Okay.. so the weekend wasn’t good but since Monday I’ve been faithful with absolutely no cheating. I weighed on monday.. 159ish. This morning was 156. I do realize that it’s all water weight, because that was the weight I put on and took off pretty fast, but it still is very encouraging.
To me that says that I have only about 10 more pounds to lose as far as getting back down to the weight I was before I gained. My period is right around the corner so I might still have some bloating going on.. actually my period is a bit late although I had some serious spotting last week after I worked out.. I think that affected my period this month. I figure I could get to at least 150 by my birthday party which is fine with me.
I’m going home this Thursday night since I don’t have math recitation on Friday. If I take my scale with me I’ll weigh and update or I might just leave it until Monday morning.. hmm I’ll most likely take it with me because it is encouraging to see the loss.. and I know the first week (although not technically my first) is the fastest loss.
I’m going to work out and do callanetics again next week or/and the week after, depending on how I feel with my period.. I suspect it will be lighter this month, so I could still do cardio. The workout should accelerate my loss and make sure I get to 150. Thanksgiving is next thursday which is the only reason why my loss would be slowed.. so I’ve GOT to make sure I follow protocol accordingly for that and get right back on track with working out and eat the next day..
Anyway, I’ll update later.

I noticed something.. unlike before.. these past three days have felt effortless. I haven’t even though about buying any food. In fact, I met up with a friend at Java and I didn’t even get coffee b/c I like my coffee with milk and today wans’t a milk day. There were also slices of pie that looked great but I didn’t care. Once I noticed that about me, I tested myself by thinking about food and I felt indifferent and didn’t give it a second thought. That’s excellent, that’s the way I felt when I was doing my diet in the summer.. sure I’d have a few cravings.. but not to the extent that has been causing me to fail. I don’t know what it is or why.. maybe it’s that I’ve been soo stressed and busy that I haven’t even been thinking about the diet nor have I about food. I just do the beads, breathing, and eat what I should eat.
It feels great.
I’m going home thursday and my mom has cottage cheese that I can have on friday which is a milk day.
I’m going to also buy some sugar-free candy from the local cvs so I can tide over any cravings..
Anyway, I feel good, stuff fits me comfortably again.. like I really feel in the 150’s again.. I’m happy. I feel encouraged.. I think another aspect might be that I’ve been doing well in my classes and feel like I can handle the stress. I haven’t given up.. that may have rubbed off on the diet or maybe it was that I felt bad and stressed about it all before and now I really am sure of myself so I became more organized mentally, enough to tackle staying on track.
Enough of this though.. I’m going to go relax.
