Well, I've stayed around 251 for the last few days, so even though it's not my technical "weigh day," I put it in. It's good motivation to see the number go down, and to see the weight history chart start leaning down further. I can't wait to be on the other side of 250.
I tried the treadmill for the first time the other day. I'm an elliptical/bike/weights kind of girl. Treadmills terrify me, due to the fact that I have an irrational fear of flying off and making a fool of myself. But, I hopped on and played with the buttons and let myself get acquainted with it. It really wasn't that bad, but it did feel unnatural, even walking briskly. I have the worst balance ever, and definitely didn't let go of the sides. It's alright, though. I felt the burn still!
I had a bad morning yesterday- decided to treat myself to a skinny Starbucks. The average calories I found for skinny coffee drinks were about 150-250. I figured I'd be okay getting a grande skinny white mocha. NOPE. It's 320 calories, way over the budget. I got frustrated with myself, as I stared at a $4.00 drink I couldn't have. In the end, I split it into two mugs- one I put in the fridge for the next morning, the other half I had that morning. Splitting it up into two servings was a good plan, I figure. I guess the saying is true- if you don't plan, you plan to fail. Definitely true in yesterday morning's case.
I'm doing well today. I'm going to a "passion party" my sister and her roommates are throwing. Ugh. They're having wine and appetizers. I hate positions where I feel awkward not eating anything. I feel like if I tell somebody I'm watching what I'm eating, they want me to eat even more! "Just one bite won't kill you!" I hear. Sometimes a few bites really can mess up the day's calorie plan, in some cases, though! My plan is to eat a filling meal beforehand and a ton of water so I won't be hungry. I have a bit of a calorie leftover buffer for tonight, in case I do falter a little.
Wish me luck!
