So, I'm closing in to 10 pounds lost, and I couldn't be more excited! Actually, I could be more excited if I were closing in on 50 pounds lost, but 20% of the way there isn't too shabby.
I'm a little bit nervous about this weekend and early next week. Oliver and I are going to the zoo tomorrow, and we'll probably be eating lunch there. I'm not sure quite what to expect, or how to plan ahead, but hopefully there will be some good options. Marilu is trying to eat healthy as well, so at least I won't be alone. Plus, walking all day and pushing a stroller/carrying a toddler, should help me burn off a few extra calories.
Next week I'm heading out on a business trip to Chicago. I have to be at the office at 5:30 a.m., so it's going to be a long day of airport food and minibar temptations. I'm going to go to the grocery store before I leave so that I can stock up on a few healthy things to have on hand. I'm also going to make another batch of granola bars so that I can take some of those for snacks.
I just hope by the time I come back on Wednesday, I'm at the 10 pounds lost mark! At the rate I've been losing, that wouldn't be impossible, but I'm trying to set realistic goals -- hope (and plan) for the best, but expect the worst!
