Weight loss and shrinkage

I lost .2 lb yesterday, and was absolutely thrilled considering I'd eaten pizza (10 pts. worth) for lunch, soup, salad, steak, shrimp, and bread for dinner, and an inordinate amount of salt.

Then today, I went to get my engagement ring sized. I have no idea what exactly a ring size is measuring, but I do know that my pre-weight-loss size was 9. Today, my ring got sized all the way down to a 6! Hey, I like that at least one part of my body is a size 6...

In other news, camp follies is over, so now we can start relaxing and enjoying camp again. There's a Cubs vs. Brewers game field trip on Thursday, and my birthday party afterward! I CANT believe I'm turning 28...

We're Engaged!!!

Last night, in a surprise move in a tea room at our sushi restaurant, Adam proposed!!! He'd been in with my dad (a jeweler) for months, and he made the ring.

We celebrated with wine, fruit, and cheesecake... and I was up 2 lbs this a.m. at WI...but I DON'T CARE!!!! It'll be gone next week, and I'm too happy to care!! It's been a whirlwind 2 days, including about 20 phone calls, 100 text messages, one mani-pedi, and a drunken soccer game with all my camp friends. Next... the planning... i have no idea where to begin!

Must've done SOMETHING right!

A lot of people on WW dread holiday weekends because of all the food they "just can't" avoid. I used to be one of those people... but what I found this week was that its not one meal, or even one day that will derail me. It's continued "holiday weekend" behavior throughout the week and weekend. I get 28 Points® in a day plus 35 extras in a week. Wednesday, I managed to consume 50 Points®. 50!!!!

Guess what? I lost 1.4 lbs this week.

Thats because I ate 50 Points® in one DAY... not EVERY day.
