271.4!!<a href="http://www.fatsecret.com/member/BrandyRelaxing"><img src="http://www.fatsecret.com/ticker/BrandyRelaxing.gif"></img></a>
So it's not the 269 I was shooting for to be before my vacation, but I realized that a while ago, I was just really hoping by some miracle it would work. But for me, there are no miracles, just hard work! I think all of you will say that same!
I do have to stop the "cheater weigh-ins" because yesterday I saw 270.8, and was super excited, and today I'm up. I'm sure it's just "transitional weight", but that's okay.
I found my body fat scale in the basement, and used it on August 7th, and then again today. So according to that scale, I've lost 3 pounds of fat, and according to my other scale (which I deem my weight only scale and the
official authority on how much I've lost), I've lost 4.8 pounds in the last 3 weeks. So I consider that a win! I'd love it all to be fat, but I'm just happy that the majority is fat!
So today is my day to work on my assignment that is due while I'm away on vacation, buy new bras (because I can put my whole hand in my bra and still have lots of room!), and any other little loose ends I need to do before vacation.
Does anyone have any tips on how to eat reasonably while on vacation? I don't intend on restricting myself a lot, but I do need to watch portion sizes, and often that's my downfall! The restaurant brings a big plate and I have that "there are starving kids in Africa" mentality, and have to eat it all!
Long and short of it... It was an awesome weigh in and if I can come back next week at the same weight, I'll be a REALLY happy girl!
My other thought for the week is to remember "
You have to decide what you want to do, lose weight or stay fat? If you choose to do nothing, you are choosing to stay fat."
