No more Aerogels! Wed W30

Hello everyone! Today marks a very important landmark in my school career- I FINISHED RESEARCH IN THE AEROGEL LAB! My project is over- terminada! If you know me at all- you probably also know what a relief it is never to have to go back to that lab again. I was never really fond of my 2 year research project. Overall- glad its over, but glad I did it.

I had a pretty large golden delicious apple for 2pts for breakfast.

I worked in the aerogel lab during the day making the last few samples for my project. I took a break to eat with CJ. She and Nathan just got back from their honeymoon to the UK! I had a Smart Ones Santa Fe Style Rice and Beans for 6pts.

The adorableness that is them on their wedding day!
After lunch- back to lab. I finished around 5:30! Hooray! Matt and I went out of a celebratory dinner at Trinity for $3 Burger night. We split cheese fries (also $3), but didn't even make a dent in them 2pts. I got a burger with avocado and cheese 7pts. I had some celebration beer (of course) 6pts. After dinner with Matt, I met up with Cait for a drink at Boylan to catch up on our summers! Sooo much fun and $3 Firefly was unbeatable. Another 12pts.





WEDNESDAY STATS: 
Points: 35/24
Weekly Allowance Points: 19/35
Exercise: none
Weekly Weight Loss: Missed my meeting because we worked a little late Monday!


Hope to see less of each other next time!

Tuesday W30

Just another day at work today. Boo Hiss. I had a small fuji apple for breakfast 1pt.

At work, I had a smart ones 4pts with a diet dr. pepper for lunch.

When I got home I had a nice surprise waiting for me. A tag saying a package had been attempted to be delivered that day. MY RUNNING SHOES! I left them in Memphis and my lovely little sister who takes care of our entire fam mailed them to me...along with some other goodies from her and my mom. I went to FedEx to pick up the loot.
Tennis shoes, face scrub, lip balm, new book, and some liquid eye liner which I now love!
Matt and I had leftovers for dinner. I had a chicken sandwich- 3 oz. chicken 3pts, tomato 0pts, lettuce 0pts, hoagie 3pts, provolone cheese 2pts, and honey mustard 1pts. I had a side of lemon garlic broccli 0pts, and a little wild rice 1pt. Delicious. I may just have this tomorrow too.


After dinner, I watched the season premier of Weeds. PS- that show is getting messed up. I'm considering bailing on it now (after 5 seasons) before I get too warped.

PS- did you miss Monday's post? You can catch up on it here. After 30 weeks watching what I eat and losing weight, I gave a little advice to those of us who might set unreasonable expectations on ourselves. Sound familiar?
