174 GOAL!!

Hey!! Official weigh day today and I hit goal weight 187!! WOW!!  I really didn't think I'd see it this month.  Irritatingly, the people here at the health center where I weigh in, haven't yet seen it either.  Their scales weighs 4 pounds heavier than my home scale (even though I didn't eat or drink anything before I came up). They're willing to take off a pound or two for clothes and last month I flat out bullied the nurse into taking off 3, but I didn't feel good about it. So, the insurance may or may not acknowledge by way of paying for ww. But I almost don't care.  187--and not entirely due to stomach problems either. I never did get to feeling great yesterday, but I felt good enough to eat everything on my list. I DO like the flexibility of ww.

Me and Jennifer were talking--last night Jennifer had grilled fish, veggies and a peach. Does that just scream diet or what? I much prefer my sort of meals--bacon, omelete, watermelon, toast.  I think even at goal I will still like the same sorts of things and at 155 I shouldn't have to feel confined to a dreary regimen of boiled chicken and veggies.

One thing has been changing very slowly--the amount of bread. Mostly, as I'm computing points I just haven't been able to fit in two slices of toast or two english muffins. So, I've been having one instead. It's almost like a new thought--last night was a perfect example. I wasn't even hungry but just eating because I enjoy it and I had the points--I automatically assumed 2 slices of toast but that would have put me one point over. The thought that I might be satisfied with one piece--along with the 4 slices bacon etc..feels revolutionary. It's steps in the right direction. And I'm VERY excited about today's weight!!!! I'm going to the gym after work for weights and then having pizza. ---Not an orgies worth, in fact, we're deliberately ordering it at home so we can have big salads with the pizza. Pizza is never going to be a great point choice for me--I want three or four pieces, but that's ok. I'll enjoy it tonight be it one piece or four, but the salad is being eaten for sure. Then we're coming back up to campus for a date---free bowling and a magic show. Tomorrow I have a 2 and a half hour walk for marathon prep.  That ought to burn off a little pizza I think.
