| = 100 lbs |
I ran across this the other day. I was totally shocked! Did you know that heavy punching bag weighs 100 lbs?! My goal is to lose 100 lbs by end of 2013. I can not believe I am carrying the equivalent of a heavy bag around.
Someone posted this awhile back on MyFitnessPal. If I go by the list, I have lost a small bale of hay!

I went out shopping today with my mom. We went out to eat afterward. I was kind of scared, that I would make bad choices. We went to a local restaurant that caters to people watching what they are eating. It has super delish food. I was able to get a salad/chicken/veggie plate, with homemade dressing on the side. I ate more than I normally do for lunch, and I could not do an accurate cal count. I am also not sure about my salt intake. Now that I have cut out salt from my diet, I can actually feel the difference when I do have some. I will drink as much water as I can, but I may be bloated for my weigh in tomorow.

Shoot me now. Its like I said, have one chip and I have to eat the whole bag! I ate out, and since then I have wanted to snack and eat! I have not succumbed, but dayum...
Tomorrow is not going to be good. Sheeesh.

Didn't snack tonight, but it was a very near thing. Things were rushed around the house, and I had supper standing up and rushed. The whole day felt out of control, and I really really didnt like it. I see now the reason I have done so well is all my planning, my slow and steady attitude to my meals. I never make anything that I really love, or have a hard time controlling. Supper tonight was meatloaf. One of my all time favorite things to eat. It was very hard to not keep picking at it til it was all gone. It was a close call. After I had nibbled once on the left over slice, I immediately stored it in a container and put it away. Out of site and out of mind.

Its true. I am losing my underwear. They have a lacy top, made out of micro fiber than can stretch to fit almost anything! Well...they are too big now. Hehehehe!
