Not weighing myself is HARD!

So, why do they tell you not to weigh in daily? I forget the logic to that!
I have been on SparkPeople for a while now, and they advocate a weekly weigh in. ...AWEEK??? WHA?!?.... You telling me, I gotta wait a whole 7 days to know if I am loosing??? HELLS NO!
That sounds silly to me, especially for me! I'm a numbers FREAK! And I love to chart out my success (and failure) in an Excel chart. (Yes, I'm a Spreadsheet geek! LOL) But for me it shows me how far I've come, and if in fact my efforts are paying off! (I first did this with a pencil and paper back in College when I first got back to working out. I managed to loose 10 pounds in 4 months (January to April 1997) just by adding regular exercise to my day and avoiding candy and chips! (Remember Jenny?... that was when we were hitting the NAIT gym! Oh those days!) For some reason I continued with the exercise, but my diet sure did go back to the way it was back then! Anyways, the nutrition plan I'm on seems to be kicking my body back into DRIVE and I am able to function on a lot fewer calories (without feeling hungry!) then I thought!!! :)
WHO KNEW???

I actually woke up EARLY (6:30) this morning to eat my breakfast at home, rather then pack it with me and eat it at work an hour or more later. My stomach was growling by 10 though... but I had packed a snack of minute oats, soy milk and berries. What a great pre-workout snack! :) I feel ready to hit the gym now... especially now that I know my body's running on almost 30 g of protein :)

Cleansing

I started taking my cleanse pills a day early (on Sunday) because I ended up buying a different cleanse kit then my friends did. (Theirs is only a 12 day kit, mine is a 15 day one) The pills smell so repulsive that I gag everytime I take them! (No wonder they tell you to take them on an empty stomach!!!) I think that's the worst part of this cleansing thing... the diet really isn't that bad. I am still allowed to eat a lot of things I would normally eat anyways.

I had my yearly physical yesterday. :( I hate the weighing in part! My doctor humored me by starting off the weight on the scale very light... but unfortunately the big dial at the bottom had to be moved. :( *tear*.

This was the look on my face as I was weighed yesterday!

VV Boutique

I had the day off today, so I planned to sleep in and run a few errands... which included buying some new clothes! (I have to admit, I've gained some weight since I met Collin and my clothes are very ill fitting now because of it! So off to shop for some FAT clothes I go!)

As unexcited as I am to shop for fat clothes, I decided to soften the blow by going to a thrift store so at least I don't end up paying a small fortune for these clothes that I don't really want to buy!
MAN, I miss shopping at Thrift stores!!! I got 5 pairs of work pants, and 2 pairs of jeans for $55.00 including GST! What a deal! (I could have spent more, but I had to pee really bad, and I couldn't bare to try on any more clothes in that state!) I will have to make another trip to VV Boutique (when I've got an empty bladder) to pick up some shirts next time.

(Or I could just try loosing 10 pounds. ...If it were only THAT easy!)

Feeling puffy.

Well, I wore my new favorite skort to the gym today (as a participant) and as I saw myself in the mirror I was like "Who's that chubby girl?" Ugh!

Since I started SparkPeople (like a month ago)... I've actually gained weight!!! (... and I'm consiously trying NOT to!!! ....That is the part that is extremely deflating to me :( )

I have no idea what is wrong with my body right now!
NO.IDEA.
