Day 21

So far I have lost a total of 11.5 pounds! YAY! I feel like I'm in a pretty good rhythm now. I was only able to work out last Monday and Tuesday, Tuesday was the last day of my trial membership. However Wednesday we went to Six Flags and walked a good amount. I need to mow the yard tomorrow, now that would be a great workout!

I feel a little tempted every now and then to eat something I shouldn't. For instance Asher came home with a bag of chips that everyone was munching on. I ate a chip and thought, man these are tasty. As I was going for a second bite I read the nutritional information. 10 grams of fat in 11 chips! I tossed the bag as far away from me as I could and asked him to not bring anything like this home! Most people who are eating chips eat two or three times the serving suggestion (if not the whole bag) and that's more fat than I'm trying to incorporate in my diet for the whole day. Lately when I see something I want I ask myself a question, would you rather eat that, or see the number on the scale go down tomorrow? If anyone else is trying to lose weight, I tell you this question is a great motivator. Plus I eat a serving of fat free frozen yogurt almost every night, so I really don't feel like I'm depriving myself.

I would write more, but it's late and Selah is crying...this continual teething is for the birds!
