Endorphins are goood. :-D

I went to Curves tonight for the first time in a *long* while and had a terrific workout. And I love Olga - she runs "my" Curves and she's always very cheerful and asks how I've been doing and showing interest in how things are going. When I went in, she was like, "Hi! How've you been? Haven't seen you in forever!" And then when I was leaving, she was like, "So, when will we see you again?" And I told her Monday, since I'm going to dinner with

libralyte tomorrow and the beach over the weekend. And she was like, "All right, have a great weekend and don't forget to come in Monday!" I'm definitely going to start going back on a regular basis now a few times a week. It's an all around win-win situation for me, so it would be stupid not to.

And I've been doing pretty good weight-loss-wise the past couple of weeks. I'm sure though, that the first week, a lot of it had to do with eating hardly anything during Shore Leave and not really getting my appetite back until Wednesday. And then last week, I'm sure taking the diuretic helped with that loss too. But in general, over the past two and a half weeks, I've been doing my best to eat only when I'm hungry and distinguish between the different types of hungry that I feel throughout the day and make better choices when I do eat. And I'm feeling pretty good about how I'm doing. I'm not going to worry about being too nit-picky for another week or two, to give myself a little more time to cement what I've started as a habit, then I'm going to really start journalling what I eat and tweaking things.
