I broke down and bought a new scale today. My old scale didn't go high enough and would error (possibly a silent scream?) when I got on it. So I got one that goes up to 350 lbs. At first it just showed LO when I got on it and I was so worried it was erroring but it just didn't like my battery. I haven't weighed since Curves closed the end of October. I'm not sure but I think the weight I'm using on here is from my last doctor appointment. So tomorrow morning I will weigh. It won't be exciting cause I won't know if I lost anything since I couldn't weigh when I started but at least I'll have an accurate weight. I am just hopeful it won't be higher than my last weight.

Had fajitas for dinner last night then again for lunch today. Then I went to the grocery (with a few million of my neighbors) and got pork rinds with bbq flavor. I love bbq flavor! I checked the nutrition label and saw 0 for carbs and sugar and was very excited. I bought two bags. I munched away watching the first final four game and when I was putting the bag away I saw SUGAR in the ingredients. I'm disappointed cause I know better than to just check the nutrition label and now my "free" pork rinds are not really free but I can't count them accurately cause they come up as 0 carbs.

I nearly messed up this morning. I was contemplating what I had to do today and thought I would just grab something to eat at a drive thru rather than eat at home. You can't really get anything at a drive thru that is low carb that can be safely eaten in a car. But I was thinking I'd be okay. Was thinking I'd go to Arby's and get some mozzarella sticks. They are no kind of low carb but those were my crazy thoughts. Instead, I ate brunch at home - deviled eggs and sausage with my ACV drink. I forgot about that til just a few minutes ago - very proud of myself. Was able to remember WHY I need to stick with this and how fragile my current motivation is.

I had fajitas again for lunch. I think I will switch from fajitas to taco or fajita salads. Fajitas are just so expensive. Same restaurant, same meal two days in a row come up to close to $40. Way too much for two meals. My budget just can't handle that.

So things I need to work on:

1. Drink more water
2. Eat my own food (less restaurants)
3. REMEMBER why I'm doing this
