Weighing in this week...

So...I weighed in Saturday morning. I was down .4 (which is good) but I couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Then I start to analyze my week. Those Snocaps and Blue Icees at the movies this week...not measuring my brown rice EXACTLY...I know I did some exercise this week, maybe it wasn't enough. I have to constantly remind myself that any loss is good. And, if I want to be successful I need to think about EVERYTHING I put in my mouth. I want to be able to enjoy a blue icee every once in awhile...but why does the movie theater make it so hard to do? Their smallest size is 32 oz....I really only want about 12 oz...and I would even settle for 8 oz. I have been in long discussions with the cashier at the counter about are you SURE this is the smallest cup you have...and why can't I have the small water cup you give out with something in it...charge me if you must...but please, let me enjoy this without making a HUGE mistake for the week!! They are very insistent...they can't charge me $4.50 for the tiny cup...and there are no other cups. I wonder if I bring my own cup if they will fill it for me and charge me the price...I will try that next time! I see myself drinking blue icees in my future...I just don't think I can justify a 32 oz one!! I am so happy to report that most other places are very amenable with my requesting smaller portion sizes...and often they will give me a discount...I am always willing to pay full price...and I think that is why people will work with me! For all of you movie theater owners and managers out there...try offering a few figure friendly sizes! I won't be as tempted to sneak in my own food!!

So, after weighing in I always think about how my week will go...planning the meals and exercise, trying to anticipate times I will be tempted to do things I shouldn't with food. This week I am getting a 6 lb bone in turkey breast. I will put it in the crock pot tomorrow and from that have turkey, turkey with feta and veggie pitas, turkey tostadas, and just plain turkey sandwiches. I think it will be a good week!
