It's Sunday and that means weigh in day.  I was so nervous to step on the scale to see what I have done this week but so excited to see that I had dropped 2.8 pounds and now I am 492.  That is 10.2 pounds down from where I started on January 16th.  YEAH ME!!!

The first Sunday I weighed I had lost 9 pounds then the next Sunday I had gained back 2 pounds.  This week I lost again.  I was really good the first week at watching what I eat.  The 2nd week I thought, well I did so good the first week I can eat whatever I want and learned you can't when you step on that scale.  This past week I have really concentrated on watching what I eat and making better choices and it proved successful with a lost of 2.8 pounds.

We went to IHOP for brunch today.  It didn't take me long to determine I wasn't gonna blow my 10+ lb I had lost so far by eating something that would put it back on so I choice Eggs Benedict.  Had them cook the hash browns without any oil, butter or fat.  Put the hollandaise sauce on the side so I could determine how much I was going to use.  Instead of a stack of pancakes I had them make 5 silver dollar ones and hold all butter.  I didn't eat the pancakes until later in the day, instead ate the bowl of fruit that Bill had.  I was so happy with my choice and don't feel like I 'blew' my diet.  Oh I choose water instead of soda to save those points too.

Went to Walmart afterwards and bought some fresh fruit & smart ones meals by weight watchers.  This week I am gonna try to eat 1 meal with a vegetable and fruit for each dinner during the week.  I also bought light salad dressing so I will have salads for lunch using that.  I really hope that weigh in next Sunday will have me down under 490.

My mom told me that she would give me $100 when I lose my first 100 pounds to go towards buying new clothes.  Today I decided the first thing I was gonna buy was a swimming suit.  I can't fit into any swimming suit out there so when we swim in our pool I just wear a pair of shorts and t-shirts.  I am so looking forward to buying a swimming suit and going swimming at the YMCA this winter. Bill said he would get me a membership there so I can do water acrobics during the winter months.

I can't wait until our pool is up for this summer.  I plan on working out as much as possible.  Maybe I will drop a lot this summer.  Only time will time.

When we used to go to Walmart I wouldn't go in.  I would beg Bill to go get what we needed but today I choose to go shopping.  Instead of parking in the handicap by the front door I had Bill park 3 rows over and about 6 cars down cause I wanted the exercise of walking to the door.  I will get it wherever I can.  I walked around Walmart in the food section and then sat down while Bill did his shopping.  My knees start hurting so bad when I am walking around that I just have to sit and take a break.  I was still proud of how well I did and it made me feel good.  I am paying the price tonight cause my knees hurt but that's ok.  I still feel good overall.  I made good choices on food today and got some extra exercise.

Well tomorrow is another day and it will be a successful day.  Night everyone.
