Measurements...
I probably should measure myself again, but I'm going to be a busy, busy woman from now until Sunday. Besides, I'm pretty much at a stand-still/plateau with my weight loss. I'm hovering around 180 and I've NOT been exercising, so I don't know that there will be any significant changes. Still, eventually, I'll get more measurements just to compare and track progress. I need to keep moving forward.

I didn't get up until 7:30 this morning, so I got plenty of sleep!
WEIGHT at 7:45 AM was 177 pounds!
8:30 AM - 6 oz. strawberry yogurt
11:00 AM - 8 to 10 almonds and 2 popsicles
11:30 AM - cottage cheese (fat free) & salad (mixed greens with chicken, cheddar chz, almonds, and oild & vinegar)
12:50 PM - 2 popsicles
2:30 PM - more cottage cheese & a small slice of pumpkin pie (In honor of Pi Day!)
6:00 PM - Salad & 2 popsicles
9:00 PM - another salad (Emotional eating....I was upset & sad about a few things.)
OK, so later I was still sad & disappointed, so much so that I couldn't sleep. I gave in and had 6 oz. of yogurt around 11 PM. Even later, around midnight, I pulled the left over fettucini from the fridge, warmed it up and ate it. That was a lot of food. I actually started feeling sick towards the end of it. Simply put, at this point, I DON'T CARE.

Sunday, March 13th
After the long snowmachine ride yesterday and then moving the clock forward, combined with the lack of sleep the night before due to a few middle-of-the-night phone calls, I am feeling TIRED and my eyes are really showing it. (I think it's mostly from being in the cold air all day yesterday, but my right eye is especially puffy and bloodshot.)
10:00 AM - Omelet (2 eggs, chicken, cheese, and cilantro)
12:30 PM - Went out with a friend and ate Fettucini Alfredo w/chicken
4:00 PM - one Fudgesicle
4:30 PM - one Vitamin Water (I've been drinking only water since mid-January.)
I woke up with a headache and took 2 Tylenol around 10AM. By the time I was eating lunch, I could feel it again, but it was too soon to take more medicine, so I tried to ignore it. Later around 5, I was feeling terrible, so I left a friend's house (where she'd made a nice dinner, but the thought of eating just made me feel a wee bit sick) to go home, take more Tylenol, and lay in bed with my eyes covered. After awhile I subsided, so I got up and did a bit of laundry, but then I was exhausted and back in bed and asleep by 8PM.

Missing Days
Sooooo.....I've been horrible at keeping up with my blog lately for a
variety of reasons, BUT, the good news is that I've stayed on my diet
for the most part. I've been doing The South Beach Diet for awhile and
am in Phase 2. I've only strayed from it a few times like last
Saturday when a student brought me 4 chocolate chip cookies, and last Monday when a coworker made some cookies for me also. ( I think I had about 4 of those also, and gave the rest away.) On Thursday, March 3rd, I hit the 20 pounds mark. The scale read 180!!!!
Now, I've had a girls' weekend and pigged out. It'll be interesting to see what the scale says when I get back home. I guess I'm not too worried. I plan to start my diet again on Monday!
