Officially Official

Well, I know I said I would give a blow by blow on the whole proposal story, but to be honest, I'm a little worn out from telling and re-telling the story, and I know I'm not done yet.

But, I have the RING! Its official as of yesterday morning at roughly 4:30AM.

That being said I think I was totally justified in going a little crazy on my food. It wasn't anything super fancy, that's just not us, we went to Chili's when I got home, had a nice dinner a few margaritas and a totally awesome ... you know how easy it is to be distracted by a shiny diamond... Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake... that's actually what put me over the top, I was good on the rest of my food choices.

I've started figuring out the total amount of calories I burn vs the calories I consume, which includes my resting metabolic rate [RMR] which I calculated at THIS site. So I'm estimating my RMR is at 2615 as per the site, and to loose 1-2 lbs a week you need to burn 500-1000 more calories than you consume. I've started a spread sheet [I like spreadsheets] to see how I'm doing. Even with my big fat dessert yesterday I still burned 601 calories more than I consumed. So I feel like I'm still on track, I actually have been pretty consistent with burning more than 500 calories as opposed to my intake.

Well this morning started off well, since I won't be able to make my 1600 class, I woke up at my normal time and went to the early morning class. I really do like working out in the morning, I feel refreshed, awake, vibrant and so sexy :) and that just carries me through the day so much smoother. I didn't even get frustrated with the traffic that I ran into heading from class to work :). I can't wait till my 9-6 shift when I'll get to do the morning classes for a whole month :).

Well today's our Lady's Lunch, which can sometimes be a real challenge, but I've gotten better. The worst is when we go to the Italian place with bread .... the most evil of carbs ;). I'm hoping for shrimp tacos today actually, but we'll see what the consensus is.

Everyone have a great day! I know I will :D.
