Well, I haven't posted foods in the last few days. Things have been pretty busy for me. Worked right thru lunch on Thursday and never ate. By the time I did eat around supper time I was feeling pretty icky from not eating all day. That probably wasn't such a smart idea. Does that really throw my body into starvation mode? If so, I'm sure my pigging out this weekend went entirely to my butt! It started Friday with supper and just got worse on Saturday.
I weighed myself Friday morning at I was actually at 157.8! WOO HOO!!

I wanted so bad to raid my kids' parade candy (everyone on the parade floats throws candy to the crowds along the route), but I managed to control myself and did not have a single piece. I knew if I had just one I wouldn't be able to stop. We walked all over the place all day long, but it was at a pretty slow pace because my very pregnant sister was with us and we wanted to make sure she could keep up. That's all the exercise I got though.
My jerk of a brother in law showed up after supper (he was working). I can't tolerate that man on a good day, and that day I was chock full of PMS. I swear he just does/says stuff to push my buttons and piss me off!!! My sister had told him that I was thinking of getting my hair cut and he kept suggesting all of these very short hairstyles that he thought were cute and that I HATED. But he was very rude about it. I prefer long styles and my own hair is waist length at the moment. I personally think long hair is sexy. And if I do cut it, it's going to be a long style. Not the chopped off styles that he kept suggesting where you can't tell if the person is male or female.
I think she also must have told him that I've lost quite a bit of weight lately, while he himself has gained almost 10 lbs since the first of June. He kept offering candy, chips and other junk food. And right before we were going to leave for the night and head home to bed he kept nagging me to have some ice cream. If I were going to eat something that was pure calories, ice cream wouldn't be my first choice. I've just never been a big fan of the stuff. He just kept nagging and nagging utill I got so pissed that I packed up my kids and walked out.
When I got home I weighed myself and I was up to 162! BOO HOO! Up 5 lbs from Friday morning!
Today has been a much better day. Auntie Flow has showed up for her monthly visit and it's like someone shuts off the PMS switch as soon as it starts. I did pretty good food wise. I was really dragging my feet about exercising though. So I made a deal with myself - if I went running I could have 1 fun sized Milky Way candy bar. So my 7 year old daughter and I went out and ran/walked. For the first half mile we'd run 1 minute, walk 1 minuted. Then for the last half mile I ran 1 minute 30 seconds, and walked for 30 seconds. My daugher couldn't keep up by the last half mile (she was pretty sore and tired from so much running around the day before) so while she walked I would run ahead, then run back to her so that I kept up the pace while she walked. I have a feeling I'm going to be REALLY sore tomorrow. My thighs and shins hurt already. I did pick up a sports bra after work on Friday, so using Jjjay's tip of wearing a regular underwire bra under a sports bra I managed to run fairly well without feeling like my chest was beign ripped apart by the time I finished. And my shoulders aren't sore at all this time.

Well, I have to get up for work in 4 hours, so I better hit the hay! It's gonna be a grueling couple of days at work since my project goes live tomorrow morning. It's been over a year and a quarter of a million dollars in the making. I'll be glad to close this baby out and start on the next project.
G'Night all!
A coworker saw me at our all staff meeting this week and asked me about what I'd been doing to lose so much weight and I mentioned in addition to watching what I eat, I was starting to run. She said her parents were moving into an assisted living facility at the end of the month and they had a treadmill that the new place doesn't have room for. Besides, the facility comes with a very nice fully equipped gym. She said I would be doing them a favor if I would come and pick it up - for nothing! 
Consequently I've gained a couple of pounds (ok 3)over the weekend.
