New Years Eve....2022...

 It's the last day of 2022! Gone forever at midnight... 

We woke up to a beautiful frosty coated trees. Picture perfect!

Started off the day right with a 1 minute plank, dumb bell weights and then off to the gym for a chair massage, 30 minutes of biking and 15 minutes of various weight machines for a full body workout. 

Yesterday we didn't get to the gym. Instead Steve wanted to go to Como Zoo and take in some warm tropical air and greenery. 

We were treated to an all white December conservatory building display. We usually go in the spring and see full color. It was extra pretty all in white and green. 

Zoey with her new baby she received for Christmas from Steve's parents. So funny how she loves her big babies. 

I splurged a little Friday night. Suck with popcorn for lunch and got in some exercise working burning 400 calories for the day. Dinner was 1 beer, and we shared a burger, cheese and bacon with fries. I had one slice of bacon and gave 90% of the fries to Steve to eat. We also stopped at another brewery on the way home. Which I had a few sips. I didn't finish my first beer with dinner so I figure it was one beer total I drank. It all worked out because then Steve didn't have to order one more and I still got to take a few sips. 

In all I was around 640 calories for the day. A little over 500, but still in the weight loss zone! 

Today, will be another splurge day. I'm going to have popcorn for lunch and then a taste of my Thai Chicken soup. Tonight we are going out to dinner. Having a pizza along with one beer. I'll skip more drinks! 

I wanted to ski this afternoon, but might end up just making soup, going to Costco and then washing/ curling my hair. 

Still haven't found my week #5 reward of sunglasses but I keep looking. 

Next week, I plan to get my hair cut and styled. Maybe even go for a facial at the beauty school and get a pedicure. Well, best to space those treats out for week 7 and 8. 

I plan to purchase a Fitbit scale so I can finally weight myself. I am a bit scared to find out how much more weight I have to lose. I'd like to think I'm in the 170's, but it's just a guess. I'll have to purchase that today and maybe Tuesday if it arrives I'll weight myself or not? Might wait till week #10! I just don't want to get discouraged with having to lose a lot more than I originally was thinking. I do plan to measure my inches lost every Tuesday or Wednesday morning to see if there is any more progress. My jeans are loose enough now where I don't have to unzip or unbutton them. I just just pull them off. Nice! I'll need a new pair soon as they are feeling saggy.
