Changing For The Better

Okay, so I'm the type of person that has been on this diet long enough to know that if I don't know how many calories are in something, I won't eat it. I usually bring my food everywhere I go so I'm not tempted to eat everything in sight without knowing how many calories are in it. Today was the day when I had to put my lifestyle changes that I've learned to the test.

Let me just say that going out of my house (my comfort zone) to a friend's house for hours is very hard for me to do. Especially if I do not bring any of MY food with me. I go over there and so far I've only eaten breakfast that had 260 calories in it. I get over here and it's lunchtime. I make myself a cheese sandwich and grab a 100 calorie pack of goldfish. Dinner is explained below...:)

So, today, right now, I'm at Scott's house and what does his dad call Scott for? He calls him to ask him to call in for pizza. That is the one thing that I love, but know has way too much sodium for me to have and too many calories. So, I refuse to eat that and Randy and I go to get Subway. I passed up Little Caesar's pizza for Subway. How good was I? Scott and I have a quick little discussion and he says he's not ready to lose weight right now, but he's doing well because he's had 3 slices instead of 4 or 5 slices. Yes, I believe he did a good job, BUT he's been having pizza almost everyday for a week now it seems :(. I really wish he could get his butt in gear and want to lose weight. He has me to help guide him to looking and feeling better, but if HE'S not ready, HE will not lose the weight. I was like that too when I was thinking about losing weight. He'll eventually get to the point where he wants to lose weight, but until then, pizza anyone?

So all in all I have had 1,085 calories and it's only 6:45 pm. Yay!! I now have more than enough for a snack later today when I get home or later here and I feel awesome. Tomorrow is Weigh-In number 3 for the June Challenge and I know I'm not going to gain any weight.

I've been weighing myself daily all week ONLY because I was starting my period and I wanted to see if I gain weight when I start. Did I? NO!! I have been 181 lbs all week long :) I don't think I'll see a gain (hopefully...haven't eaten that much to gain) and I think it'll be the same number. Yes, I'm still bloated, but I know once I'm done, I'll lose the water weight that is sticking to me lol.

I can't wait to get out of the 180's :)
