Wow, I can't believe I haven't updated since the start of the year.

I'm currently down to 155 lbs, I'm at the gym 4-5 times a week working out on the machines or just taking part in some fitness classes. I'm down a couple of dress sizes and I can see AND feel the difference.

I was exceptionally proud of myself last night. Every Friday, my friend and I go out for dinner and a movie. I won't lie, Fridays are my cheat days. I always end up eating some breaded chicken or a sandwich or something, and having alcohol. I'm ashamed of myself, because if I'd stuck to plan I would weigh a lot less than I do right now.

But last night we went out, and without even thinking, I ordered 'Jack Daniels Chicken' at TGIs, with sauce on the side. It was grilled chicken breast, broccoli, peppers and tomatoes, and I couldn't even finish it! My friend had the sauce and the cheesy mashed potatoes that came with it, but it was only afterwards that I realised that I'd just made an Atkins friendly choice without batting an eyelid - I think I'm a changed woman! I also treated myself to a pair of jeggings yesterday (denim leggings incase you don't know lol) and I was so proud of myself being able to wear them now that I've lost enough weight to not cause people to run away screaming when they see me in leggings - but after just an hour I was having to pull them up - they're at least 2 sizes too big! That's $12 lost, but I couldn't be happier

I leave for New York in 9 weeks, so I'm well on track to hit 135 lbs by then
