Eating wise the past couple of days have not been that bad.  During the day it is very easy to stay on points because I am busy and have to plan out when I eat.  However, night time is completely different story when I have nothing to do.  I need to get some self control for the evenings.  I have been to the gym for the past 3 days I have been back at school.  I think I might walk outside a bit tomorrow to work on my tan a bit.

At the gym yesterday I had loaded 270 lbs on to my seated leg press.  Since the machine itself is about 56 lbs, total I did about 326 lbs.  I did 2 sets of 10 which is what I was doing with my trainer at home.  The unusually thing was that as I was loading the weight on these 2 guys doing free weights stopped and watched me.  I am not joking but one of the guys was totally staring.  He then said to me something along the lines of wow that is a lot weight on there.  I wish I could do that.  Do you play sports??????????  ahahhahahaha.  Someone asking me this.   And from a basketball player at my school no less.  I am on my way to a hotttt looking Sarah.  I just smiled and told him I did it to get in shape =)

Forgive me, for it has been 10 days since my last post.  Life gets hectic and then it settles down.  The good news:  I was home for 2 weeks and did not gain or lose any weight!!!!!!  Boy did I eat out a lot and a bunch of stuff I usually never eat.  The bad news:  I am still at 252.  My goal was to be at 250 by WPB.  I am not sure it is going to happen, plus I might be doing some drinking tonight.  I worked out with the trainer twice =)  When I go home in October he wants me to be at 232.  I think I can do it!  Ok sorry for the teaser.  I have to get ready for Muzik Mafia!

Eating at home is rough!  It seems that at home I have so many more choices than I do at school!   I have been helping with crafts at vacation bible school with my mom and it is in the evenings ans dinner was served.  Definitly not point friendly foods.  Since I got home on Tuesday I have managed to get some form of excercise in even if it is just walking for 30 minutes.  Yesterday I went to the Y and I ran for 24 minutes straight at 5.7 mph!!!!!!!!!  Woah!  That is about 2.25 miles.  I am sure I will be ready for the 10k next July!
 
Yesterday I went with my friend who is getting married and 2 of the other bridesmaids to pick out and try on dresses.  Now when it comes to something like this I really don't care what I have to wear.  I will just go with the flow.  Since I had no clue what size I was, I just grabbed a bunch of different sizes to try on.  I ended up being able to fit into a size 16!  Now it was a little tight, but nonetheless it still zipped up.  I won't have to order it until late December, so that still gives me time to lose some more weight.
 
I am meeting with my trainer tomorrow and I can't wait to see him!

So on Saturday I went to Chik-a-Filet at the mall with my roomate. I had a grilled chicken sandwhich and some waffle fries. The sandwhich was ok and so were the fries. Nothing spectacular. In fact, after a couple of fries I could really taste the oil. After dinner I went to the Great American Cookie Company. I have been craving a Doozie for what seems like months now. A doozie is 2 cookies with frosting in the middle. Boy was it good!!!!! But it sure is a doozie points wise- 12 points! Shopping wise I got a shirt size XL from NY and Company that I have been eyeing since may. It is what I would like to classify as "booty gear." But this is tasteful booty gear. It has only one sleeve, it is black, and on the one sleave it is connected with this silver ring. Hmm I wonder if that makes any sense?

On Sunday, my friend was in town, so I have been playing tour guide. I splurged when we went to the Pancake Pantry. I had strawberry pancakes AND hash brown. Man was it good too =) I showed them all around Nashville. For dinner we went to Blackstone brewery. I had never been there before. It was pretty good. I got a cobb salad. I used the fork in the dressing method. Overall, I think I made a pretty good choice considering my options. Later we went drinking downtown. My "drinking" consisted of Diet Coke. Even though I didn't drink alcohol I still had a good time. I definitly had a good time playing foosball and I was the best player out of the three of us =)

Also on Sunday I got this really cute black skirt for $15 from the Gap outlet. Today I got a white wind coat from the Gap that I am in love with =)

That's all for now =)
