But did I eat one? No. I wanted one really, really badly. But I figured, in that suit, it was essentially cannibalism. So the next day, at my first BBQ, of COURSE there were hot dogs... and hamburgers. But I held strong. I only had venison, which is a super lean meat and quite delicious! (Thanks, York.) I also made cookies, but they were healthified and I only had two. Then Sunday was obviously Father's Day. Steve's mom, Sheri, went balls to the wall. There was so much food and it was so good! I had a ton, including filet mignon, ribs, baked beans... plus a cookie and a cannoli. But that all counted as both lunch and dinner. Plus, I somehow withstood the temptation of cherry pie and ice cream (and another 4 cookies and cannoli).Yesterday I didn't bother weighing in, because I knew there was no need for that (come on, I'm not a sadist). But today, dun dun dun... 148.5! Right back on track. So I am pretty pleased. I am 5 days from the beach, and not at my goal of 142, but still. That was the lowest of my low and will probably take some time. I DO feel like I am doing this in a healthy way, and making positive lifestyle changes. I've lost 14 1/2 pounds since mid-April, people. Not too shabby.
And honestly, the best best best part is that clothes that were NOT fitting me before are fitting me now! And I mean it's a marked difference. I went to try and find a bathing suit over Memorial Day weekend, and nothing was working. It was so frustrating (because bathing suits are expensive!) and you want it to fit perfectly if you're going to pay that much. Deciding that I was almost out of time, I went back this Sunday morning to just suck it up and buy one. And it was like I was a different person. Not only was everything fitting me, it was looking pretty good! So I ended up buying not one, but TWO. Gasp. And now I'm an entirely new level of excited for this vacation. The trick is going to be making my family eat well while we're there!
FIVE DAYS UNTIL OBX.
