Day 26

Yesterday wasn't my lowest weigh-in, today is! :)

I was down a pound this morning.

So in the past 25 days, I have lost 8.6 pounds.

I am happy. Sometimes I read articles on how to lose 20 - 30 pounds per month, or even 5 pounds per week. Wouldn' that be nice?! But no, I am happy for this and it's so close to 10 pounds! Once i hit that I will be doubly happy!

I did the diet the past 3 days. I kind of like having a strict diet for 3 days, because I know that if I really want something, I just have to wait a day or two to have it. And that's totally tolerable.  (Ok, right after I wrote that I did remember that I cheated yesterday and had a tortilla with beans and cheese. I got pretty hungry between lunch and dinner). But that was it. And i drank a ton of water to help curb my appetite.

I'm not sure what I will eat today. I have been looking at a lot of budgeting blogs and how people plan out all of their meals and only go grocery shopping once per month. (This lady also has a huge freezer and put milk/yogurts/cheeses/a LOT of things in there to store for the month). But if I plan and even go twice a month, I would totally do that. I usually plan for the week, but I feel like it takes up more money doing that (I also read the same thing).

So today I think I am going to go through some blogs, write down recipes, figure out breakfasts/lunches/dinner, and do it for 2 weeks. (but won't bananas go bad?!) I don't know what I will do yet, but I just want to be smarter grocery shopping and with money spent there. And not letting Jon come with me, because all of a sudden we 'need' this and that. (I don't think we needed it until he saw it on the shelf, though. haha).

I AM going to have a bowl of cereal, though. The frosted mini wheats have been sitting on the counter calling my name.
