3.5 more gone

Cool. 3.5 more pounds lost for a grand total since getting back on track of 18lbs. YEAH!
I am now only 14 more pounds until I reach my first mini goal. I can so handle that.
Which is why I am not focusing on the 40 to my first milestone, or the 15 more than that which brings me back to where I felt the best with my weight.
In about a year I am hoping to be back down to my goal weight. So next year at this time, when I go swimming it will be in a completely different bathing suit. I can so do this. Just have to keep on track and focus on my goals. It is getting easier not to cheat which is always the best point to get to.
I have a cheat day tomorrow and might have one each Sunday (which will make dinner with the inlaws easier to plan as I don't have to worry about counting calories that day.)
Anyway, I am feeling better everyday and keeping focused so, I guess there isn't really much more I can ask for.

Okay so...

I didn't weigh in myself but the people at my health screening for work weighed me and I know what their scale said. It said I didn't lose that 3lbs I did last week, so it means my scale and theirs didn't jibe so technically I didn't weigh in right? Or I gained back what I thought I lost....
Nevermind, either way I am being good, even didn't use my calories on DQ last night like I really wanted to and instead I came home had a Skinny Cow(tm) truffle bar and a bunch of sunflower seeds.
This morning so far it has been apple, yogurt and granola, I still need to have something else before work as I am bringing a salad again and it is only about 400 calories and so if I am going to make it to my minimum for the day I need to add some somewhere.
Sunday is going to be a cheat day this week, my friend is coming over to watch movies and I am going to make caramel corn and french onion soup so there you go.
But, I will go right back to being good afterward so it is okay.
I need to start excercising though, it is really the big missing piece of the puzzle. Yes I walk a bunch for work but it isn't doing any muscle building. So I need to start on the crunches again...blech.

Not going to weigh in until Saturday this week

I am going to stick to my guns this week and not going to sabotage myself by checking my weight in between weigh in days. This morning I think I am going to have my yogurt, apple, granola yumminess for breakfast then a bagel with hummus before I leave for work and a big ol' salad at work, which probably won't use all of my calories so I will have to Fiber1 bar it or something. I think I need to get some of the premixed Slim Fast shakes to make up the extra calories I need when I need them. I just wonder about the iodine in them and how severe a reaction I will have to them.
We shall see.
I love my new hairdo which was met with a good reaction on FB so I know it isn't just that I have bad taste. So why are complete strangers mentioning it? Don't really know but I have decided to just see it as my being a crazy beautiful trendsetter and leave it at that.
Here's to self improvement!

17 to first mini goal

Okay, so I am only 17lbs away from my first mini goal, granted that is more than I have lost so far but only by 2lbs so...
I lose that and then it is like I never fell off the wagon, I will be right back where I was before I gave up on everything and let food try to cover my emotions.
I will be good for the rest of today, I will clean my apartment and I might get in a swim before dinner at my in-laws. Also, I am going to cut my hair and post a survey on FB about it because I am now self conscious about it because strangers keep complimenting it....we shall see...
Gotta go start cleaning now though.
