Got To Get Over My Weekend Mentality!

Today's Weight- 212.5 (Up 0.4)

Actually, being up only four-tenths of a pound is not too bad, considering the weekend I had!!  McDonald's cheeseburger, fries, Coke, cake yesterday at Addy's party!  Tin Drum, Chick-Fil-A Fries!!  Ugh!  I've got to stop this take-the-weekend-off mindset I've developed over the years that I've tried losing weight.  

However, I am thankful that I held as much ground as I did - still down 15 pounds!  But just think of how much more I might be down if I hadn't been bad!!

Down A Little More...!

Today's Weight - 212.1 (Down 0.4)

Nice to be down a little more!  I was afraid that my late-night snack attack might have cost me.  I had a cereal bar and some mandarin oranges (and, of course, coffee!) for breakfast, a Chick-Fil-A chargrilled chicken sandwich for lunch, and a Lean Cuisine french bread pepperoni pizza for supper, and that wasn't until about 8pm!  Then about 10:30 or 11, I was HUNGRY!!  I should have gone to bed, but instead, I made a bag of "healthy" popcorn, and had a glass of sweet tea!!!  At least I resisted the urge to go to McDonalds and get a Big Mac, fries, and a coke!!  

 

Miraculous!

Today's Weight - 212.5 (Down 0.2)

After eating dinner out at Mambo Jambo!!!, it is nothing short of miraculous that my weight is not only not up two or three pounds, but it's actually down!!!!  So now I have lost 15 pounds!  I did fine yesterday, until dinner (except that I didn't exercise), and I guess at dinner, I did better than I used to do.  I drank only water (I really wanted a mojito!!), and had fish with a lemon-caper sauce - and a couple of small pieces of fried plantain.  Oh, and garlic bread before dinner and tastes of everyone else's food!!  Not great, but it certainly could have been worse.  I was so full!!!  It was delicious!!  And I'm not any heavier today!!! 

YAY!!!!!!

Today's Weight - 212.7 (Down 2.3)

OOOHHHH  YEEEAAAHHH!  I did feel better yesterday after getting out and getting some exercise!!!  And I ate dinner before six!  And I lost 2.3 pounds!!!!!!!  YAY!!!!  My new low!!  IT FEELS SO GOOD!!!!

Kinda Bored....

Today's Weight - 215.0 (No Change)

Just starting to feel a little apathetic....  I need to get out and exercise!  I know I will feel better then!  I already feel better just thinking about it!  Just now eating breakfast (at 11:09am), although I had a cup of coffee before taking the kids to school.  Breakfast (which will also serve as lunch) is a deli ham sandwich on whole-grain bread, with dill pickle and a tsp of olive oil mayonnaise, with ice water and another cup of coffee.  I will plan to snack on some fruit if I get hungry in the afternoon, and then have another sandwich or a meal bar for early dinner (no later than 5:45pm), and fix frozen pizza for the kids!  If I exercise, that should end up being a good day!  :)

Wahoo!!!

Today's Weight - 215.0 (Down 2.2)

Yay!!  A new low, and only 7.5 pounds to go til I reach my next ten and get my haircut!!  It feels so good!!  Yesterday, I had a "diet" bar for breakfast, with coffee and water, and for lunch I met Joy and kids at Genghis Grill for her birthday!!  That was aLOT of food, and although I ate only a little more than half my bowl I was very full.  In fact it did me for the rest of the day!  I had a diet coke with lunch, and water the remainder of the day.  No exercise yesterday;  got to fit that in today.  Yay!  What a great start to my week!!

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!

Today's Weight - 217.2 (No Change)

Incredible!!!  I cannot believe I didn't gain a TON of weight over this weekend!!!  I was so bad.  So I am very encouraged about this week, even if the weather does return to winter.  Spring is still only a few weeks away, and I'm not nearly as "backslidden" as I feared I would be.  I was prepared to be back up over 220.  I ate a ton of potato chips with dip, a piece of strawberry cake, the remains of the fudge, Friday's!  two rum & cokes and half a beer, cokes, tea, Longhorn!!!!!  Now you see why it's so unbelievable that I stayed the same weight!!

So today, back to work!  And I'm glad to be where I am!
