That’s how long I have until Jessica’s wedding. I can’t believe her big day is almost here — time seems to go by so much faster now. I tried my bridesmaid’s dress on again tonight, and guess what?! It is too big! The top was basically falling off of me (which is why I didn’t take a picture of myself in it…ha ha!) I’m truly amazed at how far I’ve come over the course of 3 1/2 months. I’m exercising more than I ever have in my life. I portion and prepare more meals, instead of grabbing what is convenient (except for my lunch today, unfortunately). I’m pushing myself a little more each day, and I’m proud of myself for sticking with it, despite all the roadblocks I’ve experienced along the way. I’ve wanted to give up more than a few times. I’ve shed my share of tears. But I’ve kept going. I will reach my weight goal, and I’m willing to fight the good fight to get there.

I’m saying yes to this dress! (But no to my terrible picture…it’s hard to get a good snap of something on a hanger!)

Tomorrow is weigh-in day for me. It’s been a week since I switched from Weight Watchers to calorie counting, and I want to see if there’s a difference on the scale. Here’s hoping! I stayed within my 1,400 with these meals and snacks today:

Breakfast — 1 container Chobani non-fat vanilla yogurt, 1 small banana, 3/4 cup Kashi GoLean cereal (318 cals)

Smart Ones Fiesta Quesadillas (440 cals for two) — I’m not big on eating out of a box anymore, but I was running late this morning and needed something quick to pack. These are pretty tasty, too, but higher in calories than I like.

Salad (barely any calories, and my nutritionist told me to eat as many veggies as I like!)

+ 2 tablespoons hummus (70 cals, and not pictured)

Snack: 100 calorie Kettle Korn Smart Pop

I was so hungry at dinner that I forgot to take a picture of it! Bad me! The husband made grass-fed beef hamburger steaks, sweet corn and a big pot of collard greens. I ate a few more ounces of meat (5 total), but it was still under 500 calories for the whole meal. Sparkpeople tells me I had 1,427 for the whole day, which is only 27 over my target. Not too shabby!

Workout was a 2-mile walk/jog with JD and Tex. I even sprinted the last leg home!

Does anyone have any small victories this week that they would like to share?
