Day 17

Oy! This has been a terrible, terrible week. I can't wait until it's over (24 hours until weigh in). Again, tonight I didn't like my supper. So I had to substitute. I've been following the caloric limits so I think I'll be okay but part of me believes that there is some magic in Jenny's food & if I don't eat their food than I'm not going to loss weight?! Guess we'll see.

I've decided to start tracking everything (& I mean everything right down to mustard) to see exactly how many calories I am consuming each day. Also so that I can see how much of what I am eating is carbs, protein or fat. I'm pretty much a numbers & graphs person so I like http://www.fitday.com/ because there are percentages and pie charts...hmmm pie.

So today there were more temptations at work: cake & timbits. Though I wasn't really craving either one so I was okay. On a temptations scale of 1 to 5 I'd give today a 1. I wonder why some days are more difficult than others? I'm sure there are way too many factors to pinpoint the answer to that question.

The Biggest Loser was on tonight and that show never ceases to inspire me. Jeff went into the show weighing 370 lbs and now he weighs 240 lbs (oh, and he's 6'1 so that's a really respectable weight). I'm sure he'll need a little bit of skin surgery judging from the after shots, but boy does he still look great. This episode also featured one of the contestants, Andrea, cheating and eating brownies. The way I thought about her in the moment was like a mini wake up call to myself. Do I really need those treats? They'll still be there once I hit my goal weight...
