Resisting Temptation and starting anew!

I guess I'll start with the new - weight loss contests are starting again. Both the Biggest Loser challenge with my SIL and the Lettuceeatcake challenge with my friend J. This will be good for me. I don't really plan on doing anything different than I have been doing because I'm not, but it is nice to have someone tangible to be accountable to. Or maybe because I like the attention. Either way, I'm going for round 2 starting May 1st (inconvenient that happens to fall on a Saturday and not my Sunday weigh in day). Oh well.

And on to the old....

Even though my bathroom scale has issues, I still habitually get on it every day after getting out of the shower. It is off by a few pounds, but while I've been stuck in my plateau it's been pretty consistently at about 160.4 or .8. The last few days I've seen 158.4 and 159. something. Although it is not reliable, it is giving me hope that maybe my efforts at curbing the late night eating is paying off. Last night was bookclub and I miraculously still had 7.5 points left after dinner, so I did end up eating after 9 pm - but not past 9:45! :)

Today I am on an eating binge - or at least trying to manage not to be. Unfortunately all my snacks like carrots and fresh green beans are gone, so my easy out is missing. I am trying really hard to talk myself out of eating through my weeklies. It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have a Mexican cultural night at the church plus a friend's birthday party (catered from Salsalito's YUM) AND a taco dinner fundraiser at the church tomorrow night. Hello food, bye bye points!!

I ought to be doing something productive like cleaning the house or updating my piano lesson records, but I'm having a hard time focusing on that. *sigh*
