STW, Thanks!! I sure did feel great after the meet, but sore at the same time! LOL STW, be VERY CAREFULL about breaking over on the diet, especally right now in the beginning. You will wreck yourself!! You must learn to eat right, even when you are with others who are not!
Well, apparently I did not eat as much at dinner as I thought I did. Or maybe it was relative to what everyone else ate! LOL My 11 y/o nephew made a comment about how little I ate and it didn't hardly seem fair that I had to pay full price for the buffet to my sister after they got home!!
I am usually very careful about what I eat and how much. I have become the queen of portion control. In my mind, the important thing is that this is not a diet, but a lifestyle change. Diets get broken, lifestyle changes are permanent. Well, in real life, birthday parties happen, you just have to be careful about how you approach them so that you do not revert to past bad habits. I think I handled it well, especially splitting a piece of cake with my mom that was smaller than the piece we cut for my S3.
You should feel great about your accomplishments! I know for me, I am going to register for the 8k walk for this fall and I cannot wait to do it! That is a HUGE step outside of my comfort zone, but I know I will be more than ready for it courtesy of your help! Thank you again!!

SMW, I haven't really done anything, just gave advice, anyone can do that. You are the one who has to make the lifestyle changes, and it sure sounds like you are doing just that!! Keep up the great work and keep me posted on your progress!! If I can help, please just ask!!!
