No more pressure. My body will react how it will. Some things I need to be proud of, even if my body has slowed down its weight loss and I am 8 pounds away from my goal:

1. Running 2 miles straight without stopping
2. Burning 300 calories in 30 minutes on the elliptical, without blinking an eye
3. Wearing a size medium bikini
4. Looking great in JCrew size 10 skinny jeans
5. Needing to return the size large underwear and size 36C bra to Victoria's Secret because they're too big
6. Learning how to cook balanced meals, balance what I eat throughout the day, and how to exercise to take care of myself

Go me!!!

Doing well so far, just trying to get back to that even 143 I saw on Saturday... I decided to have a "realistic" day today and test myself with going out to lunch and acting on a craving I've had for days now. I had an LA Lite bar for breakfast with water, another bar as a snack before lunch with Diet Snapple Iced Tea, and then I went to the Flat Top Grill for lunch. The only frustrating part of this lunch is how addicted I am to the vegetarian chicken they have available--I have no idea how to measure this as a protein or what exactly is its nutritional content! I know it will be high in sodium but I have no idea how high. I then got a cookie from the Starbucks inside Target, a Chocolate Chunk cookie, something I had been craving for a very long time but withheld.

I have been wondering how exactly I'm going to transition to the "real world" once I reach my goal. Will I continue to withold from those temptations, telling myself I can never ever have it and then gorge myself when I finally allow it back into my life? No, I think I should try to allow myself small cravings once in a while, work those calories off, budget that food in my day as best I can and move forward. So, that's exactly what I did today. I ate what I imagined was two protein servings worth of fake chicken, I had plenty of green veggies, I put in a handful of oranges and a handful of pineapple, and cooked it all together with lemongrass water. So, both my fruit servings, both my protein, both my vegetables, and no fat because I used water to steam it. I said that the cookie would probably be about 300 calories, so I decided that was like two starches and a fat, with probably another fat to tack on because of using real butter. Well, it turns out that there is no nutritional information online for the brand of fake meat I ate today, which means I have to estimate. And then it turns out that the cookie I ate at Starbucks is actually worth 470 calories!! Whoops.

At least now I know what I need to burn off. I normally work out on Wednesdays anyways, but now I'll do 30 minutes on the elliptical (250 calories) in addition to zumba class for 60 minutes (at least 400 calories) and maybe I'll drink an extra two bottles of water to flush out that sodium... We shall see if there are any side effects of my "slip" today when I weigh in again on Friday.

As a side note: I was proud of myself today. I went to Target to buy a new swim suit, something I have always dreaded as a person who refused to buy a two-piece, who could barely fit into the 14's most stores carried. I purchased a royal purple halter top bikini today. Not a tankini that hides my mid-riff. It's a true bikini, the first one I've owned and will wear in my entire life. I now fit into a size large top (a 36C chest is still a large!) and a size medium pair of bikini bottoms. I think that's something to celebrate, even if it's on the same day as my caloric underestimation of Starbucks cookies...

Part of what I'm discovering about my body is how it needs to right itself after a major drop. I lost over 4 pounds last week so now .6 pounds coming back isn't that bad. I've still lost 38 pounds total and I'm grateful that. I'm 3.6 pounds away from the initial goal I set with LA Weight Loss, but I want to lose another 5 after that so I can be an official size 8! I'm right between a 10 and an 8 right now, I can zip those jeans up, but there's still that slight roll coming up my mid-riff... but I'm working on it!

I have to pass on my fun story from this last weekend. My girlfriends and I went out to a local brewpub on Saturday night for beer and dinner. I had an absolute blast! After hours of chatting, playing euchre, and having some good food, we got plenty of attention from two brothers and their dad. My girlfriends told me that an entire table of businessmen checked me out, the dad came on to me and told me "if he was only 20 years younger...", the brothers told me that I was smokin' hot and it was a "shame I was married" and all of that. And then my friends confided in me that our group of guy friends each had a crush on me back in college (30 pounds ago!). This is such a new concept to me: being attractive. I have this new body and I'm starting to see those times that men look at me. I love it! I crave it! I want my husband to "go to town" with me as often as he likes because I actually see myself as an attractive person now. I have always been the "fat girl" in my group of friends. I'm the one with the pretty face or the fun hair, or the big jewelry that detracts from my body. This new body has shifted my paradigm... I am now the skinny girl in most groups of my friends. My male friends are looking at me differently. My girlfriends are giving me their skinny clothes (some fit, some are too big!) and sharing their size medium pajamas when I come and visit. I even get guys to glance my way when I'm at the gym. There are so many new things that I'm still trying to wrap my brain around... and imagine how this will amplify 8 pounds from now!

Thank the lord for take-off! Today is my last day of it and I have already lost the weight I gained when I was out of town. I'll take it easy tomorrow, after a butt-kicking on the elliptical and in Turbo Kick class today. If the weather's nice, some running should suffice.

I have learned to love zucchini and egg beaters... who knew?!?

Nuts as protein twice a day for four days + jalapeno poppers + personal pan pizza with Wundoemous (a salty spice) + gin & tonic + garlic bread + croissant + 3 chocolate chip cookies + eating breakfast and drinking a bottle of water before weigh-in when I usually eat nothing = gaining 3.8 pounds.

Yuck.
