My First Week Without a Scale

Tonight is the night!  My first week without a scale.  I can honestly say that I have NO earthly clue what my weight is.  I'm anticipating a little bit of a loss, because I have done better this week.  I haven't counted my points to the tee--but I know that I've been within 5 points every day since Monday.  Removing the scale was the best decision that I could've made at this point in my journey.  I've always used it to keep me in line--and a lot of the time it has worked.  Recently, however, I've been using the stagnant number to justify eating things I shouldn't eat.  At that point--it's time to say bye bye bye.  I've been quite a bit more conscious of everything that I've eaten this week.

Know what's funny?  Is that I wear the exact same thing to my weigh in every week, but now it's cold, so I have to add at least 1/2 pound because you know, jeans weigh more than shorts.  I'm such a rigid person sometimes.  I like the controls to be the same in my experiments--because then I know it's "true"  Some personalities may not understand that, and I even annoy myself. 

For Lunch I had taco bell--I ate 2 soft taco's and an order of steak taquito's with the guacamole.  I'd rather have just had 3 soft tacos and saved myself 4 points.  My lunch totaled 16 points, and has left me with 12 for the remainder of the day.  My extra 35 points start over today though, so I may use a few of them.  Im supposed to meet up with a friend after my meeting, and I'm hoping that she will see how good of a choice some mexican fajita's are!!  I swear I'm a fajita junky.  They're fairly  healthy if you don't eat a thousand tortilla's, and just limit yourself to a couple of bites of rice, or no rice at all.  12 tortilla chips with salsa is 3 points--not too bad.  I get 36 points a day. 

I've got lot's to do until it's time for my weigh in, so I'll check back in later taters.
