i broke 130 today...

So, today was the day for my mid-week weigh-in. Imagine my surprise when I saw 129.5. I was surprised simply because I feel like I've been eating very badly this week. I don't think I've had enough vegetables and a little too much starch. But, I guess somehow it worked for me.

Now I'm 2.5 lbs away from my goal. I'm really excited but I'm also trying to decide whether I should try to get down to an even 125. I know that I'm slimmer because all of my clothes are starting to hang on me...(This weekend I'm buying a new belt)...But, I'm not in the shape that I was hoping for. Once I get my goal weight I'm going to sign up for a yoga class. It's something that I've wanted to do for a while and I think it would be the perfect reward for the effort I'm putting in.

Anyway, I'm faced with another challenging weekend. I never really celebrated my BF's birthday (which was the 11th) because his mom was in town. So, we're going to make up for that this week. Also, I have a friend coming in town for the weekend. I think I will be alright when it comes to food choices, but I know I'm going to have way too many drinks.

still shrinking...

I know it's been a while since I've checked in. I haven't ditched the SBD. I'm stuck in a bit of a plateau so have been trying not to harp on it. I know it will take a while to get the last few pounds off, so I'm going to be patient and just stick to the plan. Today I'm at 131 lbs and I feel great. I have planned out all of my dinners this week. That way my BF can help with the cooking. And, I have plenty of snacks and fruit to take to work.

This weekend, I went out for sushi. I know I'm not supposed to but I had the sushi rice, it was well worth it! Saturday we had Thai...I had a couple of beers. Also worth it. What can I say? I'm not perfect. Hey, what's the point of being on a diet and changing my daily eating habits if I can't have a "treat" every now and again?

The one cool thing that I've noticed is that I don't get as bloated around this time of the month. I used to get on the scale and see it jump up close to 5 lbs, but not this month. I think the scale may have climbed 1.0-1.5 lbs this time around.

10 down, 4.5 to go...

It's been a long 2 months, but it's been well worth the effort. This morning I made it to the 10lb mark. That's right, 131.5! I think that's about what I weighed at the end of my freshman year of college. I even went out for lunch and dinner yesterday!

Well, I've heard that the last 5 pounds is always the hardest, so I'm prepared for it to take up to another month to loose the last few pounds. Also, since I'm switching back to phase 2 rather slowly, I wouldn't be surprised if I gain a bit back over the next week.

back on track...

My week back on phase one has paid off. This morning's weigh-in was 132.5! So, I'm back to phase 2. This morning I got to have a smoothie for breakfast, which was a welcome break from eggs. I enjoy having eggs for breakfast, but they take a little more effort to prepare.

This weekend, I also went to the Gap hoping to find a pair of pants to wear to work. I know that I'm in between sizes but I desperately need more pants that don't look too casual at the office. So, I tried on these on in a size 6...


And, guess what? They were a little too loose. I liked them, but the way that they fit left too much space at the waist. I was reluctant to try the size 4 in case they were much too small. I didn't buy them but I'm thinking of going back next weekend (maybe I'll try the size 4 on then).
