Current Weight: 138.2 lbs Lost this weekend: 1.2lbs
Total Lost: 22.0 lbs!
Wow. What an interesting weekend. I am so pleased to be able to come out of it saying I lost 1.2 lbs.
So Saturday morning I woke up to a refreshing 138.8lbs on the scale. I had officially reached the 138's, which has been a long-time goal for me. My day started off pretty regular, and anticipating the party I had to attend later, I cooked up some extra chicken breast, cut up peppers & celery to ensure I was prepared. I got to the party, and obviously I am exposed to my 'natural element' of bags of chips & friggin spinach dip. I surprisingly did quite well, every time I thought I was going to crack, I ran to the kitchen and crunched on some peppers. Needless to say, this only lasted so long. By 6 I needed to finish all the chicken breast I had but it just wasn't enough. And as you can predict to follow, will be my transgressions, cause there was certainly some.
I guess I should rewind, before I arrived at the party, the BF asked me to pick up some table clothes (he was already there), so I stopped into the dollar store. I have had some success eating mints and it not effecting my weight, so I took a stroll down the 'candy aisle' to pick up a bag of mints. Instead I left with fruit Mentos...the whole pack was gone in the 20 minutes drive from the dollar store to the party house (minus 3...one down the centre console & 2 others went to the passenger in the car). This was probably the start of my demise. After this, after dinner, and after wanting to break down and have every bag of chips I could lay my eyes on, I decided if I slowly nibble on some Whole Grain Tostitos what harm could it do. Well it was pretty sensible, I probably had 15-20 tostito's and they were so delicious.
Then the pizza arrived, despite the rolling of my eyes of the BF who thinks I am doing fantastic and supports me 100%, I took a small slice of pizza, removed the pep & cheese and ate the bread with light sauce...omg it was like heaven. It made me realize cheese doesn't even need to be on pizza for me to enjoy it, it was JUST as good. So after completing my slice of pizza, I reverted to my old ways, snuck inside and ate another tiny sliver, it was PERFECT. I absolutely will never be able to eat one slice of pizza, it just is not fathomable. So feeling pretty guilty about this, I vowed to be good for the rest of the evening. After consuming about another 15-20 chips..this time in whole bites instead of slow nibbles I was done.
Stepping on the scale Sunday morning, I was terrified. I didn't feel 'bad' or 'fatter' or even like I had been retaining water, but reading Brains blog and knowing after transgressions he gains like 1.5-3 lbs I was nervous. Stepping on, I came off at 139.4lbs. WHOA! what a relief. I had only gained .6lbs and I knew that it would come off over the course of the next 2 days. I had a perfect PP day on Sunday and look where I am today, low 138's. I am so excited. Hopefully this transgression doesn't lead to more, as I have found is the case once Brain started cheating a bit.
This feels great, and it reinforces even if you are weak 1 day, it will even out and just don't go out of a control. I could have made a lot of bad choices this weekend and I think had I left the toppings on the pizza, the number would have been slightly more astronomical.
This weekend, we also officially started planning my weight loss shopping weekend. September 25th we are heading to Buffalo to buy me some new clothes & stuff for our trip to the Dominican, we also scooped up tickets to a Maple Leafs/Sabres pre-season game. I am hoping by this time to be into the 120's, so I will be within 5lbs of my weight loss goal so buying my new clothes should be realistic!
