31 MORE Days!

Alright, I’ve been pretty busy the past few days. I have been keeping track of what I ate, just not posting it. The past two days I did stay within my points & have been playing volleyball the past two nights as well. So, b/c I’ve been busy I’ve got some catching up to do with things I’ve wanted to tell you all!! (hence the long wordy title!)

Let’s start with the confession- you may notice (or probably not…) that my flex points have almost disappeared even though I just told you that I’ve stayed within my points. That is because if you look back at Saturday night’s menu, you will see a planned Ben & Jerry’s splurge. I PLANNED to eat 1/2 of the pint, but I didn’t…. I should have scooped 1/2 into my coffee mug & shoved the rest into the very back of the freezer, but it was too hard to scoop & so I just ate it out of the carton instead- all of it. Ice cream is my weakness- always has been, always will be. I know I can’t just cold turkey give it up. I have been able to cut back on it in a HUGE way- like 3-4 nights a week or more to “real” ice cream once or twice a month. If it’s not “real” I’ll have the 1pt Breyers (made w/ splenda) or a McD’s cone (ice milk).

But, that brings me to the LOW side…. and the main reason why I love the WW program so much. Because I can have an oops or plan to “splurge” & still lose weight!! This morning when I got on the scale it said 144!!! The low side of the 140’s!! Of course it’s unofficial until Friday, but I’m so excited!! I think I’m going to make another ticker to count off the last 10 lbs!!

Which brings me to my lies! I think that I must have lied about my weight in high school. I have been going through my closet & weeding out clothes left & right. So, today I decided to try on the things that I know were from high school & the other smallest things I could find in my closet. THEY ALL FIT!! Not just that I could get them on, but wouldn’t wear them out of the house, they really fit- like they should!! That makes me think that there was NO WAY I weighed 135 in HS. I must have been like 138 or 139 and just rounded down to keep myself in the 130’s. So, I am still going to try to lose the last 10 or so lbs, but I think it will put me lower than I ever was…. we’ll see. I think it would bother me to change my goal to where I’m at- kind of anti-climactic & I’d feel like I’d not stuck with it & gave up or something ridiculous like that. I don’t know. I think I’ll just go for it & if it’s too skinny or too hard to maintain, then I’ll just come back up to 140. Did that make sense?? I hope so… I’ll keep you updated & my hubby promised to take some pictures for me tonight, so I’ll get them up really soon too!! D

Here’s the menu so far today- will be back to finish out the day!
