It's so funny that I can actually feel myself losing weight. Seriously. I knew before I ever got on the scale today that I had lost at least 2 pounds. Sure enough, I lost 3 pounds. That's right 3 pounds flushed away. I am so excited and I feel so good. Only seven more pounds and I get a treat. I still haven't decided what it is going to be but I think I have ruled out the alcohol. I'll just want more. Same with a sweet treat. I think it is going to be an ethnic dish. Italian, Chinese or Indian. I am only talking about one meal.
I made curry last night but it just wasn't the same without rice and naan. I probably should avoid Chinese because I will definitely want an egg roll AND fried dumplings. I feel like I am on such a roll I should be some what "good" when I cheat. No point in throwing all this hard work out the window. I don't want to gain 2 pounds from one meal.
This is really exciting! A good week like this makes me want to keep it up!
OMG!! 3LBS!!!! That's so GREAT!!! I know, the cheat almost doesn't seem worth it does it?? Maybe the cheat is JUST the dumplings. Or JUST the egg roll??
ReplyDeleteThis week I only lost 1.3 pounds but I'll take it. I was really hoping to get below the 180 mark but I am at 181.1. That's not too far to go. I should be able to get that off this week. I am excited because it has been a very long time since I have been below 180 and it's so close!!
ReplyDeleteI know I have got to stop letting "life" get in the way. I need to schedule the gym and plan to get up early and get it done so I don't have excuses. I have been sleeping in until 6:00 and then I drink my coffee while playing on the computer for an hour and then I think it is too late to go to the gym. But most of the time that is just an excuse. One that I fall for way too often. If I had gone to the gym even 2 more times this week I bet I would have taken that last pound off.
I know I can do this. It really isn't that hard.
you're lower than me! I was 185 this morning! But I was 187 yesterday. And I'm sitting here talking myself out of running. But I will go!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I should weigh less than you. You are at least 6 inches taller. I would have never guessed you weighed so much. You look marvelous!
