I found the courage to weigh in this morning after hubs nagged me about it last night. I was delightfully stunned to find I lost weight. I'm down 14 pounds from my beginning weight. Now I'm wondering if all that bad stuff I ate last week actually served to jump-start my metabolism or something. Whatever the reason, I'm happy about losing a couple more pounds. I was feeling very down and discouraged, especially after I found some old charts from previous attempts to lose weight. I'm tossing those...To coin a phrase

I fell off the wagon last week.Not with alcohol (I don't drink) but with food.
There was the taco plate on Monday night because I just didn't feel like cooking,
the cheeseburger and fries on Tuesday night because I really wanted one,
and the half a (medium) pepperoni pizza on Thursday night that was triggered by an empty pizza box I kept passing every time I left my office.
And no exercise since last Tuesday.
Today I am back on track. However, I am seriously afraid...
Sad today

I gained weight again. I know why and it's really all on me. I don't fully undersatnd, but there seems to be a pattern in that everytime I lose weight I become more lax and then gain or just don't lose any. Then when I gain, I get upset/sad/angry and eventually dig in and start over again.Maybe if I reward myself for losing weight it'll keep me from overindulging and undoing my progress. Hmm. I will have to try that next time and see if helps. In the interim I have to plan for the next ...

Yesterday afternoon and evening I was feeling very irritated and I wanted to eat - everything I've been avoiding. I settled for a fun-size bag of peanut M&Ms. They really weren't that good. I also discovered it's difficult to find out tha calories in such a small bag - roughly 8 M&Ms. I did find it on the M&Ms website. Anyway, they didn't help, not even for a little while.BUT - a nice walk with my husband and a nice conversation over dinner worked wonders. We walked for about...
And another one bites the dust!

Weighed in this morning and I lost another pound! So happy for that. I could have done better, but that's okay. I knew when I settled in to read this past weekend that I would pay. And when I went to Kaylee's party and ate those sweets I knew that I would pay. At least the cost wasn't gaining weight.Now I'm feeling highly motivated to dig in and lose some more. I'm going to have to stay serious if I want to reach my interim goal by my birthday - just 12 weeks and 5 days to lose 27 pounds...
