I just discovered the joy of Coke Zero today. I hope I never have to drink a diet Coke again. For those of you who don't know, Coke Zero is like diet Coke that actually tastes like Coke! Not that crappy farce of a flavor that is diet Coke.
I bought a new scale yesterday. A digital one that measures weight to the tenth decimal place, and will actually track the weight of two people! It will tell you if you're up or down since the last time you weighed yourself. And it was $20 at Walmart! Nifty.
I've done pretty good the last few days. Some nibbles of stuff here and there, but nothing over 400 calories. I'd be willing to venture closer to the 200-300 cal range. Still can't do cold-turkey-no-cal. Tried it today but got sucked in with free samples at the grocery store. Being poor, I have a really hard time turning down free food. And the Buffalo Chicken dip on a pretzel was freakin' good.
I'm a little frustrated. I seem to have hit a plateau after losing only around 12 lbs. Or both my scales are way off. I'd be willing to venture its me, not them. I'm clinging on to 158-160 lbs. I think I need to start finding time to exercise. But I can look on the bright side and think "When is the last time I've seen '160' on the scale??"
Like my title says, I don't have a chance tomorrow. I'll be with family, eating and drinking. There will be no way out. After the bridal shower (hors d' oeurves, drinks) is the bachelorette party (Italian restaurant, LOTS more drinks) and I will be binge eating and drinking. I've already planned tomorrow as my overboard-day, and have eaten minimally since last weekend. And "Sunday will be eat minimally/nurse-my-wicked-hangover" day. And the following week will be "eat minimally to recover from the calories of tomorrow" day. And who knows, maybe a binge will be what I need to boost my metabolism and break my plateau. Sometimes, the day after a binge, I lose weight. Its counterintuitive but sometimes it works.
Sunday is mondo-exerciso day. Bike five miles to the park, take a long walk through the trails, play a round of frisbee golf by myself, walk some more, bike back home. I'm so excited to exercise Sunday, more excited than I am for tomorrow. Is that weird?
I'm off to weigh myself and take a nice hot bath. Ta-ta for now.
Peace,
Emily

What brand is your new scale? I'm on the lookout for one, but I'm terrible at making uninformed decisions and I have no idea what to look for when shopping scales.
