Day 6 – wow, that’s amaaazing.  I mean, wait, what am I talking about??   I was just saying on the phone to BFF how it seems like I’ve been doing this for a month, not one week.  Sigh.  Ah well, getting to the one week mark knowing that I’ve really made quite the accomplishment is wonderful!  It’s quite the accomplishment for me because I could barely make it ONE DAY staying on-plan, let alone 6 days.

I weighed myself on my home scale and according to it, I’ve lost another 1lb.  I will see what it says tomorrow morning.  Seriously, this is the strangest time in my life when I’m losing weight from morning til evening.  Usually, it’s the whole gain two pounds during the day thing.  That being said, today’s progress could be not-so-great as I haven’t had nearly enough water.  Maybe … 32 oz, tops.

So, my official “Week One” weigh-in is going to be Saturday morning.  I decided this because I started the plan on a Saturday morning and since I’m going out with my girlfriends on Saturday evening, I really need to have my goal (and it’s successes) front and center in my mind to keep me in check.  I’ve decided to drink no alcohol.  Not that I think it’s evil, but I’m not really into the taste of it anyway.  One thing I am spluring on food-wise that is certainly FAR from being on plan, is a chocolate malt.  I’ve been craving it for weeks now (I was still trying to eat semi-healthy a couple week before I started S4L) and I feel like if I don’t have it, my cravings might get out of hand!  So, BFF and I decided that we’re going to do a one-hour aerobics class, Saturday afternoon.  Then we’re going to go SPLIT a chocolate malt.  I think it sounds like a great idea!

I’m still on my way to reaching my weight loss premonition for this week of 11 lbs.  Wouldn’t that be some kind of crazy-cool?  I was talking to my BFF-2 about it, Star, and she is totally rooting for me to reach that magic number.  She thinks I may have been on to something when I got that sudden thought.  Can I just take this moment to personally thank her for the fact that she does NOT work an office job and I can harass her during the day!!!  I will be sooo sad when you’re working all the time!!  But of course, I’m happy that you’re doing your dang thang, girl

Alright, so this evening I went to my parent’s house and spent time with my neices and nephew since they’re there for one more night.  My mom made dinner and it was something that I had grown up with – comfort food – and o.m.fudgesicles.  It was hard.  I didn’t think it would be – but seeing them all dig in… piling the deliciousness onto mountains of white sticky rice… jeez louise…

I sat and put a few select toppings on my bed of greens.  I ate it, not too begrudgingly, but not exactly as enthusiasticly as everyone else.  But towards the end, I was satisfied and whatever… my goal – my goal – my eye on the prize!!

This is the first time I’ve been more than ONE DAY in and have felt the momentum to go on.  It’s just like the other day when I felt so weak and I hoped it was short lived – I’m feeling strong right now, feeling good and I hope it will last – but when it takes a vacation, I just want the success I’ve acheived up til that point, carry me on through it.  Oh yeah, and also by doing what I’m doing now – babbling aimlessly on my blog until the feelings pass…

Have a great Friday, all   Oh and 2Fluffy, thanks for visiting and your words of encouragement – soooo appreciated and sooo helpful!!  Best of luck on your journy, too – keep me posted!
