Dodged a bullet

Well, I made it through elimination, but only for a drop.  At first when I saw that I am in like last place overall, I was  completely depressed.  I haven't had a Soda since Feb 1st... and except for 5 bad days total last month I have eating really well, even at Mardi Gras celebration, I had a taco, my first red meat since Feb 6th.  I have been going to the gym nearly every day (except 4 days in the last month) 

So I was depressed a little, cause I am like cut me a break man.... what else!  But the good news I started this thing in a size 16, tight (you know those supposed "relaxed" fit jeans not so stretchy anymore)  Now I am putting on my first size 12's since alot of years.... 

I don't know exactly what that means, in terms of the challenge, but to me it means more shopping, and now I have to work even harder which makes me feel challenged and a little overwhelmed, and a little teary, this is my last chance at gym workouts, since that won't even come close to fitting our budget.  I am looking at alternatives for home workouts, so I can continue to work out after this is all over.  wish me luck.

So in celebration of my pity party, I went out and ran 1.5 miles...
