Jacqui - Congrats on making it through your carb day without binging Hopefully the scale will go down soon for you.
I ended the week with a total loss of 1 pound. I would have liked to been down a little more but I'll take the 1 pound. I'm looking forward to another great OP week and I hope you all have a great week too.
Quick drive-by post via the cell this morning. I'm up way to earlier for the first day of training. We had a big weekend here. We managed to get all the boys squared away for the first day of school (today) and because of the tax-free weekend and those 50% of sales, I walked out of Khols with a boat load of clothes for work for 80 bucks!! Weight loss is hard to gauge as my scale keeps bouncing between 228-229 while TOM is still here. But I know I've been on point with my calories etc. so just waiting for that woosh!!!! Yall wish me luck. Let's see if I can manage a full day of an hour drive to work, an 8 hour shift, hour drive back home, homework and dinner for the boys and still manage to get my but to the greenway and walk. I'm determined though. No matter how tired I am or how miserable TOM makes me, I WILL go. Anywho, gotta start getting ready. Sure hope you guys have a wonderful Monday. Will try to hop on and catch up later as well as add my weight.

Happy Monday - well I started the weekend with a loss but after two nights of parties and events I gained! Am back at 184 - but today is another day and I will do better this week. It is slower than hoped but ending the month with a good loss will still be amazing. In it for the long haul - congrats to all those ladies that need to buy new clothes - that is very exciting!
Off to the malt shop. I don't need a fudge-scotchie malt (hot fudge/butterscotch) or a chocoffelate malt(mocha-ish). I'm guessing they each push around 1000+ calories. I also don't need their perfectly fried and beer battered onion rings. When I worked there I quickly put on around 15-20 pounds so I know that I have to be careful! I'm going with their grilled chicken sandwich and I know that even that isn't the healthiest. They butter and toast their buns which is part of why they taste so amazing. I know I could ask for a non-toasted bun but I won't. I need to have some indulgence. I think I plan to go for a long walk after lunch and maybe save some of my lunch for dinner later. Even if today goes completely OP then I know I just get back to it tomorrow and it won't make a huge difference in the big picture. Though I know that this next week will probably be a bit of a sodium battle from today's lunch.
Seriously, if i'm going to gain over a pound overnight I want to eat and enjoy the food!!! Instead I have been eating 1100-1300 calories and GAINING weight. WHAT!?!?!?!?!? Bleeping hormones!

Gardenerjoy, you are so right! I was getting demoralized during the past few days, but truthfully that is the silliest thing to do. Must work a bit harder as that's all it takes!
Hopefully the scale will go down soon for you.
I hope you get the chance to come home and unwind some after your after drive and task
