Sixty days strong

   I have celebrated my sixty days and am still rocking it! I am proud of my progress, and the compliments are rolling in. Call me conceited, but the comments from my coworkers and other people are giving me that extra boost I need to stick to it! I had a little gym lull last week, I was working late mids and just couldn't drag my ass out of bed for an am work out, and the gym was closed by the time I was off...Not exactly a good excuse, but it happened. I have picked it back up and am cardio strong at the moment, can't get into the strength training though, I know it's important...but there's just no motivation there, I feel like I need to get rid of all the fat before I can even worry about the muscles.

    I currently weigh below 180...the lowest I've been in over six months! It's just a number, it's just a number, it's just a number...BUT THAT NUMBER IS BELOW 180! I may have squealed a smidge when that number showed up.

   My love took me on a date the other day. He wouldn't clue me in to where we were going, but I knew we'd be eating...I hit the gym that day and ate well and was SO excited when we headed to Old Town. After we went surfing on our first date, though I don't think either of us was sure if it was a date or not, he took me to his favorite Mexican place, it was amazing! I was a vegetarian at the time and had found that most places made a veg burrito with everything but the meat...BORING! This place stuffed the burrito with fajita veggies, black beans, fresh rice, and guacamole, and makes their own awesome sauces...I fell in love! This time, even though I am no longer a vegetarian, I ordered the same burrito. For the sake of calories (and to save my now shrunken tummy) I left off the rice, but that didn't stop me from helping myself to some of Juan's nachos during dinner. O man! The tortilla was fresh! The beans homemade, and the sauce I doused on the burrito was spicy and amazing. I was in heaven.

   After that we strolled around Old Town (and that was hard with such a full belly!). We found a little shop that sold all the candy from J's childhood and stocked up. I had told myself that I would let the date be my cheat night to treat myself for all the hard work I've put in, and didn't even end up cheating at all with my burrito...so when J suggested we stop for frozen yogurt on the way home, there was no way I could say no. I was concerned that my treat could carry into the next day (and the next), but I actually found it easy to pick back up on the healthy train because I was feeling kinda gross from the meal. Go me!
