Day 352: The One the Love

Update: 205lbs... two more weeks and 5 more pounds... it will be a close call... but either way, right now I am really really happy with it... I am 55lbs down and over halfway to my goal!

Happy Valentine's Day!!! (even to the single girls, like myself!)

I love this website: someecards.com - a little off-colour, but very funny :)

Whew... I am tired... my arms are super sore and my back is achy... exercise? you ask... nope.. nope.. instead I walked only two LONG blocks from the grocery store with 75lbs of food. (I weighed myself with all the food still in hand and it brought me to 279lbs... ). Insane amount of food... why oh why do I wait for three weeks to go grocery shopping? I am an idiot. I actually had to stop like 10 times on the way because it was just way too heavy for me to carry (and I like to consider myself moderately strong). I kept wishing someone would ask if I needed help, but alas I was on my own with those damn groceries. But I am excited to eat all of it! Pints of blueberries were a dollar, I have strawberries, bananas, low fat cool whip (my treat to myself for Valentine's day), quinoa (I will put one of your badges on my site Kathy - hopefully this week!), breads, tons of vegetables to stuff myself on in the next week. I think I'll make a chicken parmesan tomorrow night or a pizza, or pasta... oh the choices! But right now... I want some delicious fruit...

While grocery shopping I was thinking about what treat I really wanted for valentines day and as I was walking through the aisles I saw a lot that I liked, but nothing really that I wanted - either I knew a 'whole box' of something would be gone by tomorrow, or I just didn't want to pick that one thing to be my treat. I finally settled on a nice little mini-egg. I only get to eat them one time during the year (well.. the four months before Easter and the two months after.. haha), but I love them and luckily they are very single-serving. The perfect treat today. Although, I will be going out to dinner (who knows where yet) in about and hour and a half, so that may end up being the real calorie problem today, but I will do my best.

Alright... have a great, romantic, relaxing (etc.) Valentine's Day and I will see you tomorrow!
