?!?

i just chose a banana to go with my diet dr pepper when i was in that mini mart. That's like...epic.

breaking the pattern

I just updated my weight, and looking at it, I'm a little nervous about this week.  According to recent patterns, I will gain this week.  I am going to try to keep that in mind all week as a goal to break that pattern.  Unfortunately, Sunday is my birthday.  In the past, I always just ate whatever that day, but I can't do that AND have a loss this week.  So maybe I'll push my birthday food by a day to Monday post weigh in.  I'm not talking about going nutso food crazy here, just about giving myself permission to have have something I love that normally I wouldn't choose because it's not worth it.  Usually General Tso's chicken wins out. 

This having candy in my house is not really working out for me.  My roommate has a small son who is in our house half the week, but his dads house candy is in our house all the time.  I asked his dad to hide it, but he hasn't, so I think I'm going to have to revisit that request.  I'm exhausted from tech week and when I am exhausted, I tend to make incredibly bad choices.  Plus I think I'm going to take a vacation day friday, and the thought of being in the house all day with all that candy is a little horrifying. 
This week, goal: breaking the pattern, can I do it?  Stay tuned!

at last at last

yahoo! i lost a pound yesterday, pushing me just over the 35 lost mark! its wierd because i read and hear a lot of people who have lost weight talking about going down in clothing size, but i have not shrunk out of a single piece of clothing yet. However, my clothes def fit me better, i must have been bursting at the seams before. How retroactively embarrassing.
