According to my neighbor's scale, I've lost about 9 lbs (I know my profile says that I was 215 to start, but it was actually 218. When I signed up for this site, I guessed my weight because I don't have a scale in the house. Then I went over to my buddy's house and the fact that I had guessed 3 lbs too low was revealed.) but according to my clothes, nothing has changed...which is kind of a disappointment, but eh. I know the loose-pants-euphoria is just around the corner, and I'm patient. I know it's not all just gonna fall off. =D
Jimmy John's unwiches are a godsend. If you've got a Jimmy John's around you and you're on SB - duuuuude. You have to order them the healthy way, of course (hold the mayo and one of the two slices of cheese) but they are delicious.
I did kinda fall off the wagon a little bit earlier. My boyfriend's father found and ate ALL of my unsalted peanuts, and I was kinda SOL for a midafternoon snack @ work today. I noticed that we had some trail mix in one of the vending machines - unsalted nuts with raisins and M & M-like chocolates. I told myself I'd remove the raisins and the chocolate and leave only the nuts. Well, I took all the raisins out...and half of the chocolates. The fact that I had thrown away chocolate made me sad, so I ate the other half (which was the equivalent of 5 M&Ms). I don't think it's a huge derailment, but I should have been firmer in my will power to not eat the chocolates. It was a mental defeat, I guess. I said I'd do something, and I didn't do it. Ah well - all I can do about it now is learn from it.
I need to get on the excercising, though. I take my dog on a walk every day, but that's not enough. Any suggestions?
