Supersized Abby Minimized!

At the onset of all this diet stuff, I had been a size 20W.

Now I'm wearing a 14W bottoms and a 16M tops. I'm disproportioned. My top is a size smaller than my bottom! I can get my but into a 14W pant, but the 14W top is huge. But the 16M bottom is just a smidge tight, while the top is perfect.

That's encouraging to me. I need to hold on to that!!! Use it as motivation.

I have no clue what my goal is. Maybe I'll say 14M bottoms by beach. I need to get my butt in gear w/ this whole diet thing!

Right now, I keep bouncing between 180 and 185 lbs. I want to get to 160. Then I'll assess where I'm at and where I want to go.

I did a good job this week through lunches. It was dinners that killed me. Augh!

There Goes That Bandwagon

A few weeks ago, I fell off the "Diet Bandwagon." Got myself a bit banged up. I need to get back on it, but it keeps going right past me!

Maybe I'll just make my own wagon.

New Beginnings

Abby and I are starting over! We will call eachother EVERY night to check up on eachother. To keep accountable.

Yesterday was good for me... until I came home from B&N. I was so depressed since my Hubby was upset w/ me, that I ate a ton of candy after he went to sleep.

Today I simply had cereal and coffee for breakfast. But then i splurged on lunch: Sonic's for a Chicken Club Toaster and Large Tater-Tots. Taking into account that Erica shared a few of the tots, I took in approximately 23 points!!! OUCH! But i knew what i was getting myself into. I had it planned. For dinner, I will simply have a baked potatoe w/ broccoli. That will only be 1 point.

26 alloted points
-5 for breakfast
-23 for lunch
-1 for dinner

all equals -3 points

In other news...

I'm thinking again about the beach trip this summer. Its approx three months away now. If I can stick to my diet, I'll lose 2 pounds a week. That's 8 lbs a month. I have the potential to lose 24 pounds. [I'm not exactly sure of my current weight. My scales are frustrating me, they are hard to read, and I'm not sure which one is right. Regardless...] That would take me from 190-ish down to 166 lbs! Absolutely amazing. And really, IT IS attainable. I just need to stay disciplined.
