7 Weeks and Counting down!

7 More weeks til I am planning on going on stage!
   I dropped a little more weight this week and this morning the scale read 130.1...I weighed 130 1 week out from my last competition and dropped to 125 the week of. Its still 7 weeks away so I am on the right path. I shouldn't care what the scale says, it doesn't matter what it reads, its how you look and feel. I am indeed one of those people that step on the scale a couple times a week. Not healthy :)

  I had a wonderful girls weekend last week with one of my very good friends and we made a trip to the cheesecake factory. I had my (hopefully) last cheat meal for the next 32 days. I enjoyed a skinnylicious vegetable salad (yum)..lots of lima beans,tomatoes,parmesean cheese, romaine lettuce, red beets, asparagus and topped with some yummy pomegranate vinegarette (just half salad :) Then I filled my belly the rest of the way with some very plain low carb sweetened with splenda strawberry cheesecake. Yes, it was only 1/4 of the sweetness of my friends mango-lime cheesecake but it hit the spot and finishing off the entire plate was very worth it!
   We also made a trip to some shopping centers and spent a lot of money -my husband doesn't want to know how much- I invested in my first pair of skinny jeans to wear with my cowboy boots during the cooler months. I liked them a lot more than I thought I would. I was EXTREMELY happy about the size I bought. Let's just hope I can keep them and not gain too much weight back after I can start eating all my favorite things again.
Speaking of favorite things, here is a list of my top five:
1. Homemade chocolate chip cookies (very picky about them, have to be fluffy and barely done)
2.Old fashioned thick glazed donut-or white powdered raspberry filled
3. Hot chocolate of course
4. Pizza
5. Licorice  -my list is slightly different every time I think about it
I am very thankful for my family and friends for all the support they are giving me. They are all really good at keeping me on the right path and listening to all my talking about eating clean and working out (I know it could be very annoying). When its time for me to eat, that is when I really am tempted to go off. I want to eat anything I can get my hands on, but if I can learn to walk past it (also having my friend Hil push me in the opposite direction) I can grab what I should be eating :)
   I feel good about how I am progressing. I am working extra hard on my butt and my belly.. It is a lot more work to minimize the loose skin and baby pouch from having kids but I am doing it! Well TTFN until next time!
