Ok, so I actually waited a whole week to weigh myself (quite an accomplishment

) and I weigh exactly the same. Well, not exactly but close enough. 126 lbs. The good thing about this is all I did was shrug. No crash diet plans or re-evaluating what I am doing to make some crazy overhaul. I feel really good. My body feels a little less squishy and a little more toned and I have been really consistent w/ my workouts. So, I'm going to chalk this one up to muscle gain, fat loss. I have been trying to listen to what I want, within the parameters of my diet, and it's making me feel really good. I know it's stupid but yesterday I was having NF cottage cheese + watermelon and wanted seconds. Nothing huge just extra 1/2 c. cottage cheese and another slice of watermelon. I started to feel guilty that it wasn't in the "plan" or more than I "should" be eating, but I went for it. I tried to soothe the negative thinking with just trying to remind myself that more "healthy" is better than more "other" (also my exercise strategy- running is better than walking, walking is better than sitting, do what you need to do, easy up on yourself) and that it was healthy fuel for my engine. I know it's dumb but it's those little things that help with the balance. Not too much. Not too little. Today I had a chocolate truffle too. I haven't had chocolate for while. It was great. It's nice to be able to stop at 1. It was nice to just eat it and enjoy it and not be using it for something else and then strategize when the next time I would or wouldn't allow myself to have chocolate. Yes, it's a work in progress. We'll see what happens with the weight.
