Friday!!

I love Fridays. This Friday was particularly significant, but regardless, I love Fridays. Did I say love? For the next 7 weeks, I will love Fridays even more because Saturday is my rest day - no gym. Although I love working out, really I do, I am SO GLAD that I don't have to get up at 6:00 tomorrow morning!

My weigh-in was 160.8 this morning, down from last week's 162.2, which was up from the previous week's 160.8. So... back to where I was 2 weeks ago. Tea mentioned in a comment looking at a monthly trend, which I will be observing this month. Nevertheless, next week the plan is to skip even the post-workout starchy carbs, and see how that affects my weight. My waist was down 1 inch though, which was great.

I have noticed something strange. Since I only allow myself to eat 'treats' on the weekend, I find that what I want is not as pressing. Even though I can eat what I want, I still try to be careful to only eat what I want. Not to just eat something because I can. And sometimes that means eating nothing at all out of the ordinary, but that's ok. I still don't want to waste the calories, and gain an extra pound (even if it will come off in a day or two) unnecessarily. Which, I know, is also a testament to how much I've grown when it comes to my food consumption. So, I'm off to enjoy the weekend, and an upcoming, long overdue, week off.
