March Madness

Well I have officially *sucked* at blogging this week!
I slowly got over my cold after finally getting some antibiotics last Friday.  I will honestly admit that I did not do ANY exercise this week beyond the occasional walking in the park.  Even walking seemed to make me have a coughing fit, so Jillian Michaels and I did not have any meetings this week.  Looks like my Ripped in 30 is turning into Ripped in 40-50 ;)
Here are some victories and struggles of dieting this week:
1. Being sick dropped my appetite and desire to drink wine
2. Being sick led to decreased workouts
3. I was able to go to a party on a Saturday night and avoid ALL of the ah-ma-zing treats that I wanted to eat!
4. I went to a party and didn't have any alcohol
5. I planned my meals and stuck to my plan
6. I cheated on Tuesday for my dad's birthday (and totally paid for it with an upset stomach)
7. I got a job (!) which is both exciting financially and terrifying for my diet
8. I stayed within my points for the week, but did not do a good job of tracking them online (which is a slippery slope)

Well, there it is!  Tomorrow is weigh-in day and I hope the numbers keep going down so I can reach my goals.  I have a very challenging weekend coming up due to my dad's 60th birthday party on Saturday as well as the ACC tourney.  I know it seems silly, but there are certain times in my life that I just associate with food, and the month of March is one of them.  There is usually a lot of drinking, celebrating, and eating junk food that comes along with being a basketball fan.  I hope I can plan some healthy alternatives and avoid the alcohol except for my one planned night of Saturday.
