I just wanted to post earlier than 10:30pm at night because usually by then the blogs are pretty uninspired due to exhaustion.

This weekend is huge for me. I dropped another .6 or so today, and it's because I'm working my ass off. I've been eating perfectly, a handful of almonds on the road to school, a bowl of raisin bran before I leave, a pork chop and a small serving of fake-mashed potatoes for lunch today, I had a 210 calorie cup of soup around 4pm becuase I was starving, and we're going to have a smart dinner tonight.

I made one of my decisions easier on myself for this weekend - on Monday for my birthday dinner I chose to go to Applebees. There was about 30 restaurants I'd rather go to - and I would have gone to in the past - that I would rather go to. In the past, the birthday dinner was the reward. High fat, something I normally wouldn't have (can someone say "Louis' Pizza?), and I'd enjoy it while all the while saying that 'birthday calories don't count".

This year, I choose to do my celebrating with the scale. Applebees has a great weight watchers menu that I can have a nice dinner, enjoy my family and still keep it where I need to be.

That is what's important this year.
