Day 7

Starting Weight: 221
Today's Weight: 216.2
Total Loss: 4.8 pounds

First of four weeks down with day 7 today.  I'm down 4.8 pounds in a week which is not quite enough for the 30 pounds in 30 days goal but definately more than I would have lost had I not been writing this blog.  I went shopping today and was really prepared to be upset when I left the store like I usually am when I shop for jeans but I grabbed a pair of jeans that didn't have a tag when I was going through jeans for the dressing room and when I tried them on I really liked the way they fit.  I started looking for the tag assuming they would be the most expensive jeans in the store and I found the tag stuffed in the front pocket and it said size 14!  I took those jeans off so fast to check the size sewn into the jeans for verification and they were a 14!  I swear if my wrists wouldn't snap on impact I would have done a backflip right there in the Macy's dressing room.

That great feeling really carried me through the rest of the day.  I did have McDonalds for breakfast (a bargain I made with myself years ago if ever I have to go into work on the weekend) but was able to control my calories later in the day and still feel really good about the day as a whole.  I didn't get to the treadmill today as its d-day for the landlord inspection so I swept, mopped, scrubbed, and picked up 2600 square feet today.  To make it worse it is exactly 11:19pm as I'm typing this so I obviously am not in my bed with the lights out.  Strike two on my resolutions for today.  Logan has been in bed for almost 3 hours and has already been up twice convinced there is a pirate under his bed.  I laid down with him to get him back to sleep and he promtly threw an elbow to my eye giving me more incentive to nip this night time bs in the bud.  That being said I'm not predicting a restful night for me.

Tomorrow I am definately hitting the treadmill no excuses!  Maybe I can be in a size 12 before I move!  Now that right there makes me want to go get on the treadmill and run til morning.
