the incredible shrinking woman

i refuse to weigh myself until the weekend, but i think i'm going to make progress. after a chinese food-fest with the gang on sunday for the grammys, after which i felt sluggish and nauseous, i decided to be much, much stricter with myself. no south beach or atkins, where there's room for interpretation (and cheating) with all those high-fat foods... i'm going the simple route to start off. i've been doing a protein shake for breakfast, low-carb bar for a snack, meal bar for lunch, and then a weight watchers dinner, with a simple snack (like popcorn) in the evening. today i'll probably get a turkey sandwich instead of the meal bar... but the key is to stay at or under 1400 calories. oh, and of course do some sort of exercise daily, even if it's just walking for 20 minutes.

i forced myself to go dancing last night, and i'm glad i did. my dancing has been so crappy lately, i didn't want to go out and have it happen again. but i made myself go, and i concentrated really hard on following better... and i got back in the groove. i only sat out maybe 2 or 3 songs, out of the 2 hours i was there. i'm really sore this morning, but much more psyched. perhaps i'll go out thursday as well. :)
