Today was weigh-in day!!! Guess what?!??! I am STILL AT 137!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is getting a little crazy, let me tell ya!
I have been taking 1 water pill every morning this week (to counteract Sundays 3 lb overnight gain and TOMs water retention wrath) and that seems to have helped a little. I think I will do that every month the week before TOM.
That way I will be able to fit into my clothes ALL month long!!! I have a feeling I will see a loss next Friday and here is my twisted logic on that: I am STILL at 137, the same weight Ive been for over a month. But last week (at the same weight) I put on the jeans I am wearing today and they fit perfectly. Today, the same jeans are a little snug (I have some water retention flabbiness). SO, I think that I must have lost some weight but I am still at 137 because I am retaining a little water. If my theory holds correct, I will hopefully see a loss next week!
But regardless, its the new me and I am not too concerned with what the scale says. I am consistently exercising and eating right.
We are going tubing tomorrow down the Salt River. I think there are 12 of us going. The scenery is gorgeous and it is very relaxing to float down the river with some frosty beverages! No glass allowed - well have to get creative
Afterwards we are going to a friends house. He makes the best carne asada and we will be having tacos and margaritas. I will enjoy a little bit of everything - I think I have finally gotten to the point where I will stop eating when I am full. I just try to remember how bloated and uncomfortable and disappointed I feel when I overeat. Its not a good feeling and it isnt worth it! I am trying to chew very slowly and enjoy every bite. You know, re-train my brain to eat like a normal person!
This will be my final exam to see if that new habit is actually fully formed and in effect, wish me luck!!

Jane-the Caribbean Daze was a pina colada with raspberry rum added. It tasted good, but I like to know my drinks have alcohol in it, and this sure didnt seem like it! Your margarita on the other hand perfect! And my dinner out was delicious, it was at this new Spanish Fusion restaurant called Zocalo.

That is a good way to knnow when you have had enough, though!! Have a great, great weekend!! 
But I had fun!!! Tubing was great, the weather was awesome and we floated by a pack (herd?) of wild horses drinking out of the river. Don't get to see that very often!

for that darn scale to get moving.......
I was hoping for weights, but that was a no-go. I was just too busy! I will only be able to make it to the gym 3x this week. I will be able to do Pilates tomorrow and Sunday, so I guess 5 workouts for the week is pretty good. I did have a weak moment last night and I ate a small handful (probably ¼ cup) of Cocoa Puffs around 8:30pm. Nothing too terrible, just enough to get rid of my late night sweets craving!! For today:
I think the wild horses were dragging me TO the margaritas!!
