Okay, I'm going to admit something here, but you can't judge me. I'm human, I make mistakes.
I had McDonald's french fries this week. OMG.
Haha, I got off work last weekend, and I was starving. Everyone was at the volleyball game, and the last thing I wanted to do was go home and cook after working. So I decided to grab something to eat on the way home. McDonald's has those chicken breast sandwiches which aren't too bad if you cut the cheese and mayo, so I got into the drive thru to get one of those. As soon as I got to the ordering thing, I could smell french fries. (I think they cover the menu in the grease, or something.) I look at the prices, and for only a dollar and some change more, I could have french fries and a diet coke with my sandwich. So I say, what the hell, I'll only eat a couple and throw the rest out of the window. hahaha, not even close. As soon as I tasted those damn things, I devoured them. Didn't even touch the sandwich, just devoured a medium french fry before I even made it back into Pullman from Moscow. Like I said, I'm weak sometimes. As soon as I got in the parking lot, I felt guilty. Is that weird? That certain foods make me feel guilty? And then I was like, "okay, that wasn't that bad, I just won't tell anyone." Haha, that seemed to make it worse. I looked up the points when I got inside, and the sandwich I ordered was only 7 points, and the damn french fries were 8! Still not end of the world amount of points, but still pretty bad. And from there, I felt like I had cursed the rest of my week, because no matter what I did, I had those french fries looming over my head!
But besides all that, I got on the scale this morning, and boom! -1.1 pounds. I literally jumped off the wii fit board and danced a little bit.
So the moral of the stories is don't cheat kids, and no matter what anyone says, McDonald's french fries are freaking delicious, especially after not eating them for 6+ months.

ulcers. :(
-0.7 pounds.
Not much, but still going. Need to kick up.
Dieting has been hard this week as I'm on a couple of different antibiotics again. My doctor is pretty certain I have stomach ulcers. Yuck. So the pills I'm on require me to fill my stomach when I take them, and a lot of the time they still cause nausea even if I eat a full meal. So my eating schedule has been off, and filled with a lot of saltine crackers and ginger ale.
I'm hoping next week will be a little better.
Current weight: 195.5
Pounds to next goal: 20.5

I'm glad I didn't succomb to Smokey's! :)
Lost 1.1 pounds.
Down to 196.2 pounds.
Lost a total of 25 pounds! woot!
Stoked, because Justin and I headed home from Tuesday-Thursday, and there's something about going elsewhere that messes up my diet. That, and I forgot my points calculator. But it all worked out!
Progress is progress!
Pounds to next goal: 21.2 pounds.
I saw this, and it cracked me up:

50th post!
197.3 pounds.
Lost 0.4 pounds....haha. Anything is better than nothing, right?
As of last week, when I broke my 200 mark, I bumped down to the next point range, which is just 2 points less. What I'm realizing is I need to figured out how to cut my big meals by 1 or 2 points. This last week, I was going right through all my points nearly everyday, and obviously that's not a good habit to get into--when I hit 175, I'll have to drop 2 more points.
I'll just have to cut out some of the meal items that I was eating before that were relatively high. (French Dip, 9 points, for example). Just by making smarter choices, I can kick my weight loss back into high gear. Or even with the french dip example, use my own 1 point bread and not the hoogie rolls, and that would cut out 4-5 points, depending on which kind we get. Little things like that will make my counting easier. For lunch, I've been making a turkey and cheese sandwich, and that's only 3 points. :)
Butters is heading into town today, and he's taking us out to dinner at Applebee's. :) I need to do my research now, to find a point friendly dish from there. (They used to have WW points right on the menu, but then they got sued because they weren't accurate. hah, nice right?) They do have nutrition guides online, so I just need to scour them for the best entree.
See you next week!

GOAAAALLLLLL
YAY! Jumped on the scale this morning, and what did I see?
-3.1 pounds! Hot damn!
Which puts me at 197.8 pounds. YIPPEEE!
So not only did I drop below 200, but I dropped below my original 10% goal. I made that one a long time ago...it was to lose 10% of my starting weight, which would've been at 198.1, and I've surpassed that!
You guys, I'm so stoked. I worked hard this week. In water aerobics, and in not snack off of Justin's plate...lol. Or Stephen's when we eat lunch in the Cub. Yay!
Oh, and I do realize that this weigh-in in a day early. I'm going to start weighing in on Fridays because it works better for me. I have zero classes on Friday, and this way, the weekend will be the beginning of my weeks, and I feel that will better help me not cheat so much, because I always want to start my weeks out well. So Fridays from now on.
SOOOO good. :)
NEW GOAL: (Always need to have this laying around for reference) To get to 175 pounds. (Why?) Because 175 pounds is the weight I have to be to be considered "overweight" by the BMI and not "obese." And let me tell you, it will be a great day when I weigh myself and the wii fit doesn't tell me I'm obese. :)
