swingchickie | [weight loss] i rule, chapter 2

gotta pat myself on the back when i can, so i can look back when i'm hitting a low...

i honestly don't know where i'm getting this self-control from. it's almost like i'm having a contest with myself to see how good i can be each day. went to chili's today with co-workers, and completely stayed away from the chips and salsa... not a single chip went in my mouth. even my guy co-worker noticed, and commented that he was impressed i wasn't eating any, considering how hard they were chowing down on them. i ordered a burger with no bun, side of guacamole, and veggies instead of fries. and drank 2 huge glasses of unsweetened iced tea. tonight i'm going dancing, i'm crossing my fingers that i'll wake up another 1/2 pound lighter. whee!

oh, and breakfast was a "south beach diet" brand frozen dinner. it was good to get away from eggs for a while.

pulled a recipe from online that i'm going to try this weekend. they're brownies made with whole wheat flour, and i'm going to substitute splenda for the sugar. it's quite possible that they'll taste nasty, but it's worth the try for those weeks when i'm craving chocolate...

goal next week: see if my old suits from last year fit. i think they will, since i'm back down to the weight i was when i moved from boston. i need those suits for work in a few days, so cross your fingers for me!
