Two steps forward, half a step back?

This week has flown by.  So glad it is it Friday!!! In one week, I am on vacation!!! I am very much looking forward to some down time.  I am also getting my hair cut and coloured next Friday.  This is another part of the Fab 40 project, doing things for myself and putting some effort in my appearance.  My hair is, in short, a disaster!!  It is so fuzzy and knotted - totally unmanagable.  I hope that the hairdresser can work so magic for me.

So my week has been like my title says it - mostly good and a little bad.  I will vow to take a page from my BFF Kelly's page and start doing a proper food journal.  But here it is in a nut shell.  I have had a lot of salad, fruits and some meat.  I have been doing pretty good with avoiding the bad starchy carbs - that is until today.  I went for lunch with my boss and we got an appetizer of bread with some dip.  I told myself, just a couple pieces, but my best laid plans were cast aside when I tasted how great that bread was.  My lunch was good - salmon, brown rice and roasted veg. 

I had one night with snacking in it - an apple with PB and some crackers.  But I am okay with it.  I felt bad about it, but I truly have avioded snacking more and better than I ever thought I would.  So although it was a two steps forward and a half step back, I feel good about my week.  I know I am working hard and I know I will achieve my goal, I am positive about it.  Clothes are feeling better, and I feel better about myself.

What is helping me is my husband is now really focused on losing weight too.  Not that I need him to be to succeed, but it sure helps to be on the same page and have someone else to hold you up when you think you are going to crack.  So I consider myself a lucky girl - I have a supportive husband and supportive friends - I can't fail with all that support.

I need to step up my exercise.  I still have not figured out a routine that will work now that hubby is back at work, but we will figure it out and I will make it happen. 

I am looking forward to a great weekend and being productive as well as healthy.  The scale has been my friend this week and I want it to do the same on Monday when it counts!

Good week - happy Kim!
