Friday again. Huh.

I almost forgot to weigh in cuz I didn't realize it was Friday. So, my weight is up to 171.8 this morning. And I gotta say, I'm ok with that. I've had a TON of salt in the last two days and I don't regret any of it. It'll come back off. I'm not really worried. Or discouraged. Everything I ate was in a happy celebratory type mood with friends and I while I did eat too much, I didn't go completely crazy. I mean, I did eat 2 dinners, but that's not completely crazy, right??

So, my weight is up .8 from Monday and I'm pretty sure there's no way I'm going to make my Jan. 1 goal of 165. And that's ok. I've thought about it and while weightloss is important to me, it's not the most important thing. Yesterday I had a really great day. I spent the afternoon at the neighbor's house making earrings and chatting. Then April and I went for a walk around a park in Clifton and went to dinner at Starvin' Arvins (love that place). Then I went over to Leasa's for the bunco Christmas party. We didn't play bunco because there were only 5 of us, but we had nachos and sweet treats and talked and laughed and it was really fun! And I need that kind of interaction more than I need to be skinny. I want to be thin and I will get there, but I'm not going to deprive myself of social funness just because I don't want to be tempted to eat. And I really know in my heart that I will be able to keep working out and keep tracking my calories. And I'm staying mostly on track. A few bad days of eating isn't the end of the world and when all the Christmas hullabaloo is over and done, I'll be able to re-focus.

Having said that, here are my goals for the day:
Drink 2 bottles of water - I'd like to drink 3, but I'm trying to be realistic
track calories
stay under 1300
track my calories from yesterday, just see what the damage was
exercise (I'm thinking it might be a good day for a dance party!)
work on my dad's Christmas present - he has a way of showing up just when I'm getting ready to print pictures, so I haven't gotten very on it.
