7 Days and a loss

I really don't have much to say except I did horrible yesterday:( I had about 1846 calories (I would round it up to 2000 calories).  I have been feeling a little weird these past two days and whatever that was made me totally dig in last night:/  oh well, today is a new day and I'm doing great, feeling great, and totally excited!  I weighed myself in the morning and I'm at 191lbs soooo that means there's a loss! Woot woot! I really didn't think it was going to be a big loss considering I have done no workouts whatsoever and my eating hasn't always been on point BUT it definitely made me feel awesome to see the scale go down:)   As of today I have 6 days left and I've decided to lower my calories to 1350 for the remainder of my personal challenge.  I'm pretty confident that I will stay around that number but I'm not going to beat myself over it if I go over a few calories every other day as long as I keep track of everything I eat, I think I'll be okay.  Exercising is the last thing I want to do right now so when I finally do get the urge to start working out I will let you guys know.  Right now I think focusing on my eating habits and learning to control my portions is the best thing I can do.

I have found that I'm really enjoying trying out a bunch of healthy  low-fat/low-cal foods.  I baked some chocolate chip cookies from Hungry Girl the other day and while I'm not thrilled with how they tasted, it gave me a reason to start looking into ways to bake healthy.

That's it for now! ;)

Getting Rid of the Weekly Weigh In

I have been thinking about whether or not I should weigh myself now or anytime soon.  I decided that as long as I know I'm doing good with my eating and not being sedentary during my days:  I'm not.  I just don't care to deal with the emotions that stepping on the scale do to me.  I am going to keep track of  my loss by taking pictures and by the way my clothes feel on me.  Once I'm comfortable with the idea of stepping on the scale I'll step on it.  Sound good?:)

Now, I'm not sure how often I'll be posting up pictures but I will try to post one up at least monthly.  I will keep you guys updated on how my clothes "feel" a lot more often though:D  I started a size 16 (and it was a bit tight) and now I'm a size 14 and it's starting to feel comfortable. My goal right now is to get into a size 12 comfortably and my ultimate goal is a size 10:D and that's where I'll stop.

Now, that I'm thinking about what the scale does for me now: depresses me, makes me give up a lot faster, feel worse, and I could go on an on.  What does the scale do for you?
