Wednesday's Weigh In!!!

I should be excited, for my scale told me this morning that I was 2 pounds lighter, but I am doubtful. However,I did weigh myself more than I should, that is, every other day or so and sometimes my scale told me I was up two pounds, then down one, then up one....Maybe I did lose the weight, I'm not really sure. What I DO know is that I stayed on my weight reducing diet and didn't overeat (or not that I am aware of).

The numbers tell me that I lost two more pounds, at least today. So if that is correct and I total all the weight lost so far, then I have lost 5 pounds altogether which means that I have earned my 5 pounds lost sticker.

Let's just hope I can keep it off. I do plan to continue exercising this week as time allows.

This next week however, I am going to continue to watch my sugar intake...only allowing myself the sugar in protein bars, coffee, and an occassional iced tea. And if you are wondering, there are goodies in my house like Little Debbie Snack Cakes, candy bars, and Quaker Oat granola bars, BUT I made sure to get myself my own little goodies...that is protein bars, that usually tames the beast! Those other goodies just aren't worth the calories that they use if you know what I mean. I always say that I can't "afford" them. No matter how good they taste, I think I want to be skinny more than I want to eat the wrong foods.

I am just totally disgusted with my body right now, physically that is. The only time I have ever weighed this much is when I am pregnant and this time I am not. Just the other day I looked in the mirror and thought I looked as if I were 3-4 months pregnant...the last thing I need is someone asking me if I am! I don't like what I see in the mirror and that is what pushes me on. I MUST lose this extra baggage! I just hope that my stubbornness to not accept my size and my determination to lose the weight will get me where I need to be!
