The scale sucked me in yesterday...

I swear it was calling my name.  So I suck at not weighing but at least my weight was down.  I haven't been perfect, but at least I'm moving in the right direction.  Today will be perfect -- that's the plan.  I've already sworn Kelly to bugging me non stop today to make sure I don't have any doughnuts today.  Got an email today from one of the girls here: We brought in doughnuts - lots and lots.  Ummmm this whole week it's been cookies, cakes, cupcakes and now doughnuts?! Seriously people.  STOP.

To just reinforce to myself how bad doughnuts are, I look did a little google search.  Lots of reinforcing information on this site { http://www.livestrong.com/article/471877-health-effects-of-doughnuts/ } including this:

Weight Gain

Even a single doughnut a day can lead to significant weight gain over time. A Krispy Kreme raspberry-filled jam doughnut contains 300 calories, while a chocolate iced doughnut contains 350 calories. According to website Family Doctor, 3,500 calories equal 1 lb. If you add a doughnut a day to your regular diet and don’t exercise the calories off or cut down on calories elsewhere, you will gain about one extra pound every 10 days.

 So yesterday as tired as I was and wanting to make every excuse in the book, I sucked it up and worked out.  I felt good after. I need to remember that feeling.  I went downstairs after putting C to bed and did day two of the BBM workouts.  (Bikini Body Mommy -- check it out on youtube)  The proof:

Tonight I'm gonna try to get in Day 3.  I've also just logged my day in MFP.  Gonna stick to it.. Remind me of this about 1:00 p.m. today, mmkay? :) Had my HL shake, and tea and I'm full.  I made Dr. Oz's vegetable broth last night --- I'm going to have some of that with my lunch and some with dinner. I figure it can't hurt.  I looked at his 2 week rapid weight loss plan, but we have plans already for the weekends and it'd be tough to do 100% so I figure I'll just keep doing what I'm doing (only better) and just try adding the broth.  

Okay, time to work.  P.S. I need to really shrink myself because the jeans that fit me are getting worn and developing holes and not in the fashionable sense.....  lol  I have tons of jeans in the next size smaller, but even when I was 30 lbs lighter they didnt' fit, so I really need to figure something out!!

Boo to day 2....

Yesterday I was doing great - everything logged, was staying within my boundaries - but then I got invited to dinner at my sister-in-law's house!  (Thanks Andrea -- seriously, it was delicious!!!!)  I think she was getting me back for my apple fritter bread and chocolate with bacon over the weekend ;) (what?? I didn't mention that?? Oh......hence gaining weight.....) Anywhooooooo she brought out some bagel chips with these AH-MAZING spreads --- a feta spread and an olive spread......I ate too many. ::sigh:: 

Plus, as Kelly ratted me out on told you, I'm the queen of moscato.......I limited myself to one glass, and I seriously tried to find the Skinny Girl brand but they didn't have it.  I couldn't believe the carbs when I logged it.  So I've accepted Kelly's challenge and will be wine shopping tonight!!!  Dinner was baked chicken parm and it was fantastic and pretty healthy! I said NO (thanks) to noodles (sounds like a new weight loss campaign...) 

BUT, the scale did not forgive me. As much as I wanted to skip weighing, I knew I had to.  I'm notorious for falling onto the slippery slope (like a slide coated with crisco) when I skip weighing --- I end up making it an excuse to continue screwing myself over making poor choices....so I sucked it up and weighed.  Any of you have digital scales out there? I think most of them are, but does anyone else try to shift their weight as they're standing on the scale to get it to lock in at the number that's maybe 0.3 lbs lighter than the other.  I feel sometimes like I'm on a bad game show where it's just fluctuating between "win" and "lose" --- I guess that's stupid because the higher number is prob the more accurate...the scale isn't going to register lbs that aren't there, right?

Weigh In: 258.7 :(

Pop: NO!

Log in MFP (kdw6383): Yes!

Stay with current challenge: No :( 

Today my day is already logged in MFP.  I'm within calories and carbs - so hoping I can stick with that!  Coffee this morning and measured out my 2 tbsp of sugar free creamer.  I swear if I don't measure, I probably pour 1/4 cup in.....  

Today will be better.  Hoping the scale pats me on the back tomorrow!!
