YAY!!! The plateau has FINALLY broken! I don’t know why..but for some reason I really just thought that this whole “plateau ” thing would not happen to me?! But, sure enough..just like everything that I’ve read…it started the Monday of week 3 and lasted until Friday! I stuck to the plan..and I think that’s what helped the scale finally move on Friday..but pheww GLAD that’s over!

Today has been the hardest day so far to stay on the diet..I will be honest here..finally..after dinner tonight which I had some ground beef and green beans, I broke down and went to the store and bought sugar free popsicles…now, I don’t know if that’s what I would consider ‘cheating’ ..BUT, it’s not on the approved food list..so take that however you want haha. I did do the research first to find out..’IF” you were going to cheat..what would be the best thing to do it with..and this was the conclusion that I came to. They literally have NOTHING in them except 15 calories..so how bad can it really be?? Guess I’ll find out in the morning =(

For some reason..probably because I was bored and just laid around all day watching TV i.e. lazy sunday!, and maybe it was just habit that I was hungry…and I found myself daydreaming about pizza and ice cream and french fries HAHA it was really funny when I realized what I was thinking about HA.  I hope it’s not like this the whole week…but usually I stay busy all day so I’m sure this was part of it!

I spent quite awhile yesterday just trying on clothes in my closet again..I went down another size..so I’m ‘almost’ back into a 12!! The 14’s are fitting very comfortably..maybe a little loose..so that’s VERY exciting!

Oh..and another interesting thing that happened at church this morning…I was sitting there and out of the blue realized..I WAS CROSSING MY LEGS!! I think this may have been the first time in a few years that I’ve comfortably sat with my legs crossed! Its amazing the little things that being overweight has an impact on =( And there’s just something inherently feminine about being able to cross your legs…anyway..it was very cool!

I also started eating a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese as replacement for my lunch ‘meat’ on occasion..which is usually chicken for lunch and dinner..and I’m afraid I’m getting a little burnt out with the chicken..and I LOVE cottage cheese and really missed having dairy in my diet..so I added this in yesterday and again today and it was great!

So..that’s all for now, I’m hoping to stay consistent with the 1lb loss per day..at this pace, I should reach my total goal of 165lbs by my birthday..Sep. 5!!
