Day 8

Today is weigh in day. 341.2. That's a loss of 4.6. I had an average of 2011 calories and did 170 min of exercise last week.

I know I should be happy, but I am sort of annoyed. On Saturday morning, I was down to 339.2. I stayed on plan Saturday and Sunday and then I turn up with a gain of 2 lb? I know...it's water, maybe my period is coming. I know I need to just keep doing what I am doing and the weight will come off. I know. I am annoyed none the less.

So here I am on day 8 - annoyed - but still focused and not even considering being off plan one little bit. I fully expect to be completely on plan for another 7 days (I am taking this 1 week at a time). The only speed bump is Halloween and I think I am just not even going to have any. If I have none then I can't go crazy with it. I haven't been having very much sugar except for my evening dessert, and it feels good not to crave that junk.

I must tell you about Sunday morning. Jacob got up and asked me to make a good breakfast, he was asking for ham & eggs. I knew he wouldn't care what I made, but I understood that he didn't want cereal again. We had a small pancake mix (add water & shake) in the cabinet, so I made that for Steve & Jacob and I had 1/2 a bagel & peanut butter. It really worked out because the mix was small enough that it really only made enough for Steve & Jake. I looked and 2 pancakes were only 220 calories, but by the time I put syrup and butter on them, that would be almost 380. And for 380 calories, I wasn't sure 2 small pancakes would keep me full. I think this made Steve really believe that I was serious this time, so that's good.

We carved pumpkins last night!!! Take a look!
