Yep..you saw right!! I waved buh-bye to the 200's this morning! YIPPEEE!!! I am very excited but, then again, I've been here before. Last year, actually..then I gained it all back.

Trivia went well. I didn't eat ANY of the yummy snacks that were right under my frickin nose. I smelled the shit out of them, though. The buffalo chicken dip smelled AWESOME!! My sister-in-law brought it and she also brought celery sticks to dip it in along with the crackers/chips. I DID eat the celery. It gave me something to munch on while everyone else was eating and drinking. I was eating celery and drinking iced tea. But..I did it. It was not easy but it is a mountain conquered.

I was at the Legion all day today. I got there at 10 to help set up for the BB gun shoot and stayed until I had to go to work. I smelled the food and watched the beer flow while I ate my orange. Thank GOD Marilyn came. I was very happy to see her. She helped me stay in line, gave me encouragement....and bought me an iced tea. I am probably boring her with my questions.

I am hungrier than I have been today, but thinking back to what I ate (Orange, Spicy Chicken soup from the cookbook, steamed flounder, celery and 1/2 grapfruit), I should've expected it. No carbs and not NEAR as much coffee as I have been consuiming. I think that really helps me during the day. I didn't get a chance to plan ahead for today, so I had to grab what was made already. I'm glad this weekend is over. It was a bit rough for me. I think it would be best if I avoid "social gatherings" for the next few weeks. Thank God I'm working Superbowl Sunday. WHEW!!

Not much more to post today. I have to be back at work at 10:30am tomorrow morning but at least I will have time to prepare better.

Hoping for 198 tomorrow!!
