Feeling skinny today. I'm learning that feeling skinny doesn't have much to do with my actual weight--I mean within a pound or two I doubt I'm noticing a real difference, but it doesn't matter. Today I feel skinny and it's fun. My legs feel long, my pants are loose, my waist seems more defined. It makes me want to stay on course to get even farther along more quickly. It's weird to think I'm living at what is dream weight for some people and well below goal weight for some men. Makes me feel petite indeed! Today I'm also feeling pleased with points. Tonight's dinner is cobb salad. I figured out the points if I were to have it as I like it--real blue cheese dressing (4 TBLS--ok, I would like more, but this is reasonable), blue cheese crumbles, regular cheese cubes, meat, and bacon. Also on the side, 4 wasa crisp breads with butter and garlic salt. That comes in at a whopping 22 points. But you know what? That's not undoable! I had a lite bagel with cream cheese and a bowl of blackberries for b-fast. For lunch, I'm having a wrap, olives, zero point soup,watermelon and cheetos. I have a banana for a snack which I'll try and save until after work, because I have my lab tonight so it'll be a late dinner.
The other day I re-read this blog from the beginning. HOLY COW!! Talk about a record of addiction! On again, off again an endless record of 'exceptions' and rationale. And yet, I'm being successful anyway!!!! Looking back, it hasn't been a particuarly easy time emotionally--Mom getting cancer, some unhappy family encounters, Catherine wanting to join the military, financial stress, RS presidency stuff, a close contact with a suicide, and most of all---Catherine graduating from high school, getting ready for college and then LEAVING home. Any of those could have knocked me off track---come to think of it, all of them DID--and yet I'm still here. 19 pounds lighter--hoping to see 20 by Friday
