Women, Phenomenally

I didn't have any weight loss this week but no gain either. I imagine that the no loss is from not walking every day. I was a little disappointed but not surprised. I was also disappointed this week when I started pulling out clothes I haven't worn in a long time looking for something to wear to Levi's wedding and the clothes still fit the same as the last time I put them on, too tight in the belly. My legs are getting nice and thin and strong looking and I've lost that extra butt I was carrying around but still the belly. I know, I know, it will go eventually. I have these brief moments of discouragement and wanting to just give up but they don't last. I am not giving up.
I did have a couple of encouraging moments this week, too. A friend of ours who we hadn't seen in a couple of months stopped by to visit and he actually noticed that I am losing weight. And, today after the wedding the kids wanted to go eat at Golden Corral (huge buffet) and I did not overeat. I had a small Caesar salad, a little crab, and a few vegetables. I felt satisfied and full and not like I was being deprived for not getting to eat a ton of rich, fattening stuff I didn't need. When we left everyone else was moaning and groaning but not me. I was amazed at how disciplined I can be now.
Hopefully, next week will be a little calmer and I can get back into my regular routine.

For my free day this weekend I have decided to do just one meal where I eat whatever I want and not feel guilty about it. We are going to go out somewhere so there won't be leftovers to lust after. I think that will work better for me and I won't feel like I am having to start all over again come Monday.

Hope everyone has a blessed weekend!
