Reality Check & a weigh in

 Starting weight: 197.4

Current weight: 192.2

Difference: 5.2 pounds

I have to say......this surprises me. I really thought I would have gained. BUT....I most definitely could have lost more. So, with that being said.........

Oh my, what a crazy week it's been. My sister came down from Chicago for 2 days so we could cross some things off of her wedding planning list. We got her dress & invitations taken care of and we found our bridesmaids dresses. It was a crazy 2 days of running around and to say that my "diet" went out the window is an understatement. I've been horrible. For about a week I've started to fall back into my bad habits. The "I've already ruined my diet this morning, so I might as well eat what I want the rest of the day" has been my mentality all week.  I haven't exactly been eating crap, but I haven't been eating on a schedule at all. On Wednesday I had breakfast at 10:00 am and then didn't eat again until 6:00pm. Of course by then I was starving and ate my dinner and everything else in sight. I feel very out of control with it and I don't like that. I've come to the conclusion that I HAVE to have a plan! HAVE TO! Trying on bridesmaids dresses has once again given me the drive to keep this going.

I'm spending the day at home today doing laundry so I'm also going to take the time to plan out the next 7 days of food for myself. I'm also going to empty out my deep freezer in the garage and take inventory because I found a bag of tilapia in there the other night when I was looking for something! Totally forgot I had it!

I'm weighing in at Weight Watchers tomorrow morning, so we'll see how close their scale is to mine. Last time is was exactly the same as mine. This weight loss stuff is hard :-(
