Well ... my new scale came today . And I weighed myself and it is within a few ounces of my old one . Sooooooo that extra 6 pounds the one at work added to me has to be wrong and/or added from clothing and such. Anyway , I am relieved to have that concern off my mind. I will only use the work scale for the purpose of the work challenge. All other tracking will use my own.

We went shopping over the weekend and got a great deal on a new big flatscreen tv for in my living room. And got the kids a new smart wifi blu ray player. We have alot of family movie nights on the weekends so we will all enjoy that. But I am sooooo excited cause now I am putting the old tv and dvd player in the basement ( which is a large empty waste of space ) and making myself a dedicated workout area. I really think I need that because then I have no excuse and dont have to worry about who else might want the tv. And also I dont have to have the kids all around me while working out. I think my boys would be mortified if I was working out in the middle of the living room while they have a houseful of friends . I am excited to have my own space where I can workout when I want to. I cant wait to get it all set up and ready. Hopefully within the next week I can get it all ready. I want to get some type of mat or padding for the floor , because I dont think laying down on a cold concrete floor would feel very good, and alot of my dvds have portions that are floor exercises, others are cardio and some a great mix of both.

On another positive note , At work last night the nurse I was working with saw me eating my healthy packed lunch and said " I thought you seemed thinner and you sure look like you have alot more pep in your step" . It felt really good to have someone notice that had not been told what I was doing. I feel much better lately, I feel healthier and that feeling pushes me more and more each day.

Well my eating for the day was going GREAT ... and then I went to drop the boys off at football training and all of the sudden there was an impromtu dinner invite with another mom and her daughter. Of course my daughter was like please mommy can we ?? so I said ok.

Now this was my all time favorite restaurant , BEFORE. And I now realize it can never be my favorite again because the menu includes nothing healthy AT ALL. Its an italian/pizza restaurant. All of the dinner are pasta. So I did the best I could under the circumstances. And the new me was cringing thinking that the old me wouldnt have thought twice about what I ordered and chowed down.

I had a side salad with house vinegarette. And then an appetizer order of sausage stuffed banana peppers ( which was 2 small peppers with what was probably less than one link of sausage) .

Does that seem like a reasonable choice considering that all other items were either fried, pizza or pasta, none of which would have been good. I am on my second month of my new healthy eating style and I have to learn to live again. I realized I have been avoiding social situations because I fear that I will screw up. But I am a social person. I feel kinda out of the loop lately and I need to resume my normal life , while eating healthy and making better choices.

How do you all handle dining out with friends ???
