From clumpy chick to chic chic

It was for me this morning!  I got on the scale and it read…….208!  So I did the scale dance.  Uh-huh, I see you snickering.  You’ve done it too.  You step up, look down, step off.  Step up, look down, step off.  Repeat until you finally believe in that number.  Of course, I have done that as well when the number has gone up, or stayed the same…..ok I admit it.  I scale dance daily.

Well I bumped my calories up for the last few days towards 1800.  I was wondering if I freaked my body out by giving it too few calories too soon, and that’s why the scale was stuck.  Except for last night, when I ended up with less than 1000 calories.  Oops.  I just was not hungry, although I did enjoy my icecream.  Thank you skinny cow!

This morning though, not so good.  I have been snacking on cereal, munching on pumpkin seeds, and I ate 2 starbursts.  Not that that in moderation is going to ruin anything.  To be honest, the candy didn’t even taste that good.  I just ate it because it was there.  The pumpkin seeds were alright, I made them with cinnamon, sugar and salt.  Not really my cup of tea.  The next batch will be plain, so that I can eat some too.

I have to say that I am majorly proud of myself for stopping drinking my calories.  I had 1/2 bottle of Dr. Pepper the other day (and it took me all day to drink that much), and I just tossed the rest.  I didn’t enjoy the taste like I used to.  The same thing happened with the ice tea.  It’s just too sweet.  I have no issue at all with drinking my crystal light all day or water.  It’s weird.

I am worried for tonight though.  We are getting pizza for dinner.  That is one of the foods that I miss most.  I love pizza, and I have indulged in a piece of two now and again.  It does not hurt until I go to plug it in to the fitday, and I go “ugh, I ate that.”  I need to have something fun that I can eat too, so that I am not tempted by the pizza.  More on that choice later.

Lastly, I am taking month by month pics to show my progress.  Lets see if this works.

Not a huge change, but I am on my way!
