Yeah, I'm a loser... the BIGGEST LOSER!

I know I didn't detail my food and exercise on here for yesterday, but that was just because of a down-ish day.  My food was pretty on the mark, although I did eat two slices of cheese pizza & one breadstick.  

The cool thing is, I tried putting my slice of pizza down in between each bite.  It took a lot of strength (of character) to not wolf it down, but in the end I was much more satisfied, enjoyed the flavour of the pizza and felt full much faster.  On top of that, the guilt associated with eating two pieces of pizza is a lot less than the guilt associated with eating four pieces of pizza!  Go me!

I didn't go to the gym yesterday and that has left me with overwhelming guilt.  Funny that. I didn't go because my parents were leaving in the morning to go back home and I wanted to spend time with them.  Does that excuse me from not doing exercise at some other part of the day?  Absolutely not.  On Monday I will be right back on track :)

Food
Tall skinny vanilla latte (it was super good, I think because I haven't been indulging in very many)
Veggie & 'cheese' sub on whole wheat with one stripe of light mayo
Can of Coke Zero - yum
2 Laura Secord chocolate
Can of Diet Pepsi
1/2 basmati rice
1 cup vegan homemade chili
1 potato chip
2 cup air popped popcorn
100 calorie McCain's cake thingy
8 oven chips

Oh man... that food sounds terrible.  Must improve on that.  Can't let that 6 pound weight loss this week go to my head!

Exercise
Nothing really.  I normally take the weekends off.  T and I walked around the mall for a while... that's gotta count for something... right?!

Hmm, my personal goal for this week is to drink more water.  Of course it's also to keep on keepin' on with what I'm doing.

In other news, I was the Biggest Loser today at Chub Club - woo hoo!  I lost 6 pounds this week and finally get to rid myself of that darn large marble (CC members will understand this). Since starting at Chub Club I have lost a total of 13 pounds - YAY!!!  I was awfully taken aback by such a big weight loss this week, but I'm not complaining.

Actually the other nice thing that happened to me was I went and tried on clothes at Reitman's. I hadn't tried on clothes in a while because after feeling discouraged by how awful things have looked on me, I wasn't exactly inspired to do it again.  Nonetheless, I felt inspired because Spring is on its way and I now have an appreciation for saying goodbye to snow, etc, etc.  The clothes that I picked didn't look good and I felt kind of sooky about it.  Then I stopped and thought for a moment.  The clothes didn't look good because the style didn't suit me, not because they were too small!  YAY!  I forced myself to look in the mirror and smile at myself and think positive thoughts.  So cheesy, I know.  Thing is, if I'm going to change my way of thinking about myself, it has to start somewhere, right?

Oh yeah, I now weigh 185.2 pounds.
