Sunday Stats

These pics are horrible, but I'm tired. My poor nugget is teething (and wearing me out), so this is all I could manage tonight. Seriously, these pics are super bad quality (and what the hell am I wearing?!?!) Sorry.

I will post this measurements from today and the difference from last week in parentheses

March 24, 2013

• weight = 199.8 lbs  (+0.2 lbs)
• waist = 37.0 in   (-1.50 in)
• chest = 43.25 in (-1.75 in)
• hips = 42.0 in  (-0.50 in)
• thigh = 26.5 in  (-0.50 in)
• bicep = 12.0 in  (-0.50 in)
• calf = 15.0 in  (-.025 in)

So as you can see I gained a tiny bit, but I lost inches everywhere. I am okay with this. My clothes are definetly fitting better. Pants are getting looser. YAY!

     I went grocery shopping today and with Easter approaching it was pretty difficult. I really wanted some chocolate and a diet soda. Real bad. REAL, REAL, BAD. Chocolate was EVERYWHERE. Voices in my head were telling me crazy things such as:

"You can have one diet soda and one chocolate candy bar. The hubs won't know, nobody will find out. Just this once indulge."

"Girrrrllll, you have been doing SO good. Just have a diet soda and a candy bar, quickly dispose of the wrappings/soda bottle, and it's like it never even happened"

"Just this once, and then I can workout extra hard tomorrow. Yea, that sounds good"

     I mean it was insane. These thougts kept coming and going. I had to get out of the grocery store. I ignored the voices and made a beeline for the checkout. I felt good. I felt like I won against those voices. Those voices that are always there and always try to drag you down. But I still wanted the chocolate, so i bought some sugar free/fat free chocolate pudding. It was good. I call that a reasonable compromise.

     Tonight I allowed myself a little flexibility with food. I had mayo on my sandwich at lunch time, and for dinner I made pizza. Pita pizza. 1 multigrain pita, pizza sauce, and low fat mozzarella. It was delicious!

I am still soda free!

Losing weight is hard. SO. VERY. HARD. I just really want this. I will stay strong.

Thanks for checking in!
