The F word

To say that this week has been a breeze would be a big fat lie! Sorry to use the F word, especially on a blog that is meant to be a diary of sorts for my weight loss journey, but it just seems to be the best word right now. Fat fat fat fat FAT!

So let's sum up the week shall we?

 Remember my weeks start and end on Thursdays. Last Thursday I was pleased as punch to see another loss at the scale.

I felt very in control of my surroundings over the weekend. My boys are super supportive and want me to succeed. They aren't fussy to eat what I eat. They might just have seconds, or put a little extra somethin' somethin' on their plates. It's super helpful that one meal is prepared, and they can just adjust it to their liking.

All in all, Thursday thru Sunday went well.

Then I went to work on Monday. Sigh.

I spaced that it was teacher appreciation week, so I didn't have a chance to get my mind set. Our PTA is pretty awesome. They really go above and beyond making sure each teacher and staff member know they are appreciated. Let's start with Monday, shall we? 2 words: Cinnamon. Rolls. EEEeeeeek!!!!! I LOVE a gooey, warm, fattening cinnamon roll. And these looked SO yummy! I texted my friend, and told her my problem. She texted back telling me "Don't eat one! They could be poisoned." So I kept that in the back of my brain. Poisoned. As in, if I eat one, by bodies reaction could be excessive swelling in the cheeks and tummy region. So I stayed away. Little victory #1..check!

Tuesday. Chips and Salsa from only my favorite place in the valley, Café Sabor. Oh my ever lovin'! BUT, my mind switched. I wasn't deprived at all because I knew that my family was going to be having taco salads that evening for dinner, so I told myself, I could stick with my plan and just have my own little fiesta a few hours later with my family. I didn't even step foot inside the teachers lounge to be tempted. Little victory #2..check!

 Wednesday. A catered lunch by Firehouse. Eh. Not even tempting. I have never loved Firehouse pasta, and that was what was being served, so the tiny victories just keep adding up. Little victory #3...check!

That leads up to today! THURSDAY! Besides the shoe box full of odds and ends (Think, "teacher survival kit") that also included lots of candy, which by the way I will not deprive myself of a treat now and again. In fact I've already figured out the WW points for the treats I know I'll want eventually from that box. Did you know a fun size Snickers is 2 points? So is a fun size Mounds. And a regular size 100 Grand is 5 points. I'll enjoy half for one Sunday, and the other half for another Sunday. I have will power like that! Anywho....I kind of got off the subject talking about candy, but the PTA also set up a sandwich bar in the faculty room. I was looking forward to my salad though, that I packed for lunch. And although the fixin's they had set out for the sandwich bar were all totally ok and "legal" on my forever journey plan, I chose to just stick with what I brought from home. I was going to be weighing in, in a matter of a few hours, so I wanted to make sure I stuck with the days plan!  Little victory #4...check!

As hard as the week has been, I am happy to say that my will power (or should I call it "won't power") paid off. For some, my little victories might seem silly, and it's ok to think so. I won't judge. This is a judge free zone. Oh, and P.S....


Weighing in  -2.4 That's a big FAT minus! Little Victory #5
