Epic Scale Victory!

I did absolutely nothing yesterday! Woke up at 12:30, lounged on the couch until DBF came home from work at 3:00.

I did opt for a Smart Ones meal instead of Burger King. So, that was good at least.

Last night, DBF and I decided to go out tonight for dinner and shopping. A daring move on my part, considering WI is today. We stopped at Five Guys Burgers and Fries for a bite. I had never been there before so I figured, how bad can it be?

We ordered burgers with regular fries. I ordered the little bacon cheeseburger and regular (smaller) fries. We both ended up getting large fries by accident, so I only ate half pf my fries. How bad could it be?

I saw they had a website, so I just checked it for the NI of the food...

Needless to say, the meal put me over for the week by 6.5.

I was beyond devastated. I tried to hard this week to stay OP and I mentally beat myself up pretty bad about it.

WI was the last thing I wanted to do this morning. I kept hitting the snooze button - not because I was tired but because I didn't want to face that dreaded scale. As I activated the scale, I did a mini-confessional - 'fessing up for all my sins of the past week. Damn Catholic guilt - it bleeds over into other areas of life.

SURPRISE! I saw a loss of 2.4 lbs. I jumped back on to double check - was it for real?! Sure was!!

Last week, hit the 10 lb mark - this week, busted out of the 260s. I feel like I'm on top of the world!!!

12.4 lbs in 9 weeks... I know this time its for real. There's no stopping me now!

Back into the Routine

For the time being, I've stopped taking the muscle relaxers. This is day 7, and I'm feeling pretty good!

I've started working out again. UGH. Even just taking a few weeks off makes a world of difference. I was feeling the burn early on, cursing myself for my laziness.

The new blender has practically paid for itself by now! Every morning this week, I have made myself my "Homemade Frappucino" with a tsp of Benefiber. It keeps me full all morning! At night, I've made myself fruit smoothies with Ocean Spray Diet cran-grape. YUMMY!

Overall, this week has been relatively OP. Superbowl Sunday wasn't the normal gorgefest, and I made sure I allocated points for our night at the theater. My co-workers have abandoned the fitness challenge, which makes the tiny room we share difficult when they're bringing in Chick-fil-a and Dunkin' Donuts.

I'm also losing the commraderie with my friends back home. After 5 or so weeks, they've resorted to ridiculous detox programs for weight loss. What happened to getting healthy?

I can't believe Sunday is my 9th weigh-in. Where did the time go? I just have to keep plugging along. I would LOVE to get out of the 260s! OH and I need to buy those shoes!!

Keep reaching for those dreams! We can do this!!

Finally! Another Goal Reached!

I've reached the 10lb mark - I am so happy! I can finally get those shoes! WOOT WOOT!
