11 days left

my birthday is this week and so is my grandmother's, so we had lunch at ruby tuesday's today. I had a salad (60) and turkey burger sliders (400) and some of the fries I didn't know would come with my meal (100?) so not that bad, really, for a lunch out. breakfast was a fiber one bar (140) and blueberries (40) and dinner was a small helping of rice and chicken (150)

really the day was fine. except that then my aunt brought us godiva chocolate (her working there and getting 90% off is a blessing and a curse) and I had waaay too much. oh, and the crackers, and then the cream cheese, and then the ice cream. yeah. after the chocolate I pretty much just went into full on binge mode. it was gross.

so with a stomach full of junk food and guilt, I did a 10 minute jump rope work out and a 20 minute high-intensity aerobics video. then I did my usual hour of biking with a few hills thrown in. that all, plus a half hour of power walking with the dog, added up to around 600 calories burned. my stomach was perfectly cold, telling me some of the chocolate was being burned off for good. thank goodness for that.

that was the bad part of today. the good part was that I woke up to 153.6 on the scale this morning, which was really nice to see. I'm trying for 150 flat on my birthday on friday. the other good news is that I have 3 interviews lined up for jobs and interviews once I get back to Boston. I really need some of these to work out so I can make some money for europe. otherwise I will have to borrow money, which I don't want to do at all.

and! I finally got some brown leather ankle boots. I've been wanting a pair for a month now. my grandmother was a darling and got them for my birthday. what a sweetheart <3

more randomness-
blogs I'm obsessed with right now:

just some new things for you to read, since I'm sure you don't get enough time on the internet ;P

challenge day 23-
how did the media play into your weight loss?
well I don't know how to answer this. I mean, of course it did, I don't know how any modern girl wouldn't be affected by the media. but I can't point to anything specific and say that one actress or model made me want to be thin. but one thing I can say is, I want to be in the media when I grow up and being thin will definitely help my career path.

ps
missinsanity, I miss you. come back to blogging and my life.
