Friday Weigh in: June 17th

Yesterday  I was bad. Not all day, but I've been getting ready for  this vacation and just got really busy and distracted. Breakfast and lunch were normal, but I ate a candy bar at the laundry mat and that kind of threw things helter skelter.

Then yesterday evening we met with a realtor to make an offer on a house! That's right, we've started the process of buying a house and boy am I confused! There are so many details and fine print! After the meeting we just picked up a piza on the way home. It was late when we finished there, and after we got the girls from the babysitters and drove home I didn't feel like doing anything. So I just ate pizza with everyone else. And of course to top off my cheat I threw some chips in with it and I think it messed up my weigh in. I waited a full 12 hours after my last meal, just to be sure everything was out of my system. Still, I think I retained some water from all the sodium I took in.

So today I was scared getting on the scale. I hate that feeling. The feeling of expecting disappointment. I like to get on that scale expecting victory, knowing that whatever I see I did my best. But today I expected to be disappointed.

In addition to dissapointment in myself,  I'm really bloated and my tummy is gurgling. It's amazing how we get used to feeling that way when we eat like that every day. It takes a few weeks of going without it to make us realize how truly uncomfortable we are most of the time!

So, I stepped on the scale expecting disappointment. But despite my pizza/chip indulgence I lost 2 pounds. However, I did not make it out of the 260's yet, which is what I really wanted this week. The sad thing is, if I had stayed diligent last night, I probably would have.

This weekend: Anniversary trip! Woohoo! My husband and I are going away for the weekend. To a cabin in the mountains! I'm so excited, but I have to tell you I will not be worrying about liquid meals. We're taking our own food so I won't be tempted to overindulge in restaurant food, but I'm not doing the liquid detox while we're away.

When I get back: Jon has something up his sleeve. I don't know what, but he's been hinting at something big. If I can, I'll share the details when I get back! *wink.
