doing good, but not as good as I want

Ugh!  I hate watching what I eat!  I have had a terrific week.  Teresa took the girls pictures on Sun and then Jim and I hooked up with friends.  I met with the girls at Toscana (a new fav) and found the most wonderful, awesome, to die for dish EVER!  Yep, I ate it...all.  Then went to lunch with Teresa and had great conversation.  I do love my Cass Clay girls!  Yesterday it came back at me though...

I had an appointment with both the dietician and my Dr.  First the dietician who is now fully aware that I have portion size issues and I am pretty sure thinks I am a booze hound!  She's got me plugging along and fully aware of what I need to do.  But a bottle of water between drinks?  Fine!  Then the Dr who played with my meds again and told me to weigh in every 2 weeks.

So, about that weigh in....I wanted (soooo badly) to be down more than 10lbs.  I knew I had killed it on Monday with the girls and that God-forsaken pasta dish!!  I wanted it so much that I even tried to force myself to go to the bathroom because it had been a day or more!!  I WANTED MY 10 LBS!!!  Hope, Hope, Hope!  Yep, not gonna happen.  9, I lost 9 lbs.  I know, you're all saying "but 9lbs is good" and it is, but I really wanted a milestone and 9 just wasn't it for me.  So I have, as of yesterday, lost 9 lbs in 6 weeks. Am I proud of my accomplishment, sure.  Am I disappointed about the 10, sure.  I have a goal of around 56 lbs, well 47 now.  I am going to keep plugging along and see where this journey takes me.  Hopefully someplace where I can wear shorts, a skirt or even a swimsuit and not make myself gag!

I keep forgetting to do this, but I like it so here goes:
3 things that I am grateful for:
My husband--he has been with me through thick and thin and still puts up with me.
Girlfriends--there is a certain something that happens when women get together that cannot be duplicated anywhere.  The laughter, the emotions, the venting, the laughter!
The ability to dream

I still owe you a photo, I haven't forgotten!
