Surprise!

I think I lost some weight. My clothes are big on me. Maybe I should weigh myself.

Pizza & Ice Cream!

Why is it that once a month my uterus demands Pizza & Ice Cream? Why can't it demand steamed broccoli? Back on plan tomorrow. One meal is okay, as long as you jump back on the wagon tomorrow.

Passed.

I passed on ice cream at The Brown Cow tonight. I passed on French Fries at dinner. I did however have a quarter of a beer & then gave Justin the rest to finish. My weight is the same. I am happy with that. Going to try for a few more pounds this week.

Blah!

I'm so sick of eating the same things all the time. I have to do it though or I won't get better. Strawberries, almond butter & fish. That's what I've eaten today so far. Maybe I will make an egg w/ the fish to mix it up!

Yay!

Back under 200 pounds! I stepped on the scale this morning and it said 198. SO happy to see a 1 and not a 2. It's one of the best feelings ever.

How I did it, on vacation.

I can't believe I lost weight on vacation. This NEVER happens for me!

I went to St. Louis with 5 other people for a weekend mini vacation. I knew it was going to take a lot of self discipline, but I was determined not to fail.

The most difficult thing on this vacation was staying away from alcohol. One of the things that I do w/ this group of people is drink. We go out to bars, drink lots of beer, have fun & laugh together. I knew that I could not drink any alcohol on this trip so I stuck to water & diet cokes. It's not fun when you're hanging out with a bunch of drunk people & you're not drunk. Luckily they were nice enough to bring beers back to the hotel, so at least I wasn't in a bar environment.

Eating was pretty easy. The first day we went to an Italian sandwich place. I really wanted a sandwich but instead I got a salad w/ salami & ham on it. At the BBQ place the next day I just didn't eat the bread & I got green beans and coleslaw as my side (I was so happy to see that the coleslaw was oil/vinegar based and not creamy). I skipped on all desserts besides for a bubbletea & a sugar free cheesecake at the casino. I even skipped on the appetizers that were deep fried. I also brought packets of almond butter with in my purse. When I would get hungry & couldn't just eat a bag of chips from the gas station, I would eat the almond butter like astronaut food. It did the job.

We also did a lot of things that required us to walk a lot. We went to the zoo and walked around all day & we also went to the St. Louis City Museum which is basically a giant jungle gym. We climbed through things, climbed up ladders & slid down slides. It was fun & I bet it burned some calories.

So, all in all the vacation was a success. I am currently 12 pounds down from a little over a week ago. It's going well.

Yay!

I kicked 8 pounds in the face this week. Go me!
