Weigh in day

Fall break has kicked my ass! I miss my routine, but I have to say that Nate has had a great time so far. On Tuesday, a friend of mine took her nephews plus Nate fishing for 8 hours! They had a blast, ate nothing but junk food, got burnt to a crisp, and caught ZERO fish! Die hard fishermen these boys to be able to be out there all day without even a nibble.

Wednesday, we picked up a friend of Nate's and went to Peter Piper Pizza. Then we took them bowling. We came home after that, and I made spaghetti for dinner with ice cream for dessert. The friend slept over, and I made bacon and pancakes for them for breakfast yesterday morning before we took the friend home. 24 hours of nothing but food that 8 year old boys would eat!

But guess what? I ate pizza at Peter Piper...I just ordered my personal pizza they way that I wanted it. I chose not to eat nachos at the bowling alley. The spaghetti was my homemade sauce and whole wheat pasta, and instead of ice cream I ate an apple with peanut butter. The bacon was the hardest to turn down, but I did and today reaped the benefits of choosing wisely this week....

5.5 pounds lost in 2 weeks!!!!!

Yep...I lost another 2 pounds this week. I was telling Jim just yesterday though that I really hate being a slave to that damn scale. If I never got on the scale, and just went with how my body feels...yep...I would still feel successful these 2 weeks. My body is so much happier not eating the junk and exercising consistently...sigh...it feels so good to feel good. It has been a long, long time :)
