Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - day 21 - from LJ
Haven't had the energy to read a lot of LJ stuff. My PMS is seriously affecting my self confidence. Not in how I look, but about things talking too much. So I'm trying to make as few mistakes as possible for me to be embarrassed about later. Ah, the monthly joy of it.
Weigh-in today. I weighed in at 236.0! Hott. That's a total loss of 14 pounds. 11 pounds left until I hit my 10% goal. I'm seriously pleased, especially since the last three mornings, I've had ice cream cones for breakfast.
L lost .6 pounds. She's taking it better than I expected... I'm proud of her.
I know 14 pounds isn't much when you weighed 250 to start, but I keep expecting people to say something to me and getting kind of sad when they don't. I saw two of my closest friends last night, who I hadn't seen since December because of our school schedules and I wanted so badly for them to comment. The thing is, the last time they saw me, I weighed the same as I do now, so of course they didn't notice anything! It's ok. All in due time.
Oh crap... I meant to take a picture of my feet and the scale during my weigh-in for a new icon, and I forgot. And I'm trying to limit my on-scale-time to once a day so that I don't go insane. Perhaps tomorrow, if things are the same. Which they won't be.
I've been really pleased with our meals lately. I'm getting more protein in than I have in years... I honestly don't remember the last time I had a meat dish 5 or 6 times a week... And I love stir-fry, and the jerk chicken is good, and the beef chipotle fajitas are terrific, and grilled shrimp is so yummy... Yum. I also found a 1 point salad dressing (tamari sesame) that I love. And the fact that WW makes sundae cones -- for 2 points, no less -- has me very excited. Food is back to making me happy, instead of making me feel worn out and weighed down. I like feeling full in a light and loose way instead of in a way where I can't move for several hours.
L just said it's dinner time. So that's all.
