I say 48 hours to first "official" weigh-in because I have been weighing myself each morning. If my scale is anything like the one at the meeting on Thursday, I should be down a few pounds, which I'd be thrilled with. Last week was just so scary on the scale that any loss will be greatly celebrated!
I've been eating pretty well this week. It was almost fun to shop for food this past weekend. I treated myself to some great low fat treats and lots of fruit. I LOVE the grapefruit that I've gotten at the store lately, so that has become my treat at lunch time. With it being finals week, our schedule is completely messy at school, but I have totally resisted the urge to stop at Starbucks for a Non-Fat Peppermint Hot Chocolate (without the whipped cream). I'm enjoying my oatmeal and my sugar free French Vanilla Cafe each morning. In fact, I really have no desire to stop at Starbucks, which is fine with me. And usually at lunch time, in the past, we'd go out. But I've stayed in to eat my SmartOne's lunch and grapefruit.
As for working out, now that is ANOTHER story. Not to make excuses, but I'm tired. Really tired. I haven't been sleeping well. John and I are talking about buying a house, which means the stress of putting the condo on the market. Additionally, I'm stressed out about taking on Senior Composition again. So when I lay my head down on the pillow, I usually can't fall asleep until near 1 AM. I am trying to get to bed earlier, which will get me rested. I do intend on calling the gym tomorrow to set up my first training appointment for sometime next week. John got me four training sessions for Christmas with a female trainer at the gym. I hope she is better than my last trainer, and I certainly hope she can help me get into working out again, because quite frankly, I'm dreading going back...
Well, I promise to post after my weigh-in on Thursday. Lori and I are going to the meeting, then out for a little dinner, then to a meeting at the Senior Citizen's Center in Gahanna, where the Parks and Recreation Department is holding a meeting about establishing a walking and running club in Gahanna. I am DEFINITELY interested. After all, I would diet for that...

Good luck at the weigh in on Thursday. I hope your down a good handfull of pounds!
Something that motivated me to go to the gym was looking at cute guys. So while there alow yourself to look, I bet DH will be fine with it.
Good Luck at your weigh in!!
Good job staying away from Starbucks! I get the nonfat WITH whip hot chocolate, so I know that addiction all too well! But you're staying away, which is great for your health AND your checkbook!
GL at your weigh in!
Good luck at your weigh-in, Kristen! I hope your home scale is right! It sounds like you've been making great choices!
Sounds like you've had a great first week. Just take one week at a time and you'll do great! Do you still have that treadmill downstairs? My suggestion is NO matter how tired you are, get on it for 5 minutes. If you are completely dead and can't keep going, get off. Changes are, you'll feel good and will be able to walk for 30 minutes or so. Turn on some trashy tv (like MTV or the like) and time wil fly. All you need to do is move for 30 minutes and you're ahead of the game. Might help you sleep at night too! :) I know it's hard, but putting all the pieces together is going to be so great for you! Love ya!
