I just don't know what to say.

I approached the scale this morning with more than a little trepidation. Last Thursday I went to the movies with a friend from work and had a small popcorn. I decided that since this was a no no I would make Thursday a cheat day and i went out for chicken strips and fries with chicken quesadillas. It was all fried and very bad. When Saturday came along my husband wanted to drink and so I stayed up drinking fuzzy navels til the wee hours of the morning. While drinking I ate loaded potato skins and toquitos. Again, fried and bad. The next morning I realized my niece had a pancake breakfast fundraiser which I had promised to attend. All this added up to the second bad week in a row and I was prepared for yet more weight gain. When I got on the scale I immediately stepped off and tried again. Sure enough I had lost 3.8lbs. Shocked, you bet. I don't know what to do with this. I'm having trouble processing how this could be. I don't trust myself with these cheat days and I know it will come back to haunt me soon. I have decided that this week needs to be a strictly healthy eating week. I also did something that I'm almost ashamed of. I say almost because I did it so I have to own it. I set up a fundraising site to raise money for my trip reward for my final milestone. I don't know if it will raise any money but it's worth a shot.

It happens.....

I gained 2lbs. Truth be told that is less than i expected. I had 4 days of eating out and enjoying my birthday week. Now it's over and time to get back to work. I did buy my new outfit and it was another size down so that made me happy. I hate the feeling after eating bad so much. I feel so run down but I'm bouncing back. I think I can take that 2lbs off by next week. :)

Happy Birthday to me!

Today is my 42nd birthday! My first and best gift is that I lost 3.2lbs this week. I have now reached my fourth milestone. So now I get to go shop for a new outfit! I read up online this week about the benefits of a cheat day. This is a concept I had been avoiding since I don't feel I can be trusted. Since on the weeks I have not cheated I gained and I seemed to lose on the weeks I did have a day where I went astray, I decided to experiment and I drank and ate badly on Saturday night. Sure enough it worked. Go figure. I'm sure the upcoming week will be a set back given my birthday and valentine's day. I will be stretching my bad behavior from today through the weekend. That however is next week and today is a day to celebrate a job well done! :)

Seriously? Whatever!

Ok, so for the last two weeks I had days where I drank and ate bad things and I lost 2lbs. each week. This week I am an angel and don't eat or drink anything bad and now I have gained 8oz. ????? WTH I get that the body changes during the month and there are things that will throw me off but this is just nuts. Next week is my birthday and of course Valentine's day so I will have at least 3 days of eating what I shouldn't. So I should expect a 5lb. loss next week. o.O   It's all just so weird. Until Next week....

In the hunt.....

Wednesday's weigh in left me another 2lbs lighter. This was a happy surprise seeing as I was out drinking far too much on Saturday and eat my body weight at Denny's. Weird that the one week I didn't do anything bad this month is the week that I gained a pound. Now that I have passed the 80lb. mark my son has declared that I am now in the hunt for the 100lbs mark. Makes me smile to think that is only 18lbs away.
