Day 171 - 275.6 lbs

Well it is Monday, and it was weigh in day.  I weighed in this morning as I am not attending my support group tonight because I will be off at a Reba concert.  I am so excited, I love her music and this is the 25th anniversary of Breast Cancer Campaign.  Breast cancer is very dear to my heart as my mom is a 2 time survivor so when I found out Reba was doing the anniversary fund raiser right here where I live I could not, not go.

I was surprised at the scale this morning as I am down 3.2 from last week.  In spite of my oopes I guess my walking has paid off.  Sometimes I think we have a tendancy to get down on ourselves when really we haven't done that much wrong.  I remember one day last week standing in front of the mirror yelling at myself for being so fat and calling myself all kinds of names.  It just kind of came out of the blue and I couldn't stop myself.

Breakfast
1 pkg regular instant oatmeal (110 calories)
4 oz 1% milk (40 calories)
2 mini mandarin oranges (60 calories)

Lunch
6 oz raw veggies (carrots, clery, orange pepper)
20 mini Breton cheddar cheese crackers (100 calories)

8 oz V8 juice (70 calories)

Dinner
Tonight we are going out for dinner before the concert and I will be truthful I am going to enjoy myself.  I will practice portion control but not going to be crazy about it.  It's one of those nights where I just want to enjoy the company of my husband and our friends that are attending the concert with us.  Have a good evening everyone.  And for my challengers, job well done in spite of having fallen off the wagon once or twice during the week.  Just think what we could accomplish if we stuck to our eating plans and stayed on the wagon.  Job well done everyone!
