Just holding steady, danged broken scale!
I was proud of myself this weekend- I ate sensibly, stuck to the 'most important' part of my meal plan by waking up, having my hot cereal, fruit, coffee and water and waiting 2+ hours after for a snack, having lunch 2+ hours after that.
Only 'real' 'slip-ups' were that on saturday night I had a SIP of pepsi. No big deal. I was having trouble swallowing my food, and I couldn't reach my water for the baby in my arms, so I asked for a sip of boyfriend's pepsi which he was holding right next to me at the moment.
Disappointed that IT DIDN'T TASTE GOOD. Gat dangit! I want my favorite things to still taste good when I have them on occasion. Jeez! I was plannng a Pepsi this weekend, so now I'm not sure what I'll have. Cherry Pepsi maybe? *sigh* The sodas have just tasted bitter, acidic and been hard to swallow since I stopped drinking them regularly.
I had one more 'slip up'. I made my boyfriend breakfast yesterday, and he likes bacon and eggs. Well, I don't really eat eggs so I just had a few nibbles of egg white from his eggs, but I did eat two pieces of bacon 9alongside my breakfast of cow, coffee, fruit and water).
Otherwise I feel good about my week end! And that was the one that's usually hard, when I'm super bored and can't find anything to do but snack. Instead, I focused on some projects, and when I needed to have naughty foods I made them for everyone else instead.
Actually, last night I made burgers and I did not eat one. I'm not sure what I ate if anything. I had a piece of cake (boyfriend's birthday). Otherwise... i had a larabar for a midnight snack.
And now we get to talk about weight.
Parts of me feel like I can only go so long before I get discouraged if I don't lose weight, you know? My attitude is good and my spirits are high, but with the scale working again on wednesday I stepped on in all of my clothes- sweater, jeans, snow boots- and it said 179.change. I was excited- I was SOOOO overdressed that it HAD to go down when I got undressed! (I weigh naked before baths usually).
I undressed to get into the bath and stepped back on and it said... 178.6. W. T. F. All of the things I just took off did NOT weigh only a pound. The scale has to be broken, right? *sigh*
Oh- but then I fixed my glasses, and it said 173 .6!!! I felt like running around in circles : P Four more pounds to my next mini-goal and then I get to have my favorite dessert! Or maybe indian food? Or maybe my favorite dessert, then two more pounds and then indian food?! I'm really just focusing on getting under 170 right now- to me that is very important. I expect it'll take at least a month to get there, but I'm tryin'... !
