Soooo… I maybe, kinda, sorta bought a pint of Ben and Jerry's Late Night Snack, ya know, the one with the salted carmel swirls and chocolate covered potato chips?!?!? and I maybe, kinda, sorta ate WAY too much of it, like maybe all of it. I know, I know, shame on me, but it's no secret that I'm an emotional eater and some things are hard to break. I had a difficult Thursday and Friday getting back from vacation and, well, I had a moment of weakness. Not that it's an excuse, but it is reality. You've got to give me credit for confessing this, it would have been way easier to keep my secret to myself (well, me and Tara, cause I did text her a picture of my pint - but she didn't know I ate the whole dang thing in one sitting).
I also have to confess that over vacation I only kept a "mental count" of my calories and that has extended since being home, so starting today I HAVE TO GET BACK ON TRACK and use myfitnesspal.com and enter in every bite of food that crosses my lips.
The good news, and Stacy is gunna flip, is that I jumped on the scale over the weekend and I'm down 25lbs (well, until that ice cream takes effect). I have to admit that I had a dr.'s appt. on Thursday and I just took that weight as my check-in weight and didn't really bother hopping on the scale Friday. The cool thing is that Stacy is on vacation this entire week so she won't be doing my weigh-in for almost 2 more weeks and I'm certain that I'll be able to keep off the 25lbs and hopefully more by then. So exciting. I have to say, that I'm having a little bit of a mental block when it comes to losing more weight… I suppose that in my mind 25 pounds is A LOT of weight and while I know that I need to lose more, I kinda feel like I've done a good job and I'm all done. I know that probably doesn't make much sense but it's what's going on in my mind.
There is no bootcamp today or Thursday, but there's a make-up class Saturday and my dear friend Shy is going to come with me to check it out. Shy is my hero and I can't wait to see her run circles around me. I should be out there right now running around and gettin' my exercise on, but Mondays are typically my crazy, busy day and I'm happy to have the break today and will make it up on my own on Thursday and again on Saturday.
Vacation is over and it's time to get my bootie back in gear and my routine back in place.
*HUGS* XOXOX

Liz, that ice cream sounds so good! I don't blame you at all. I was so impressed with your dedication in Vermont. You were outside even before James and I got there, so that's really something. It was great to see you in person and see the amazing progress you're making. I'm so proud of you - keep it up!! xoxo
