Today went well.  I persevered and ate my veggies tonight, even though I didn’t want to go through the trouble of packing them (had to work) and then eating them on top of that.  I also avoided some candy traps.  I do need to start doing a better job with my water, though.  I’m just not drinking it all.  Mainly, my current water bottle is disgusting.  My husband left it in his car for months, and it grew nasty stuff.  I washed it several times in the dishwasher, so it is sanitized, I’m sure, but it still has that smell to it– no taste, just a yeasty smell that I’m more and more disgusted by.  So, I’ve decided to buy a new one, but now I’ll have to wait until the weekend when I have time to go get one.

Breakfast: MRC cheesecake (4 oz. cottage cheese, 3 melba toast rounds, 1/4 pudding supplement (20 cal)), HNS

Lunch: bar (150 cal), HNS

Snack: HNS

Dinner: 2 oz. grilled chicken, 1 oz. cheddar, on 1/4 wrap (25)– very yummy.  I’ve been into grilled things lately.  4.2 oz. broccoli, HNS

weight at home: 190.5  I can’t seem to get over this hump.  I had a very heavy shirt on this morning, though, so that could contribute at least a pound, and it was too cold to take it off, so we’ll just see what happens tomorrow.  The wii fit says I’ve lost 1.5 lbs. in 5 days, so that’s slower than normal, but I’m weighing at different times in different clothes, so it’s hard to tell. 

I tried on a couple pairs of 12s tonight.  Most of them lack about 2 inches of closing comfortably.  One pair will close, but it’s not pretty!  So, it will probably be at least another two weeks before I can actually start wearing them.  I think things are progressing nicely, and quickly, too, but every time I’ve been in a size for a while, I start to get antsy to get on to the next.   My 14s are now plenty loose, but of course I’m not quite down to the 12s– at least, I’m not comfortably into the 12s, and I refuse to let myself look like a stuffed sausage…patience.
