How the *&$% did I LOSE?!

I'm down .2 today. Being that I was SURE I was going to have a gain, I'm OVERJOYED...believe me - this was a HUGE SV!

Dear Body:
THANK YOU.

Lesson learned: I will not go into the red this week. I am RE-restarting Cycle 3 of OP to Overcome: NO RED POINTS. I can do 21 days without "Red Points" and my body will thank me. Between my 29 DPT, 49 WPA, and APs from running about 13 miles this coming week, I should have MORE than enough food, and still be able to create a calorie deficit. (I only eat about HALF of my APs when I am done with my WPA. I always use my AP's before my WPA).

I ate a LOT of crap this week, with all of the junk that has been in my house, leftover from my Superbowl Party. And I got to thinking....when I eat CRAP, I feel like CRAP. Doritos? Crap. Potato chips? Crap. Ranch Dip? Crap. Pepperoni? Crap.

Stop eating crap = stop FEELING like crap. This is the first week I have really done this since P+ started, and I swear I am NOT going to do it again.

In other, more exciting news...

P is taking me out for dinner for V-day on Monday. He asked before we were "official" if he could see me that day (which I thought was ADORABLE, as I tend to think things are, with him). Last Monday, he texted me while I was at work, to find out if I prefer Italian or Seafood. My response, in typical girl fashion was:
Italian....but am also very partial to seafood so either is fantastic. ;)

So P made reservations at BOTH Italian and Seafood restaurants. He told me last night that we'll pick one to cancel, but he wants to take me to both places bc he really likes them both, "so whichever one we DON'T go to, we'll save for another day."

My plan for V-day is to:
1) Eat LOTS of Power Foods for Breakfast and Lunch
2) Have a veggie snack before dinner (7:30 reservation, at either place)
3) Halve the portion size on whatever I eat at the restaurant.
4) Stick to ONE glass of wine. (which is good, bc I need to drive home @ the end of the night anyway)
5) Limit ANY bread to one piece

P knows that I like to eat, like to cook. He also knows that I have been heavier and am trying to "lose my thyroid weight." He doesn't know yet that I am on Weight Watchers, but it really hasn't come up. I think when I get more comfortable in this relationship, I will let him know....but only if I think it has staying power.

(((P+, and feeling completely appreciated by new DBF)))
