Okay, This is Ridiculous...

First of all, I missed Fat-Free Friday again. Sorry about that. I lost one pound, by the way. Only 3.2 until goal!

Second, my eating has been TERRIBLE! Well, obviously not TOO terrible (hence the 1 pound weight loss). Mealtime is fine, but I am getting VERY guilty of eating a bite here, a nibble there...and pretending that I haven't! It's such a bad habit to get into, and I really need to make it stop. Also, I've been eating too much sugar, and not enough healthy stuff. I'm so close to my goal, I can't blow it now!

Third, we're eating at the Mandarin tonight for my dad's birthday. Wish me luck.

Fourth - I have a bit of an "in your face" story for you. Well, actually, it's an in MY face story. And I think you might get a chuckle out of it, especially if you read my previous post about why the scale is a jerkbank.

So, you already know that I failed at last week's goal of NOT peeking at the scale in between weigh-ins. (And, for the record, I've already failed again this week - but it's looking good, folks!) I REALLY need to stop that habit...so I'll try that, starting NOW. Anyway...last Thursday, I was dying to take a look, despite the fact that I normally weigh myself on Fridays. Why I couldn't wait just one more day, I have no idea. Anyway, I got myself ready - took off my clothes, went to the bathroom, stepped on the scale, and...

...nothing. The battery had died. So much for my "peeking".

Well played, scale. Well played.

Maybe next week, I'll just have my husband hide the darned thing so that I'm not tempted to jump the gun and look...what do you think?

In other news, I am working on a fairly big craft project that I can't wait to show you guys...but you'll just have to wait until I'm a bit farther along!!! Be patient!
