Well, I am a couple pounds closer to wearing a bikini in Hawaii on May 20th. It was a pretty good food week. I worked out 5 days this week and overall, did well with food. My big victory–if one could call it that–was my meal at The Cheesecake Factory on Tuesday. I ate good all day and made sure that I had a good amount of calories left for dinner. I use the Lose It app for iPhone to track my calories and exercise. I ordered the Vegetable Salad. Who knew they even had such a thing–it weighs in at just under 300 calories w/out the cheese and w/ the dressing on the side. That saved me lots of calories for wine and a few bites of cheesecake.
Not only can I share my victories, but I need to share my shame as well. Yesterday, I managed to eat 5–yes you read that right–5 skinny cow ice cream bars. I just couldn’t stop once I got started. I am starting to get stressed out about the upcoming semester and how little I have done to prepare. I have a huge research project I am starting and I am beginning to feel overwhelmed. This is why I ate and couldn’t stop myself. When I feel out of control, I have noticed that I lost control over the smallest aspects of my life–this means what I eat. On that note–the truffle bars by Skinny Cow are really really good.
Stumble it!

For what it’s worth-I live in Hawaii and most of the people who wear bikinis are not counting calories-at least as far as I can tell. No worries!
So is Bill wearing a speedo?
Steph–I certainly hope not!
