Day 27 - 138

I weighed in at 138 today. Mind you, it was 138.ZERO and last night before bed, I weighed 139.7! That is a record for me as far as weighing in at night goes. I remember not so long ago when it was pretty routine to weigh 148-150 before I went to bed. I remember vowing to myself that I will never see the 150's again!

So, I don't know why the scale didn't go down much, and it is frustrating for me, yes - but I'm going to give my ALL to the rest of this challenge and hang. in. there.

Ha ha I just have to share - today I am having a rough go of it again. I have to deal with a stressful situation for the next week and I feel like I NEED food to look forward to, in order to get through it. But I'm not going to give in, I'm just NOT, NOT, NOT!! So I was looking for some type of moody emoticon or face to put on here for the picture. ALL the faces I found were downright angry looking, or they were sad! And it got me to thinking - that is SO lame to be angry or sad about food. Really, really dumb when I have so much going for me! I don't want to be that person who feels sorry for myself, especially when I have so much going for me!

So today whenever I feel that urge to just EAT SOMETHING BAD FOR ME I'm going to focus on thinking about all the positives in my life. Like yesterday as I was loading up the washer with clothes - I am so so thankful for my washer!! With seven children we go through a LOT of clothes and if I don't keep that thing humming a good part of the day - every day - I'm in the land of laundry mountain trouble. Where would I be without it?

So I am thankful today.

And stuffing my face full of green smoothies whenever I want to grab some other food. Funny thing - I seem to be throwing myself into cooking YUMMY things so that I can smell the good smells. I feel like baking (but not eating, like I'm not craving it necessarily) chocolate chip cookies, and homemade white bread. And maybe some type of chicken noodle dinner since I have a bunch in the crockpot to debone and freeze later. Weird, huh.
