The Shame Squad

Weight last week: 155.6 Weight this week: 154.8 Slowly chipping away at it, people! Breakfast today was a piece of whole wheat toast (80) and two glasses of lemon water. Lunch was a large Greek salad (250), and two slices of the most delicious pizza ever made (520).  Where does one find this delicious miracle?   Fireworks Pizza in Leesburg.  This is the Black Sheep, and has lamb sausage, feta, spinach, tomatoes, and balsamic, and everything is sourced locally.  I also didn't eat the crust.  And I had four more glasses of lemon water.

Weight Last Week: 155.2 Weight This Week: 155.6 Hmmmm, not too excited about that, although I do suppose I earned it.  Chris and I had a big dinner (and I had lots of wine) to celebrate my promotion, and I didn't show much restraint at the company picnic this weekend. Hey girl.  Long time no see. Onward and upward though because a few hours remain to vote for what song Johnny Weir should skate to in his next exhibition.  (Please please please please please be "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston.) Vote here .  For the terrible Whitney Houston song. Or the terrible Pussycat Dolls song.  I'm not picky. But I did well today!
