Weigh Day!

Happy Wednesday, Ladies!

It was a morning rush thanks to oversleeping, but I managed to hop on the scale and am proud to announce a current weight of 183!!!

That puts my total weight loss at 12 pounds. (Enter smiley face). My BMI has gone from 33.5 to 31.5 - Yippee! I'm still in the obese range (enter frowney face), but don't plan to be for much longer!

I started back to counting calories Monday and am proud to report that I am doing great sticking to my limit - without feeling cheated at all. Deciding my breakfasts and lunches ahead of time is proving quite helpful as well - especially when trying to decide what to make for that night's dinner.

Sparkpeople.com gives you meal plans, but they are so blah to me. Plus, it's not normal foods for me. Since this is about learning to adapt my diet rather than jumping track to a completely new diet, I rarely eat what they suggest.

I haven't measured myself in a couple of months and need to do that, but am having a hard time finding the time in the morning. To be completely honest, I am just a week into this semester and am totally exhausted. I am not getting enough sleep and therefore am having a hard time getting up each morning.

Based on my calculations, I am supposed to be weighing in at 177 this week. That means I am 5 pounds behind schedule. Maybe I should take the Special K challenge - the one that says you will lose up to 6 pounds in two weeks if you eat Special K for two of your three meals - but somehow it doesn't seem like it is a diet geared to long-term weight loss :-) Thoughts?
