Laughing Out Loud

Yes, I am laughing out loud at my digital scale. Yesterday I weighed myself and it says that I weighed 130 pounds!! Woo Hoo. LOL! I continued to weigh myself 4 more times. Still 130 each time.

This morning I weighed myself. 136 pounds! Wow! Still good. LOL.

So, I now know that the digital scale is obviously NOT RIGHT!

SOO...on my dial scale it read 285. Still. This makes me so frustrated because I thought I was doing better. Now, I still have 6 pounds to go before my Alyssa pre-preggo weight. I almost feel like I am back to square one.

I still want a nice digital scale that isn't going to lie to me...

Oh yeah, I forgot...

That I found out my high school reunion is coming up in July. July 15th to be exact!!

So, how much weight do you think I could lose before then?? AND what can I do to curb these damn munchie cravings I have been having.

My problem: I can eat decent all day. But, after dinner it hits me like a ton of bricks and I crave either cereal or ice cream. It sucks, because good stuff never satisfies my cravings. I bought 100 calorie pack cookies. They taste pretty good, but don't satisfy my craving. I bought 100 calorie granola bars. They taste great, but don't satisfy my craving. Fat free pudding. Taste OK, but don't satisfy my craving. A bowl of cereal. Satisfies my craving. Ice cream. Satisfies my craving. Chips would do it too, but I usually don't have those in the house much (which is a GOOD thing).

HELP. Any advice??

Absent

I know I have been absent this week. I missed the Tuesday weekly weigh-in. It actually wasn't because I didn't weigh in, because I did. I have been super busy with my sick child.

In weighing in on Tuesday, my digital scale said 278 and my dial scale said 284. It is still so far off from each other. I have a hard time thinking that I lost another two pounds. It was my birthday week and my nephew's birthday party. I ate out to lunch twice, out to dinner once and cake two days. How in the heck did I lose two pounds?!? Plus, I didn't go and work out on last Wednesday, since that was my birthday.

So, I don't know what to believe. In a way I am still believing my dial scale, as much as I would rather believe my digital scale. I am so confused! I should just get a better digital scale and see what that says, since this one is so cheap.

This week has been better. I worked out an extra day. (Thanks to my mom for coming over to babysit while I went yesterday morning).

Tonight I have a wedding, which won't be good. It will be yummy food and lots to drink. And I'm drinkin'...LOL!

A week already

Oh my gosh, it has already been a week and here we are at weigh-in Tuesday again.

Well, I am still successfully not eating any fast food! It has now been over 5 weeks. It is truly amazing how much better your body can feel. Really.

This past week, I really didn't do much. Yesterday, Gary, the girls and I went to the metroparks for a long walk and play time at the playground. It was nice to get outside and do some walking. And it always nice when you have someone to do it with!!

For some reason, I didn't feel good about weighing myself this week. I don't know why, but I was pleasantly surprised when the digital scale read 280 and the dial scale read 283. I know they are still off from each other, but I figured I would record my weight off of both of them. Once again, I had lost about 2 lbs!! Woo Hoo! Only one more pound (on the digital scale) until I am at my Alyssa pre-preggo weight. But, obviously I am not stopping there!!

Today my mom is taking me out for lunch for my birthday (tomorrow). I picked to go to Max 'n Erma's because they have an awesome Santa Fe salad that I LOVE. I would have no temptation for any other dishes because I really love that salad. I just have to try to forget about those scrumptious cookies they have there. Well, maybe if we order them I will have one. It is my birthday after all...LOL. We will see if we even order them.
