I did it!

Here is me in my happy dance...well it's actually a pic that my girlfriend snapped of me dancing at a party on the weekend (to which I didn't get home until 5am!) But it expresses how I feel this morning!

I couldn't believe it when I stepped on the scale today and I finally did it, I am officially below 140 lbs, it's only by 0.2 lbs but I'll take it! I'm 139.8, it's easily been 7 or 8 years since I've been in the 130s. It's taken 5 weeks to lose 3 lbs which seems crazy, but considering I'm pretty comfortable at this weight I'm thinking that these last few pounds are just going to come off slow. Now that's great motivation as I head to the gym!

I counted calories this week, and it's fairly painful for me. There were times when I just didn't bother, like a different party I was at on Saturday night, there was lots of food out and I just ate whatever. But my big workouts through the week and watching what I ate the rest of the time allowed me some flexibility. I'm not going to count every calorie again this week, but I'll be conscious of what I am eating.
