I did it!

Okay folks here is a huge NSV for me, I made a plan and stuck to it! I went to lunch and ordered a green salad and ate 3 pieces of my pizza. I gave the left overs to a coworker (they are a little less fortunate than I) for her kids dinner tonight. It's kind of a thing we do when the office goes out, if I get pizza her kids get it for dinner that night - they love it! I am so proud of myself for no going over, I could have eaten the whole thing! I was so hungry by the time we were served. I made sure I had a cheese string and some grapes before for a snack but the service was so slow I was starving by the time we got out food. I hate that feeling - I had planned and was going to be fine but when you get that hungry you just want to eat as fast as possible. I tried to slow myself down and really enjoy my food and kind of let it digest properly. I am pleased to say that I am pleasantly full and not stuffed!

So I am not sure what I will get in for activity today as the weather has been kind of off and on and I think hubby is going to be late from work. I have planned a nice light dinner for tonight and hopefully a really good WI tomorrow. I saw a really happy number on the scale this morning =) I loved seeing how everyone else feels about weighing in - I know I shouldn't weigh everyday, sometimes it even gets me into trouble. I will see a good number and feel that I can "afford" to eat a little more than I should because I am doing well.

I talked with my mom today and asked if she can watch Grace for Tuesday night. Hubby has a midterm Monday evening so we don' really have time for Valentine's, I will pick up his favorite cupcake (Red Velvet) for a sweet treat and then I am going to surprise him with dinner at our favorite italian restaurant. The food is amazing so I am going to have to make sure I get my workouts in! We go there for every occasion, it just wouldn't be right if we didn't go.

My sweet baby girl is going to be 10 months old tomorrow and I can't believe how fast this is all going. I am going back to work on April 18 (12 months and 10 days off) and I have such mixed feeling about it. I am excited to be back doing "work" but I don't want to miss anything Grace does....it is going to be really hard.
