So as of today, I am at 164.8 lbs and down a total of 18.6 lbs. Meaning I hit my 10% target today! Yay! I was a little worried because I am dealing with an injury, so my running has been halted for the time being. I go to see the doctor on July 9th, but until then, I am stuck with low impact activities. So I have been walking and I am looking for a place where I can swim that isn't too expensive. But it seems that the drop in activity has not hurt my weight loss yet.

I was also really proud of myself last night. We had some friends and work associates in town, and we went to Sleek, which is a super fancy steakhouse in St. Louis. I was nervous going, not know what they were going to have, and knowing that I had a weigh-in this morning! So I ignored the bread basket, stuck to ice water and had the following:

Organic Arugula Salad with toasted walnut vinaigrette
Salmon with leeks and truffle vinaigrette (on the side) - ate 1/2 and brought the rest home
Fresh fruit and a cup of tea

The group ordered like 4 desserts for the table to share (2 orders of choc. fondue, tiramisu, banana ice cream sundae.) I ate the fruit off of the fondue tray, and resisted dipping it in the chocolate. I probably would have allowed myself a little indulgence if I didn't have to weigh in this morning, but I was plenty satisfied and felt good about it this morning.

All in all, a pretty good week. I'm bummed about being hurt, but I am finding a way around it. Hopfully I will be good as new in a few weeks. Super excited about hitting my 10%, now looking forward to being at my goal weight!
