Yay Me!

As hard as it may be to believe, I don't think I have much to say. Of course, I say that now, but watch I have to eat my words. Anyway, I had a pretty good day today. As expected, my weight was up, but not as much as I expected - only 1.4 lbs. Not bad considering how much I ate yesterday! It's interesting, because losing weight last week motivates me to stick to my plan. I have definitely noticed with myself that lack of results can make me lax when it comes to my diet plan, whatever it may be. (And believe me, over the past 8 months, I have followed many a plan!) Well, I was good & on track today, barely even tempted, when out of nowhere, a mere hour after I had eaten, hunger struck. I started rummaging through the cabinets, peering into the depths of the fridge. I even poked around the freezer. But in the cabinet, wrapped up in some plastic wrap, were two homemade brownies. I love brownies. Well, in case you hadn't noticed, I like sweets, with an emphasis on chocolate. I picked them up, inspected them, and put them back! Yes, I actually resisted the temptation to eat homemade brownies. Please, don't hold the applause. I can hear them echo through cyberspace. Thank you, thank you very much. So, that was my big victory for the day.

I'm also excited that I have a couple of new blog friends, Lacy & Kristen. Hi ladies! There are a few things that have been priceless along this journey, which is by no means over. One of them has definitely been having a partner. Although our ups & downs have been different, and our weight loss plans are different, knowing that there is always someone with me in the fight has helped motivate me to keep going. When I don't notice changes in my body, someone else does. Thank God, because I look in the mirror and don't know what's what. Having someone to commiserate (did i spell that right) with, push you, give advice, etc., is SO crucial.

Well, I'm off to get myself together for tomorrow - the gym & some errands & work - an exciting day, I know. But just planning what I'm going to eat and when I'm going to eat it is a project in and of itself. I took my little lunch bag to my grandmother's house, and she called it my satchel. She's cute. So, I'm off to pack my satchel!
