Three Dammit Salute

You have not heard from me, because I have heard nothing from my scale. I have been in a holding pattern, despite upping my workout routine. I think what I am going to have to do is go over my diet, and see how I can cut out something or partition my meals into more snacks. For example, I reduced my breakfast sandwich from two pieces of cheese to one. *sniff*

April 26th is the official weigh-in day. I am concerned that Bill's scale will be different from mine. [re: A FRICKIN' LIAR]. Also, I have discovered that my clothing weighs 5 lbs. I discovered this, because I almost went into shock the one night I didn't weigh myself in my underwear. (Boxer briefs. Hmmm... I wonder if tighty whities weigh less.)

SO, I am going to HAVE to strip down at the party.

Maybe if I eat wheat pasta with garlic powder.

THAT is wheat pasta. While it does not everything, it is, in my book, a complete and healthy meal all in itself. It really is great stuff.

More to come.

Nothing But Hope

Okay, it's been a week, and not much has happened. Last weekend was a fairly bad one. I maintained, but that's about it. Tonight, I am at my goal weight, so hopefully, I'll see a brand new low.

Don't Even Ask

No, I am not at my all time low. I was, and getting back to my three healthy snacks in addition to meals helped. In fact, I was breaking my breakfast down into two more snacks, torturing and agitating my metabolism like I had it at Guantanamo Bay. I was letting that sucker sleep for a minute last week, and I will get back to that tomorrow morning. After all, I still have two months and only a couple of nighttime pounds to go. (Already seen the numbers in AM, which we know isn't a final in the Always Hard On Yourself Olympics.)

What I really like about this diet is that I have always said that I ate what I ate and drank what I drank to get myself to this point, and if I really wanted to, I could reverse it. I said that time and time again, but there was that fear that the damage was permenant. This is due to all the stories you hear about all of these people that have tried an endless number of diets only to fail, or take some fat off only to put it back on again.

This past weekend, I had one night of drinking, a second night of some drinks, and two late night meals. On the other hand, I had all days of only healthy snacks without an actual meal, a three mile hike everyday, and a Sunday of healthy eating. Today, the scale is up 4 lbs. from the past several days, but so is the metabolism, and by tomorrow, I should start seeing good numbers again.
