Pound by Pound

Thought it might be time for a weight loss update. I hate to keep y'all in suspense. Or make you keep asking. But it's ok to ask too. If you want.

Today when I got on the scale, I weighed 7 pounds less than when I started this. Getting closer to the 10 pound goal! The last few weeks I've lost a pound a week. I liked losing two pounds a week a bit better. But one pound is better than zero pounds. And one pound, is one pound closer to my goal.

This week I learned that egg beaters are not as gross as I thought they might be. And they are definitely better than egg whites only. Seriously, have you ever had JUST egg whites? Don't try it, if you haven't already. Trust me. Eww. Why even bother. I normally don't eat eggs very often, but on the weekends I enjoy two eggs over easy and toast. NOT two egg whites over...well over hard I guess since there is no yoke. So I tried the egg beaters on toast. Not bad, my friends, not bad.

I also learned that I tend to lose more weight if I eat ice cream every night. Call me crazy, but I'm for realz. So if I MUST, I will continue to eat an ice cream treat. I also discovered that whoever stocks the freezer section of the Lemmon grocery store, must be a Skinny Cow hoarder. He/she keeps hiding the Skinny Cow brand ice cream in the very back, and underneath the cheap brand low fat ice cream. I'm on to you Mister, I'm on to you. I think he/she probably watches me freeze my fingers off, trying to un-bury the goods. Not cool.

My last discovery on my journey thus far, is that it really sucks you can't choose where the weight is being melted away from. If I could, I'd choose the belly, obviously. But no, I'm losing my butt. If you find it, let me know. Except I don't really want it back, so never mind. I keep telling myself it will all even out eventually. It will right? My butt and hips were the last place to gain weight, so I guess it makes sense they are the first to lose it as well. Some days I wish I was one of those people with a tiny waist and a huge butt. Minus the huge butt part. How does that work anyway? Someone recently told me, we store fat in our butt and sugar in our waist. Hmmm busted.

Until next time. Keep on. Keeping On.
