Okay, 197 minus 195.5.
Is that 1.5 lbs lost or 2.5 lbs lost?
Yes, I really am that bad at math.
I totally ate my feelings on Saturday. The trip to Joann was stress-ball city. And then we went to dinner where Erin works to see her and I did well, I think. Except I ate rolls. Yummy, awesome rolls. With butter.
And then we went to Target. It was supposed to be a quick trip for more Zyrtec for Joshua.
People, there is no such thing as a quick trip to Target. I should’ve known this. Should’ve known better.
Joshua was reaching the end of his toddler rope and I was trying to not be trapped in the house with a melt-y toddler so I strolled around Target and he sat in the buggy taking his shoes off and throwing his socks out of the back. (What a toddler thing to do.)

I? Grabbed a bag of Reese’s Miniature Peanut Butter cups and opened them as soon as I got in the car.
Sunday is supposed to be my “cheat day” (according to myself) but I started cheating on Saturday night. And I kept cheating through dinner tonight with Annie’s Mac and Cheese and ham for dinner.
At least the scale was kind to me this morning since the toddler wasn’t. (He thought it’d be RAD to wake up at 6:00 a.m.)
I still can’t tell a difference in my clothing, but it’s obvious that I lost at least a pound and a half (or two and a half pounds…?) according to the scale that would NEVER THINK of lying to me. Ever.
I’ll take the wins where I can get them. Especially since I’ve had two miniature peanut butter cups while writing this. (Bad. BAD.)
This week I WILL drink more water, dammit. WILL. That’s one thing I know I can be doing differently to help myself out. One coffee mug and more water than usual.
What are you doing this week?
I’ve stopped looking at the scale (I get too obsessed with the number), but I’m seeing definite difference in the way clothes fit – but there’s some very good stuff here. You cheated, but you allowed yourself to cheat. You have your “cheat day” (mine is Thursday, but I won’t allow myself to go near a Burger King or open a bag of Combos on a Thursday).
Still, post here with your trials & tribulations – with your triumphs & setbacks, you’ll find that “keeping honest” to yourself just works better when you have the outlet…give it a few weeks & you’ll be noticing real changes in the way your clothes fit.
I tried not looking at the scale and I found I didn’t have much to keep me accountable without it. So I try to only get on it once a week, on Sunday. And then I cheat on Sunday 🙂
I try to cheat within reason. If I’m going to cheat, it’s going to be one meal I shouldn’t eat instead of three huge blow-out meals that will make me feel like vom.
And I’ll still be posting everything here. No worries!
dude. I hear you.
I busted arse last week by eating salads, exercising, skipping dessert, skipping alcohol, chugging water…& I gained 3 lbs in one week?! I’m not understanding it.
Meh. I was maybe only half as good as I should’ve been, so seriously. I’m taking the wins where I can get them.
I must drink more water. MUST.
There is never a quick trip to Target. Ever. I’m with you there. I’m trying so hard to drink more water and I’ve come to the conclusion that I suck at it. I just do. My coffee intake is just not something that I can alter … I know I really need to, but I’m failing at that miserably as well.
I love the idea of a “cheat day” … I need one of those, and Sundays sound fabulous! Such a great idea! Good luck this week with achieving your goals! 🙂
I suck at drinking water because of teaching. There are only so many times a day I can run to the restroom, you know? I’ve just gotten in the habit of not drinking as much as I should.
Delighted to find you!
Popped over from Gussy Sews!
I’m LOVIN’ this real talk about giving in to temptation in Target!
My weakness…malted easter eggs!
I’m on a big fitness kick too!
Seeing a nutrionist~
We can INSPIRE each other!
xo
Thanks for finding me! And Target? Is temptation alley. I can’t go in there for one specific thing. I have to browse the entire store. MUST.
We CAN inspire each other! Check in each week for McFatty Monday posts!
I haven’t weighed myself in weeks….the number is not budging much right now so I’ve given up trying. Unless I wake up and just feel lighter…then I might try it. 🙂 I cheated all weekend..and with Easter coming up this weekend I don’t think I’ll be eating much better then. Good job losing weight even with the “cheats”. 🙂
Ahhh, Easter dinner. And jelly beans. Mmmm.
No more snacking at night for me. I gained weight this wk boo
I try to only have a Skinny Cow truffle ice cream bar if I’m going to snack through the week. Just something to take the edge off of my sweet tooth. Or fruit!
Congrats on the -1.5 pounds. And I call Target the $50 Store. No matter what I go in for I never get out without spending at least $50!
Me either. Well, almost never. :/
