Back on Track

This morning I was pleasantly greeted with a scale number of 214.2lbs. The day before I was shocked with a scale reading on 214.6. Shocked only because the day before I didn't do very well. I did have some mini candy bars and a mini bag of chips and some runts. Some cravings got the better of me. I don't even know where they came from but my suspicions are that AF must be near. She seems out of whack though so I don't know when she'll show back up. Remember last month she was a week late!

Any ways, the day before I was pleasantly greeted with that scale reading of 214.6 where as the day before that it was reading 215.8, and again I caved in and ate some junk food again. So on Tuesday when the scale fairies blessed me with a weight loss of 1.2lbs I figured I shouldn't try sabotaging my gift loss with more cravings.

This evening before I head off to bed, I am still pleasantly happy with the scale reading of 214.6. I am only hoping that during the night I drop .8 lbs so I can finally be below 214! I'd love to see a 213.8. I'd really LOVE it!

I did really well today too. Great protein intake and complex carbs with my broccoli (yummy). Water, water, water!

Friday is shopping day and I can not wait because I need more Atkins Shakes, but we just can not afford more right now, and I only have one left. I might be able to get DH to agree to one more package of it, but I don't know yet.

Stress is creeping in though with all of the holiday preparations. So much to get, make, prepare, and clean in a seemingly small amount of time.

SIGH!

I just hope the stress doesn't kill my progress and make me hang onto the weight. I'm really, really, really hoping to be down to at least 204, as my goal for Thanksgiving Day. Of course my ULTIMATE goal would be to weight 199 on Thanksgiving Day. I'm still not sure that I can sqeak out a 15 pound loss in a short 22 days from now. I am even wary of squeaking out a 10lb loss in 22 days. I guess will power and time will only tell at this point. :)
