Back to Reality

First of all I want to thank everyone for the lovely birthday wishes. You sure know how to make a gal feel special!

Oh my goodness is P.F. Chang's yummy! Wow! We ordered the lettuce wraps and they were as good as anticipated. For our entrees the 5 of us split 3 entrees and it worked out perfect. We had Walnut Prawns, Lemon Chicken and Beef with Snow peas. My fave was the Walnut Prawns. We got dessert as well which was cheesecake and chocolate cake. I shared the cheesecake with everyone. I also had 2 lemon drops. It was all phenom! Wow! No wonder everyone raves about it.

So, now it is back to reality... whew... I want to be down a total of 75 lbs. by the time we go to Alaska which is July 23rd. It is 5 weeks from now. The scale has been wavering the last week or so so I will need to reassess tomorrow (#7). If I truly busted arse between now and then I am sure I could do it. Reign in the portions and exercise like a mad dog. I can do it! I can do it! One thing that I have been bad at this entire journey is water. I am better then I was in the past but I am still lacking the 8-10 glasses I should be drinking. I need to keep trying to drink it though.

Tonight I am going to Wii it while they repair the bathroom ceiling. Today makes it a month since it happened. I am so ready for it to be finished. The latest thing though is insects. We have not had any in our place, except for a few baby spiders but the neighbors have some. I won't go into what kind but they are yucky. Ewwww... They may have to fumigate the building but we shall see. It just grosses me out thinking about it... Until next time...

  7. There's a PF Chang's in my town. It's so darn hard to get a table but so worth the wait. They do make great food. One thing about setting goals like "I want to be down a total of 75 lbs" by a certain date. I never live up to my own goals because they usually require PERFECT behavior and never letting life get in the way. If I'm still working at it (and not letting myself backslide), that's good enough. I hate to set myself up for self-disappointment. Is your trip to Alaska a cruise? I'm so jealous!
