Losing feels good

So, I've lost 2.7 pounds in just the one week that I've been eating better and working out.  Of course, 1 or more of those pounds could just be because of normal fluctuation.  But I choose to believe that I've actually lost them.  Especially since it was 1 pound first, the next day was another and then the rest was on the 3rd day.  I've held steady since Friday.

Well, that's not quite true.  I did go up .5 pounds today but I know that's because of the very bad dessert I had yesterday and the movie theater popcorn on Saturday.  Heh

It being my birthday and all yesterday we decided to do a couple movies with going to Chili's in between on Saturday.  I still did my normal workout in the afternoon and I had a very good meal at Chili's.  I had their salmon, rice and steamed broccoli dinner.  Although it was 897 calories (almost all in the salmon of course) we had only had one other meal that day because we got up so late.  So I only went over my cals by 96 for the day with that meal.  Then of course the movie popcorn put me over more.  Not sure how much since I had the junior but I'm sure it was at least a few more hundred since I did get butter added.  But because the food I had eaten for breakfast and then the dinner was all good for me food I don't care that the cals were so high for them. 

Sunday I worked out again even though it was my birthday.  I thought about taking a day off but decided there really wasn't any reason not to so I got on the treadmill this time.  Dinner again wasn't too bad although I did have garlic mashed potatoes.  But then we went to Red Lobster for the best worst dessert ever:

This is their molten cookie lava cake.  It's a warm chocolate chip cookie filled with gooey chocolate with a scoop of ice cream on top.  This killed me with 1,070 calories.  We each had our own.  But I don't care, it was my birthday cake.
