I’m at the 10 pound mark!!!

This means that what I’m doing is actually WORKING! Saying no to second servings, no to dessert (most of the time), no to french fries and most junk food…it’s actually doing the trick! I haven’t even started working out yet!

I’m not as strict with myself on the weekends as I am during the week. So yesterday we went to a family barbecue and had SO much fun. They had a live band, and there were probably 75 people there. TONS of food, but I was good. I had a burger, a little potato salad, baked beans and a handful of chips. I drank tea (no soda still) for the first glass…but nothing but water after that. Then at dessert I had some  homemade butterfinger ice cream. That was my splurge…so I tossed in a little piece of chocolate cake with it. It was SO good!

I absolutely refuse to feel guilty for having fun. I don’t have anyone nagging me about my weight…I’m doing this for myself, so the only person to put pressure on me is ME…and I’m NOT GOING TO!

Anyway…I’m going this afternoon to pick up a stair-stepper from a lady that saw my ad on freecycle. If you’ve never heard of freecycle, it’s a website where people can list things they want to get rid of, or for people to list things they need. (It reduces clutter in landfills from things that you don’t want, but maybe someone else does.) I put an ad in for exercise equipment…and she answered right away. Hey, the BEST stuff is FREE stuff!

It’s been in the 100’s here…and the humidity makes it just suffocating outside. It’s hard on a body! I’m drinking tons of water, and wearing my sunscreen. …I’m ready for summer to start winding down!

Alright…lots to do here before the new week starts so that’s all for now. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
