Any Weigh You Look at it.

Days until Con : 88

06/05/2011

Today I'm filming a Vlog episode and it'll feel good to be back in that aspect of media. It's been a blast filming the other three, and I have plans for the next few. They may not be as extravagant as Episodes 2 & 3 but the point is getting them out there and sharing in my weight-loss journey.

Today is weigh in day, and I made somewhat of a comeback after some weird weight gains throughout the week. So while I gained pounds from last week, I'm definitely not losing heart because I kicked major ass the last half of this week. Riding that momentum I'm looking to do some amazing things for the rest of my challenge.

Last sunday : 219
Three days later : 226 (I blame lack of sleep, but I'm not sure if that accounts for 7 pounds gained?)
Today : 221

I eat out way too much, and while I've done an awesome job so far in my quest, I cannot help but wonder how I'd do if I stopped eating out for dinner. I fall into the classic trappings, I work late and have an hour drive home, I'm starving and just want to stop somewhere and get something to eat. I refuse to eat fast foods so that leaves sit down restaurants. Now that I'm single I bring a book and read chapters at a time during my dining experience and that piece I'm addicted to.  I love reading, so very much.

But this week I'm challenging myself to not eating out, anywhere. I bought enough food to last 7 days, and soon realized if I pull this off I'll end up saving a ton of money. I have to break myself of my eating out habit, it's not healthy and I have a Con to be hot for.

I'll still be able to read though, I'm cursed with friends who are constantly late to anything planned with me. I once had a book I read only when I was waiting for my friends to show up and was not surprised when that book was read in a relatively short amount of time.

So I'll let this be my reading time, turn my friends' tardiness into personal enlightenment. Assholes. Though admittedly I'll likely get there an hour early so I can squeeze some quality reading time in.
