Weigh in day tomorrow

I will admit I didn't weigh in last week officially but I had gained 2lbs then at midweek this week I was down 4 from the last time I posted weigh in so technically that was a 6lb loss, not surprising when you aren't eating too much but still; we shall have to see what tomorrow's weigh in reveals. Dum Dum Dum Dum (should sound ominous)

New idea for Jenny Craig

The stress can't sleep diet. (throw in having bought my first pack of cigarettes in 3 years, and you can watch the pounds melt away.)
Not really the most uplifting post but certainly honest.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life, you can do this. Not hungry today though so the minimum may have to be reached with fairly empty calories and coffee. (red cream soda anyone?)

new Pic???

I am trying to decide if I should update the photo, it is over a year old now and I have lost a little since then. I think I will wait until I reach the first of my "mini" goals, then take it. I now only have 14lbs to go to that point altough who knows after this week.
Sunday is going to be a cheat day again...state fair caliber cheat day. Elephant ears and fried Oreo cheat day...fair fries cheat day...oh yeah there will be much to attone for next week.
I have been good so far this week though keeping well under the max allotted calories each day. I don't feel like I am cheating myself, except when I want cheesey garlic bread and chicken parmasean....sigh...okay maybe I feel a little bit of self denial but come on in a life of excess a little bit of self denial is way too little self denial.
Gotta go get some breakfast. I think fat free cottage cheese and pineapple, then a bagel with hummus for lunch and my usual salad for dinner. I am loving salad!

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.
