Happy Valentine's Day!

Haaaaappy ♥ Love ♥ Day everyone! What a perfect way to end the weekend! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Valentine's day :).

I did really well on my calories until Thursday night.. Saturday I did OKAY. We went to eat at our favorite restaurant with my boyfriend's parents. I had a small salad w/fat free dressing and potato soup. I ate the leftover potato soup for dinner with some pita bread:

 The rest of our Saturday was spent running around & doing a little shopping :). Today the honey had to work :(. I put together this little Valentine's thing for him:

He LOOVEEEED it! I burnt all the cookies and brownies :( - but he still ate one! He's so sweet!! There is still some dough so we're gonna make some & decorate them for our families tonight! After our candlelit dinner of course (his idea! what a perfect valentine I have!).

I hope all of you - whether you have a SO or not - have an amazing Valentine's Day!!

Love always,

Carissa


P.S. I HAVE YET TO EAT ONE SINGLE COOKIE OR BROWNIE. COME OOOOONNNNNN WILLPOWER!

Weigh Day

 current weight: 204 lbs

pounds lost this week: 4

pounds lost to date: 45

um, wow. totally unexpected, especially after a holiday. let me just say:

I'm sure once I start working out again the loss will slow down. Which will happen next week... I can't believe there is only one week left of Christmas break :(! For whatever reason this semester starts wayyyy earlier than it did last year. Oh wellllll, at least I'll get to use the gym sooner!

My wounds are pretty much all the way healed up :)! I'm having some really bad pain in the lower part of my chest.. I talked about it with the boo & my mom and we came to the conclusion that my body is trying to get used to not having a gallbladder, so I might not be completely pain free for another couple of weeks or so. So there's the update on that.

I had a REALLY great Christmas. I hope you did too!!

always,

Carissa 

PS - Yesterday Old Navy was having a sale on jeans ($15!!) so I went to try to find some as mine are getting a tiny bit too loose. Aaaannnndd... I fit into 16s!! :) I didn't end up buying any, but the fact that I fit into them was enough. I'm gettin' there!

A pic of some of the Christmas lights we saw! :)

Merry Christmas!

CHRISTMAS BREAK FTW!!!!

Finals are OVER & it's Christmas break! I'm so happy! Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year!!! Look at our little tree! We still haven't put all the ornaments on yet, and I have no idea why the middle trand of lights wont work, but it still looks beautiful :]. Tomorrow's Photo Friday so make sure to check back for my updated pictures (ugh! I feel like I look BIGGER than in the last :/..)! xox!

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was just as fun and delicious as mine was! In the morning the boo & I went to his grandma's house and in the evening we went to my mom's. I can tell you that I didn't over eat but I ate what I wanted. I'm not gonna weigh in this week because of said holiday.. I think it will be best for me mentally, haha! I know today is Photo Friday.. so just in case you are in need of a pic-fix, here's me & my honey!
