Back yet again

I want to add that I am not able to comment on anyone's blogs for some odd reason but I am keeping up with ya'll.  Thanks Amy for the blog award nomination!!  I hope that I will be able to comment from my home computer....not that I am blogging from work or anything.

I really don't mean to keep pulling a disappearing act.  My work schedule is insane this time of year on a normal year (October is the first of our FY so we are working on closeout) but I was the lucky recipient of a brand spanking new project with high visibility and an impossible deadline.  No worries, I have been known to pull a rabbit out of hat a time or two but it leaves little time for real life.

I am reaching a point in my weight loss were people are actually starting to notice.  My hair stylist and a friend at the gym both comment on it.  I did measurements at the gym on Sunday and I am down about 12 inches and 4% body fat, which puts me in the normal range!!  That made me so freaking happy.  Even eating out I am down.  My weight may not be moving very fast but I am happy that the inches and the fat are going bye-bye!!

So this weekend I went into a store that I never thought I would go into, American Eagle, and bought a pair of jeans.  More importantly not in the biggest size they carry!!  I have been getting comments from friends that I was starting to look like the little wanna be gangster boys with the pants hanging half way to their knees, couldn't have that.

Eating is really strange now.  I am at that point that when I eat out I get the looks and comments from the waitstaff wanting to make sure my food was ok.  I went out to eat last night and since I had burned 600 calories at the gym earlier that day I wanted to make sure and eat very slow and take in more food than I normally would.  It took me a little over an hour to eat probably 3/4 of a taco and enchilada (thank you a la cart menu).  I go back for a fill Oct. 3.  I haven't had any PB experiences and the weight isn't falling off but I know I can't get much more of a fill and eat the amount of protein that I need to eat.  Of course things can change drastically in two weeks, we will see.

Hope everyone had a great weekend...
