What I Weigh Today

149.5/PPE

24 days down/7 days to go

One week remains. If I ever do this again, I’m not choosing a month with five weekends. What was I thinking? That said, the weekend wasn’t bad or anything. I was home all weekend, working, cooking, reading, watching TV–all my favorite weekend activities. This week I actually made a meal plan and I have just one restaurant visit scheduled, so it should be smooth sailing until Friday. Hopefully being so close to the end will give me an added motivation boost to pull me through the final prohibition weekend.

Weekends are my nemisis, and the secret to my “hovering”. (I don’t do maintenance, it’s too hard, so I hover instead.) I claim them to be my secret because I’m sure that I lose three pounds during the week, then gain them back on Friday, Saturday and Sunday!
