Weighed in this morning.  Surprised myself when I got on the scale and saw 290.  I’m down 2.25 lbs since Wednesday morning.  Very nice.  That’s those rewards I was hoping for.  I’m glad to see it’s not that my hard work wans’t paying off, that it will.  Just got to be patient.

I’m really excited that very soon I’ll be OUT of the 290s.  I’ve said over and over “Goodbye 300′s!” and this time I feel so much more confident.  And soon, I’ll be able to say “Goodbye 29o’s!”

I’ve worked harder than I expected to have to – just to lose the weight so far.  But if I can just do THAT… one. more. time.  I’ll be be nearly 30 lbs down.  And when I get there… I’ll focus on the next goal.

Alright, so I’m at 290.  My next mini goal is 28….5.  Yes, things are bound to slow down a bit now.   I’m just going to aim for 285.  I don’t want to get overwhelmed and obsessed with how long it will take to 280 – so yes, 285 it is.  I’m focused.

Also, last night I decided that tonight I am going to go OUT to dinner.  In my head I said – Im going to fill myself up and get it over with.  Then after my weigh in this morning, I’m just scared of that.  I don’t want to encourage that behavior – what I really want is to enjoy food normally.  So,what I will do instead of stuffing my face like food is gone forever, I’m going to just have a little here and there.  Divide my plate in half as soon as i get it – and if husband gets an appetizer, make it just that – a taste…

Please wish me luck!
