Weigh-in and Food Journal

I feel like I ate a TON this week.  Saturday night was our 11th wedding anniversary, so Asa and I went out to eat at Fieldstone Grill.  We did not hold back...we had drinks, appetizers, dinner, and dessert, and I didn't even attempt to count calories.  I was back on track Sunday morning, though!


Starting weight: 172
Last week's weight: 167
This week's weight: 166



I am on spring break this upcoming week - it's always more difficult to stick to healthy eating patterns when I'm at home than at work (I don't have much down time at work, so I'm not constantly grazing).  Throw my son's birthday and Easter in there, and the food temptations will be many.   Wish me luck!
