Most successful week

Weight: 202 (down 6). Total lost=8, 42 to go.

 

Well, despite a couple of bumps in the road, my first week of really sticking to my plan ended with a very satisfactory weigh-in!  Woohoo!!!  I know that this is the ONLY time I'll see a loss like this, but it is very motivating!  Especially since I struggled so much over the weekend.  Get this - I turned down the best burger in town on Saturday, ice cream sundaes Saturday night, my favorite pasta salad Saturday night, chocolate chip cookies last night, pancakes with syrup yesterday morning, and waffles Saturday morning.  All of the above were eaten by my family in front of me while I sat and talked with them, without too much of a struggle.  That in and of itself is a big success!  As I get a little more comfortable with my program, I'll be able to sneak in a few small treats (I did actually have one very small cookie), but right now it's just best if I abstain until I feel I can control myself.

 

So, as my first 5 pound reward, I've earned my first day off work (to be taken sometime this week, day TBA), and the right to go purchase a couple of new tank tops for hot weather walking.

 

OK - onto the job/interview front.  I talked to my friend last night - the one whose old job it is, and the one who recommended I apply.  She said, and I quote, "I probably shouldn't say this, but I will. I do know that they were very impressed with your resume!"  Ack!  This was just before bed last night.  You think I slept last night?  NOT!  I shut off my 5am alarm when I was still awake at 3am.  I did finally fall asleep sometime shortly after 3, but there was no way I was getting on the treadmill at 5!  Anyway, I'll be taking Benadryl or Tylenol PM before every night this week I can tell.  I am very nervous/excited about this interview on Friday.  I SO hope it goes well!  The more I think about it, the more I want it!!!

 

Anyway, that about sums up my mood this morning. Tired, happy, nervous, anxious.  I have a bunch of this I need to get done today, so I'll wrap this up.  Thanks for all the support everyone!
