Feeling guilty

Ate a ton! Going to weigh so heavy tomorrow! That is all! Good night!

Morning after cheat day..

I drank 9 beers last night. Well I drank 7 beers and a tall can of twisted tea. I also ate a tonnnnnnn ton of pizza!!!!!
I'm proud of myself for not getting up to 10 drinks, but I still feel sort of guilty for cheating so extremely.
I got on the scale to see my damage just now and I'm actually down to 152.2. That doesn't surprise me.
Drinking dehydrates so I will have lost water weight.
The strange part is that my scale actually says I've gained water and lost fat!
I'm starting to wish I had another scale that takes %'s just to double check.
That'd be great if its true but just doesn't seem right!
I guess I'll check and see if I gained tomorrow. I'm willing to bet I will. Not only because I'll get back the water but because I'm going to be eating at a casino buffet today.
My sister brings measuring cups when she goes to buffets, and I think I might try that today!
I don't want to go too overboard. From my experience, casino food is amazzziiinnnnggggggg! It'll really be a task to limit myself.

I have 20 days to lose 7.2 lbs!

Weighing in!

Today's weigh in:
152.4 lbs
24.9% fat
35.7% water

I really want my fat at 24% and my water at least to 36%. I need to recheck my scale brochure but I'm pretty positive I still have a low water weight! And according to the brochure 24% fat is the start of the "fit" range. Right now I'm in "average".

A little tmi but possibly important?
Its the first time my cycle has really started since, well, before I got pregnant last year. (It sucks because I was enjoying not dealing with it but I guess its a sign my hormones are back to normal). Still, I'm not sure how it is effecting my weight. I don't have much to compare it to!

Also, I'm getting sick right now so that sucks too. My throat feels awful. I'm not sure that's affecting my weight in any way, but it makes me not want to do much exercising!

With wanting to look nice in a tight fitting, red dress, I'd really like to work out a lot these next 3 weeks! We will see how that ends up going.
I believe the first time I tried it on, years ago!, I was 145 and it looked nice but I wanted to drop a few more lbs before wearing it out. Now, id just be happy to get to 145 again! I was 19 years old then. So it was 6 years ago. Then college and drinking began and I haven't been probably even the weight I'm at now, since late 2007!
But my low weight in 07 was either 140 or 145. I can't remember!
9 years ago, I was 130 so that's my goal. I want to fit back into the shorts I had then. The least I weighed that summer was actually 128. That's the least I've weighed since reaching my full grown height of 5'7".

But yeah, 145 to wear that dress seems decent. That'd be 7.4 lbs in 3 weeks.

Measuring in!

38-32-37 today
So I lost 1 inch in the middle and 1/2 an inch around the hips. (Since last week)
38-35-39 were my very first measurements when I started a couple months ago. So, since then I've lost 3 in the middle and 2 around the hips.
Not bad! May 2nd was when I started measuring by the way, so it was even less than 2 months..but pretty close!
June is almost over. Its passed wayyyy too fast! But I'm excited for my baby's first 4th of July. I hope she loves it and it doesn't freak her out!
And in a little over 3 weeks is my surprise!
We went to visit Scots dad yesterday and he did not surprise me with maggianos! We did pick up food from go Roma and it was very good. I got a parmesan crusted shrimp Caesar salad and minestrone soup. It kept me at my calorie goals, so I did not cheat! Yay!
That also means that I can keep my regular weigh in day, tomorrow.
I look forward to my progress.
I still don't have a cheat day planned!
I guess I will have to play that by ear. I might try to hold off drinking until July 20. Probably won't hold off but I MIGHT try.
It's strange to not have much planned for a while. I've been so busy lately!
I have a dentist appointment July 2nd and going to be celebrating the 4th at my moms. Other than that, not much going on in July. We are going on vacation in September. Jadyn's first vacation :)
I cannot wait for that! Well, maybe I can. September means October is near and October 19 is her 1st birthday. That's just growing up way too fast!

Clean the house wednesday!!

My house is a disaster. Luckily, Scot will be home early today. (Hopefully within a couple hours). Then I'll be able to clean more. I made a list of rules and chores that the two of us are going to print out, sign, frame, and follow!!
I think it'll make things less hectic around here.

My surprise is in 3 weeks, 3 days!
I'd really like to fit well into my red dress by then. I haven't been exercising everyday, like I planned on. I need to get back into it, at least 3 days a week!
At this point it might speed up my weight loss, since I took such a huge break from it!

I was planning on going to a grilling show this weekend, but its been cancelled. Now, I'm not sure what day I'll do my cheat day. I might just put off until the 4th of July, or something. It usually slows down my weight loss when I take that long between cheat days, though.
I'm just hoping to be below 153.6 on Friday.

Once I hit 150, I plan on trying on my size 10s.
I was planning on getting my haircut at 140, but I've done that already. My hair was just awful. So, maybe instead, I'll get a manicure or something. I need to make a few changes on my goals list.
Scot (accidentally) hinted that we are going to maggianos soon. I'm not sure when he plans to.
I kind of think he wants to surprise me tomorrow, but I could be wrong.
In fact, I probably am wrong.
He said we are renting a room in his dads nursing home to come bring Jadyn to visit him. We have never rented a room before, so its unusual.
I don't want to take my cheat day tomorrow!
I'd have to weigh in in the morning, and the numbers aren't going to make me want to cheat so soon!
Oh well, maybe I can still count or just exercise for 5 hours or something.
I'm super hungry today, it sucks

But at least with Scot coming home soon we can have an early dinner.

So far I've had cheerios with milk, a skinny cow chocolate wafer and a Turkey dog with ketchup and guacamole flavored corn chips.
All in a matter of 4 hours n I'm still hungry!!

19th progress pic

Didn't do well on my diet this week but still have 3 days til weigh in day. I can buckle down from now-then.

My progress pics look better this week, even though I weigh probably just about the same. I must have been bloated.

25 days til my big surprise! I'm so excited!

Weekly high...?

Last night was awesome! I'm so glad we went! The show we went to was on the north side. Its at the conservatory theater and is called the variety drinking game. Look for tickets on goldstar.com! Its only 5 bucks! And Scot was such a brute until we went and he admitted it was a blast and I did a great job buying the tickets!
I ate so much yesterday! And I think I managed to keep it under 10 beers which was a personal goal of mine.
But anyway, my weekly high, unless it goes up more tomorrow, is 155.6 lbs.
That's pretty good, if you ask me! Its only a 2 lb gain from my low!
My water weight only dropped .2%. I think its because I managed to control my alcohol consumption and am not THAT hungover!
2 years ago if I only had 8-9 beers, I'd hardly have a buzz. I got a good one last night!

Further news... as Scot works for the union, his job is over this week. That means he will be unemployed for a little while. Good news: help with Jadyn. Bad news: stressed/grumpy boyfriend.
27 days til my big surprise!!! Ahh I'm so excited!
And cannot wait to post all about it!
