Remember Lot's Wife

Scott's birthday. Stopping by tonight, but not celebrating until the weekend (I'll bring some chocolate and a token gift for tonight). Made reservations at one of the top 2 restaurants in the city... at the chef's table. 8 course meal prepared around our likes and dislikes. He's a foodie and loves extravagance and luxury and will be thrilled, I think.

Bought a nice dress for Saturday. It was fun shopping, even though I am not really happy with my body as it is, because I went down a size.

Made my goal of 3 pounds for this week :) Felt like a struggle, because I had a couple of days where I dipped even lower, but then went back up a pound... But still just thrilled to have made my goal and know those lower numbers are right around the corner.

It has been a rough week with my jobs and classes. Finals next week and then a break. Don't know exactly what's up for summer. Trying to sort out my options. And budget for them. Blech.

I ended up going close to my calorie limit (eating my exercise calories for those who know what that means) every day. This might be due to the fact that my calorie budget dropped since I lost weight. I have a personal goal of staying between 1200-1300 calories daily, but require that I at least stay under the limit Loseit sets for me.

Only got my gym workouts and a couple extra walks. So I met my minimum goals of an hour exercise/day and staying within my Loseit calorie budget every day. I also increased the intensity of my workouts quite a bit. A really good week actually, but not good enough for my perfectionistic soul.

The new beads I ordered arrived! They sent a complimentary travel bag and cleaning cloths, too :) I haven't decided which I will "earn" for this week. I like it to be something meaningful for that week. I guess I have the rest of the day to think it through... the lions would be appropriate- if I do something bold. Was thinking of the ice, but for me it represents salt and Lot's wife. And I am not quite ready to Not Look Back.

My favorite of the lot was the Naughty Dragon. I am thinking of holding that for when I meet a big goal- the week I hit my "no longer obese weight" maybe.

Checked out Ben's facebook page again... sometimes he posts things- songs especially, and I wonder if they are meant for me. But then again, he blocked me, so doesn't think I'll see it, right? Or maybe he does realize I am too smart for that. Or maybe they are meant for someone else. Who? No, I am not ready for salt.
