and i was prepared for that. i was prepared to see the number go up, and to mentally get set to be strict again this week, to make up for last week, and to start again next monday.

the part i was not prepared for was seeing the actual number.

i stepped on the scale, and could not believe it. it was so different that what i was prepared for.

i actually LOST 1.8 POUNDS!!!!! can you believe it!?!? i can't! i can't believe it! this might work out in the end after all! and maybe i will look good for jenn's wedding, and we'll alter that dress down to a nice petite size and i will look just like the rest of the bridesmaids. which is the point, you know. to all look the SAME. bridesmaids are supposed to make a matched set. we are "bridal accessories" :-)

it seems as though i am actually more strict with myself when i DON"T journal like i should. i over estimate how many points are in the food i ate, so i compensate by being strict. and it is more strict than i needed to be. it was a good accident.

but this week i will be good for real. I promise.

cuz if i could lost 3 more pounds, i get my next star. AND my 10% award.
