I have been DREADING stepping on the scale since going to PKU camp last weekend. If you have followed all of my entries on this blog, you will have seen that I have posted a few times about my low-protein food containing a TON of calories. Last weekend at camp that is basically all I ate and there were no calorie counts on anything, so I had no choice but to not count all weekend.
On the way home from camp, Donaldo and I went to Olive Garden as a "welcome home" meal, and that's basically a total day's worth of calories at one meal. Then Wednesday, after helping move my sister, we went to a bar/pub where I indulged in french fries and fried mushrooms.
Finally, tonight I was like "screw it, I need to see where I'm at", and I get on the scale and see 174.0, which is my lowest weight yet!! 11 pounds lost now! My weight loss has slowed in the last month, but mainly due to the 4th, and then a few days like with camp where I wasn't able to count as much. I was supposed to get back to running, like I posted about in my last entry, but 2 days ago I got hit with a sinus infection and I've been feeling AWFUL.
This small victory made my night and gives me so much confidence that I'm learning how to eat right WITHOUT totaling every single morsel I eat on Fitness Pal. I have 4 months to lose 40 more pounds and I'm GOING to do it! I can't wait to get back to my exercise, as soon as I feel 100% again (hopefully by Monday)!
Hope you're all having a great weekend!
