Tomorrow is the big test day

I go early in the morning tomorrow to take the official state real estate exam. Wish me luck! I think it should go smoothly and I am not too worried about it. I am not even sure what exactly my next step will be once I have passed the exam. I'll probably call the broker I want to work with and ask them what the next steps really are! I also asked a colleague from work if she is available to help with my web design (to which she said most likely), yippee.

On another topic, I had a mediocre eating day yesterday, blah! Went out to lunch with a client, but I ordered a grilled chicken salad with dressing on the side. It was a good choice but probably around 500 calories, whereas my normal lunch would have been less. And then I had Thai for dinner, so my calories and fat yesterday were too high for my liking. Around 1450.

Honestly, that just comes back to a control issue too. Since I am having success at this weight loss thing, it is because I have controlled everything that enters my mouth. I don't like to go out to eat or go to parties, happy hours, etc. since I lose some of that control. Now, I know what you are thinking. And I don't plan to spend my life worried about going out, having fun, seeing people, drinking, etc. But until I get closer to my goals, I don't want to jeopardize my hard work.

I would compare my eating habits to Kimba's workout philosophy. I couldn't handle her workouts and most people couldn't handle my regimented eating plan. Though, I would love to have the energy to do 2 workouts per day. I can only manage about 5 workouts a week; which I know is good. But the weight just can't come off fast enough for me.
