11th week; birthday weekend

So I am on my 11th week on my diet. It has not been an easy ride. I have lost a total of 12 lbs. However, on my bad weeks I did not lose any weight. I think that I could have lost more weight but I am happy that I stuck to my diet, incorporated exercise and tried to stick through it. This weekend is my birthday. I actually am nervous for my birthday. I have never done a diet on my birthday. Of course I want a piece of cake and I am going to have one, but I am not going to crazy. Well at least that is what I say now. The semester is coming to an end, and I have so much work to do. I did not attend the gym. But I did continue to follow my 1200-1500 based calorie diet and walked in the park for an hour every day. I am happy that I actually walked since I did not go to the gym. Something is better than nothing at this point.

Next week I am really going to crack down. There is only three weeks of the semester left and I want to lose at least 10 more pounds. Summer is coming and although my goal was to lose 30lbs by the end of semester; 20lbs would be just as fine. Summer will be here shortly, and I know I can lose 10 more pounds before my vacation in July.
