Thanksgiving couldn't take me down!

I know I said I would weigh yesterday, but I left Pullman without my wii fit, and we don't have a scale at my house.  So I had to wait until this morning.

But still, GREAT NEWS!
-1.8 pounds.

I did so good.  I didn't deprive myself (except for easy cheese, stayed AWAYYY from the easy cheese!), and just portioned out a half a cup or a cup of everything.  (I asked Ellen not to put butter in a little bowl of mashed potatoes, so I could still have mashed potatoes without worrying about how much butter was in them).  I had a piece of pumpkin, and just didn't eat the crust.  I was really proud of my self-control.  I did eat a lot of turkey, but that's alright, right?  :)

Have to work a long time today.  2-11. Crazy shoppers.  They definitely destroyed the store yesterday.  But I do get a lot of exercise at work...running up and down, get this shirt, get that shirt, fold those jeans.  :)  Its good for me.

Current weight: 187.8 lbs
Weight to lose in order to be 'overweight' and not 'obese': 12.8 lbs.

*shrugs*

-0.2 pounds.

I'm not sure what happened this week.  Well, I ate 2 cookies on Tuesday.  Maybe it was that.  hahah.
I went to water aerobics both days, and worked my ass off.  Maybe muscle building?  I'm honestly have no idea.

I'm worried about Thanksgiving, I'm not going to lie.  Hungry Girl just sent out her survival guide, and besides making all your own food, you just have to pick and choose, and have will power.  lol.  I think I am going to bake something "better" for desert though, so at least I have that.  We'll see.  I'm just excited for the holidays, and family.  I miss my family a lot.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
And since I usually weigh in on Friday, my next weigh in will be the day after Thanksgiving.  I decided that I'm still going to do it..that skipping a week because it has the potential to be bad is cheating.  And maybe I'll surprise myself!  We'll see.

Body pic

I know people have been requesting this, especially my long lost friends who don't live in P-Town, so here it is.  Probably the first picture I've taken with my whole body in the picture since...well forever.  And I apoligize in advance, but I'm not all cool and emo and know how to take pictures of myself in a mirror.  (Why the hell do people do that all the time anyways?)  lol, anyways, here it is:

And just for a point of reference, so to speak, are some pictures of me in January (the one with Dan and Kim), and in May (with Tricia, Kim, and Lena.)  The biggest differences are in my face and stomach (and not to mention that dress was WAYYYY too small for me.  lol.)

Dining out

-2.2 pounds!

I'm proud, because I ate out 3 different times this week, which is, well, 3 more times than normal.

I had a munchies dog on Saturday night with Justin.  I wasn't going to get one, because I assumed they were super fatty, but when the guy brought the box out, they said "turkey franks" on them, so I gave into my desires for a delicious grilled hot dog with tasty onions on it.  Haha.

Then Justin and I went out to Fireside Grille for the first time on Tuesday night.  It was very delicious.  I got the teriyaki chicken with grilled vegetables and sticky rice.

Then on Wednesday I went to Lewiston with Jes, Stephen, and Chris.  We ended up eating at Applebee's, which is fine because they have the points right on the menu.  (Did I tell you how good the steak and portabello mushrooms is?  Butters took us there awhile back, and it hit the spot!)  Anyways, I got the steak again, but I did find myself picking at the massive nacho Chris ordered and the delicious boneless buffalo wings that were also on the table.  YUM!  Haha, but I didn't eat too much, and I still had a good week!

I'm always afraid when I end up eating out because no matter how hard I try to "be good," you never know what hidden oil or something else fatty the cook behind the counter added into your meal.  But dang the food was good!  :)

Well my family is here for the weekend (And I WILL be good!), so see you next week!

OH, and P.S.  In case you didn't see my facebook status earlier this week, I OFFICIALLY weigh less than my driver's license says I do.  This is probably the first time ever.  Haha.  My license says 195, by the way.  Woot woot!

Current weight: 189.8 lbs.
Weight until next goal: 14.8 lbs.

on the way down!

-2.4 pounds this morning!  woot woot!

The funny thing was I was standing on the wii fit, and told Justin not to look in case it was bad.  He laughed and asked if that would change the results.  Of course!

I was a little worried because I didn't go to water aerobics on Monday due to the last of my medication giving me horrible stomachaches.  I'm being lazy again because I'm at a point where I know what is "good" and "bad" and just eat the "good" stuff and in turn don't count points.  Need to get my calculator back out and glue it to my hand.

When I was brushing my teeth this morning, I was standing in front of the mirror nekkid and noticed that my "fat scars," as I labeled them earlier in this venture are starting to fade.  Obviously they're still there, but they're not as red, or gross looking.  The human body is great. :)

Have a great weekend!

Current weight: 192 lbs.
Weight until next goal: 17 lbs.

P.S. I just noticed that I'm closing in on my starting weight from the very FIRST time I did Weight Watchers, back in the 8th grade.  I started at 186.6 (don't ask me how I can remember that).  Its almost disappointing that at that time I was sure that I would never get fatter than that.  I feel like a lot of folks say that.  Oh well, I'm on the way down, and feeling good.  :)
