Weekly Weigh In

Well, I had quite the week. I'm up .4 lbs. However, I'm down over 2% body fat total. I got a little upset at myself this morning on the scale, but I do need to remember that I'm going to have up weeks, and geez its' only .4 not even 1/2 a pound.

I've been craving junk food and more junk food. One of my all time favorites are hot wings. Love them. That's a bad weakness. Any who, as I have really changed my eating, I would crave them like nothing else. It was horrible. I quickly discovered the reason was the potassium in the vinegar, so I started eating spinach, couldn't get enough spinach. I now eat spinach but have added drinking a couple tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. YUM! I have not acquired a taste for the vinegar. Anyway, the craving for hot wings came back this week. It was horrible. I drank more vinegar to curb that craving, it didn't work. So I caved last night and gave in. Boy those were some good wings. The good news is, I can only down maybe 6 small ones if that. YEAH shrinking tummy. Love it!!! I felt so relieved to have the craving gone, I then started craving more fried foods. I've come to the conclusion that not only was I needing potassium but also SALT!! Who would have ever thought, salt. Yes, your body still needs some salt. I don't eat salt very much anymore. Actually, very very little and most things taste to salty to me now a days. It's amazing when you change your eating habits how the "old normal" foods taste so bad. It actually goes to show you how bad I was eating. Not that you couldn't tell by how HUGE I was.

I do have good news, I was stretching one day after the shower, and I could see the outline of my ribs. I was beginning to think, I didn't have ribs anymore, I haven't seen the outline or any resembless there of in ummmm at least 10 years. YEAH!!!!! It's things like this, that keep me motivated. That and at my heavest, I wore a size 22-24 (yuck, I can't believe, I ever let myself get that big, GROSS) and I'm now into a 14. Hey, that's progress. It's taken a while but the eating is the most important aspect, sorry for those of you who want an easy fix, there is no such thing. Trust me, I tried and tried.

So all in all, I'm not to terribly dissapointed, I'll just work harder next week to drop the .4 plus 2-3 lbs.

Here's to a good next week.

Oh yes, school starts for Rusty in less then 10 days. YEAH!!! I'm looking forward to some girl time w/my Kennedy and of course, bonding time over homework w/Rusty. I love to see him come home with new things he's learned. He gets so excited or he tries to teach me. Which of course, the latter happens quite a bit. Things I've forgotten.
