I've been naughty... so what!

Another  week is now in the past.....

It was finals week, which was stressful enough...Dean also was terminated from his job, which just adds to the stress level... all of which can throw me out of fat burn. But even more so than that, is cheating on the diet.

Dean begged, and bartered to go to the local 5 dollar buffet to celebrate the end of the semester. I told him for days I didn't want to go, but you have to pick and chose your battles. I caved in and decided to join him (sometimes the kicking, screaming, and arguing isn't worth it in the end)  I had attempted to only eat things that are permitted on the diet, basically salad and meats. I also ate incredibly small portions as well.  I may or may not have had a bite of sugar free deserts as well.

My pants are now too lose, uncomfortably so..... So I decided to go to target and see my new size.  I was able to fit into this.....

A size 12 pant and Small Shirt (women's)

 



 

The pants were too expensive (bordering on the $30.00 range) so we decided to hit the shelves at D.I (a church owned thrift store) and I was also able to fit the same sizes there, but I decided not to purchase any of the items, feeling that I am not worth it. This transformation is already costing a pretty penny.

Since Dean was terminated from his job last week, I debated for quite some time weather or not I should place another food order. This process was nothing more then turmoil. Then, the monthly bills began to come in... only to find out that some of them, have been paid previously. I had paid some of the bills in advanced, in order to prepare for the storm that we were going to be in the midst of.  Because I had paid off some bills in advanced, it would free up the money to be able to afford another order of food. My current supply of food is running thin, but I now have four people donating me their undesired items.  I hate mango, and one of the items that was donated to me was a mango soft serve, but before I decided to try it, I decided to tell myself that I liked mango, and that I could not afford to not accept, and eat the free offerings. My hours also significantly increased, so together, Dean and I made the decision, that we can't afford not to purchase the food order. I am so close to reaching the finish line, if I were to go off plan now, it would cost more in the long  run, because my body would of been thrown out of fat burn mode.  So, this morning,  I purchased another order of food! I am really excited because it is more traditional "real food" instead of just bars and pretzels, which I have been eating non-stop, since February.

Also, the six week to summer slim down challenge is also underway. I am not participating in it, but I have been watching other people participate in it, I am glad that I am choose not to participate in it. There has been one problem after another, with the website crashing (thus not allowing people to accrue there points in the original manner) , no one receiving enough clear instructions, etc.   I am just glad that I chose not to participate in this circus of an activity.

Well, as you know Monday's in my official weigh in day.... Today I weighed in at 175! That means I have lost a grand total of 71 pounds (from my highest!)
