Monday Weigh-In (Thursday edition)
Last week's weight — 125.5 pounds
This week's weight — 126.5 pounds
Hmm, a gain this week. That may have had something to do with all the snacking I did last week. And also the mini hamburgers and pizza and girl scout cookies on Sunday night (it was the Oscars! What ELSE could I have possibly eaten?) This week I've been trying harder at not eating anything that I don't record, but it's hard work. A constant vigil.

Monday Weigh-In (Wednesday edition)
Last week's weight — 125.5 pounds
This week's weight — 125.5 pounds
Ugh, well, at least I didn't gain anything this week, the way I've been eating. I know, I know, too much information, but that time of the month started in earnest on Friday and I just lost myself in a downward spiral of ice cream, chocolate and those notorious graham crackers. I seriously couldn't stop myself! But obviously I did manage to exert some semblance of self-control and that's why I held steady this week instead of gaining any more weight.
I did some research on the weight watchers website and discovered that now, at 125.5 pounds, I should only be eating 19 points a day instead of 20 if I want to continue to lose weight. Ack! I've been having so much trouble keeping myself confined to 20 points though! I swear, sometimes I just want to give in and eat the way I used to — without thinking about it. I'm tired of constantly checking the nutritional info and deciding whether eating a snack with 4 grams of fat is really worth it to me, or if I should just go eat some carrot sticks. I'm tired of carrot sticks!
I feel like the hardest part of this healthy eating endeavor should be behind me, that I should have been having these feelings 15 pounds ago. I'm so near to my goal that I feel like I ought to feel energized and ready to give that last ounce of effort to making it. I think though, that it's exactly BECAUSE I'm so near to my goal. After that, all I've got left to look forward to is a lifetime of watching what I eat. Decades of eating carrot sticks. Sigh.

Monday Weigh-In (Thursday edition)
Last week's weight — 129 pounds
This week's weight — 125.5 pounds
Well, it only took me a week to shed those extra pounds I picked up while on vacation, PLUS an extra half a pound. I've been holding steady all week at this weight too, which makes me very happy, especially since I've had the munchies like crazy. I think it's because that wonderful time of the month starts, uh, tomorrow. I blame the hormones. They make me desire ice cream and graham crackers above all else.
The husband and I have decided we should start jogging in the evening, as well as doing sit-ups, crunches and push-ups. Even though I am getting skiiiiiiiiinnny, I'm still all flabby. We did some crunches and butterfly kicks (moan) last night, but still haven't gotten around to jogging. We plan to start at just a mile and I know it will be easy, and more importantly good for me, but I still don't want to do it.
