It’s all up to me

I hopped on the scale this morning to see if I had dipped below 255 and it said 251.0  WHAT????  I got on again to make sure and it said the same thing.  Late last week I was 257 and I pigged out all weekend.  Then I was banned from the treadmill so I was going to be happy with a 1-2 pound loss.  I have been especially strict w/my diet but I never would have expected 251.  I’m not going to consider it my “official” weight until tomorrow (we have my dad’s b-day party Saturday night so I’m going to weigh in a day early) but it has definitely kept me on track today.  Maybe I was exercising too much?  Is that possible????

Today has been a good day.  I went to the gym and did about 20 minutes of weights and 45 minutes on the bike.  Thanks for all of the suggestions about how to fight the numb-feet problem, I made it to 25 minutes until there was a problem today.  Another guy was on the regular bike so I just stayed put and finished out the 45 minutes.  While I was there I watched a show called “How to Look Good Naked” or something like that.  It’s with Carson Kressley, one of the guys from “Queer Eye”.  It was funny and made the time go quickly.

I’m also proud of myself b/c hubby and I went out to lunch today and I made good choices.  We went to Applebees b/c they have a WW menu and I knew I could find something under 400 calories, which is my usual lunch.  I had a grilled chicken breast, a few potatoes and steamed veggies.  Yummy!  It was only 330 calories so I took one of his boneless buffalo wings.  I wouldn’t think that 1 would be more than 70 calories, it was barely bigger than a quarter.

So the goal for tonight is to stick to plan for eating and drink a ton of water.  I don’t want any sodium retaining H20 for my weigh-in tomorrow.  I have been looking forward to 250 for so long that I can’t believe it’s almost here!!!  Yippee!

Progress toward workout goal:  20/250
