So Much SUCCESS and FAILURE all in one day

10:09 PM
It is about an hour an nine minutes past my bedtime--but I'm justifying how tired and crabby I'm going to be tomorrow morning by doing cool stuff for my page, and being an awesome girlfriend. The first I will elaborate on-->I put a little counter thing at the top that says how many pounds I've lost and where I'm at in the whole progress dealio. It just keeps it right there in my mind, so it's more motivating. The second I won't...all I can say is it is my boyfriend's birthday next week, and I think he's going to be excited. We're going to his favorite restaurant this weekend to celebrate, and I went to Maurices today and bought a new outfit. I will take lots of pictures this weekend and post because it's probably the cutest outfit I've ever purchased in my entire life. Not even exaggerating a little bit.

Let me just say that it is so much more fun shopping for clothes when you're not quite the whale you used to be. I had the satisfaction of buying a large dress today instead of an extra large...and I look good in this thing. Not to be all about myself (I think I've earned it anyhow) but once my make-up and hair is all done up, you better watch out. *See! I'm getting my self-esteem back!*

Those were my successes for today: now on to my failures.

I didn't have to babysit today, and I got to spend the entire day with my love--so of course it felt like a Sunday. He proceeds to hand me a stick of deer jerky and says, "Here, try this." Without thinking for a single second, I did (and it reminded me of bambi, by the way so I couldn't eat anymore). Then a couple hours later in the car I go, "OH MY GOD IT'S MONDAY...meatless MONDAY!" Today was the very first day since I have begun my diet that I ate meat on meatless monday. Epic. Fail.
So tomorrow is going to carry out without meat and with smaller portions.

Today apparently I only consumed 1,073 calories. I shared a bowl of honey nut cheerios with the boyfriend, ate a fit & active mozzarella cheese stick and GASP a stick of deer jerky, two chicken tacos (figured what the hell, I already ruined it), and a side salad, and some chicken nuggets, green beans, and cucumbers for dinner. Tonight was also lifting night so I did a whole bunch of arms, lunges, and crunches. What a successful failure of a day. I'm way pumped about looking cute this weekend. I've dressed up like twice this summer. Well, it's now an hour and a half past my bedtime, and I'm only going to get 6 hours of sleep. Hopefully I can come home and take a nap before the internship, or I'm not going to be very pleasant.
Night, all:) And let the motivation continue.
