Weigh in day

So Saturday was weigh-in day. I lost one pound. Losing weight is like a see-saw to me. I feel as though after all the hard work I did last week I should have lost more. Part of me feels disappointed in myself. The other part of me though says you lost a pound.... you didn't gain anything. I desperately try to stay positive and move on and pray to the weight gods that I lose more this week. As I said before, it feels like it is taking FOREVER to get this weight off!!! But I am determined and have already decided that no matter what happens, I WILL stick with this!

On another note...... I decided before starting all of this that I would have a cheat day every week. Without this day I wouldn't be able to stick with the whole program. So Saturday is my cheat day. I weigh in and then for the rest of the day, eat what I want and not count points. When Sunday rolls around I start my week out right. So usually my mom and I go out to breakfast or lunch after we weigh in. This past Saturday was no different. We went out to lunch. We both got sanwiches (ok subs but sandwiches just sounds better). So we're sitting there and this attractive couple walks in. A very skinny attractive woman and what appeared to be her thin, in shape husband or boyfriend. I could hear them as they ordered their drinks both of which got water. So knowing I can hear them from where we were sitting, I see them both appear to glance my way and seem to start whispering. So I sit there wondering are they judging me because of what i'm eating? Are they looking at the fat girl thinking she shouldn't be eating that? Now this is just my mind working overtime, they very well could have not even noticed me nor cared about what I was eating. This got me thinking though. How often do we judge others? These people don't know how hard I work on a daily basis, nor do they know that i've lost 16lbs and this is my "cheat day." How often do you judge someone not knowing a thing about them? I know i've done it, but now I think twice about stuff because I know what i'm going through.

So it's Monday, Memorial Day actually (thank you to all the soldiers)! I had no plans today so I spent several hours cleaning. Hopefully I burned some calories because there was no Zumba this evening. So the work week begins tomorrow and I can start it knowing that i'm one pound less than I was last week. YAY me! :)
