Week 8 Recap, PARTY and Week 9 Challenge

DID YOU READ THAT HEADER? 

DID!??!?! YOU!??!?! READ!??!?! THAT?!?!!!?! HEADER!??!?!

Week 8 Results: 
I weighed in last week at 165.8. I wanted to just have a slacker week. I wanted to do nothing more than just sit and eat. This week was one of the worst I have experienced in recent memory. I literally powered through with my head down and prayed constantly for something to let up. LOL
Meanwhile, I can honestly say, I did NOT turn to food for comfort. That's a badge in itself I think!

Just this morning I stepped on the scale, fully expecting my hell week to carry over... I'm 164.2. That puts me down 1.6 pounds for the week and .2 pounds under my first goal!!!! 

 I think I fulfilled Chip's challenge to do better than I did last week. I know she's proud of me right now! We are dancing together right now. LOL I think I did fulfill my challenge even though I didn't specifically think about each food, I did think about my overall meals. Not too much on my plate and not too many of the bad things.


I also completed my personal challenge of no fast food breakfasts! I'm SO proud of this one, you don't even know. The number of calories x the taste of the food = negative net enjoyment. I still love me a fountain soda though. :)

 
Week 9 Challenge: Do what you love, but do it without going outside your calorie goal.

If you like to go to the movies, do it but get the "kid meal" of teeny popcorn, snack size M&Ms and a diet coke. It's not good for you but it's not about the food. :)

If you like sitting on the couch and reading, do it without food.Quilting without food is easier, I don't want to get the fabric all yucky. Maybe I should just never stop quilting...

Have a date night with friends or family and pay attention to them, not the food.

I'm guilty of all of these things and also of actively avoiding these types of things because they are rough food situations to be in.
