Back at it again!

Well, it's been ages since I last wrote - and I'm scared to check out the scales. I knew that things would not be good during report card writing time, but unfortunately, then came the rest of the end of the year stuff. So, tomorrow, I have to stand on the scale again - I'm going to be really mad at myself if I have put on all the weight that I worked so hard to take off in the previous two months. Anyway, although we have all sorts of things happening in the next two weeks and it would be easy to say 'let's get serious after that', we decided to start back at it today. So, this morning, I ate Select cereal with milk, for lunch, I ate a tuna sandwich with pickled beets, snack was yogurt and fruit and supper was barbecued chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans. I was talking with Mike about how much better I feel after just one day of eating healthy. Mike says he even notices how his skin feels better when he eats better. I had my picture taken with some friends at the end of school and I couldn't believe how big I looked. It's weird how I don't see myself like that - I rarely look in the mirror - so, this was a good wake-up call. I think that I will get Mike to make a photo of one of the shots that I can put on the fridge so I am reminded of what I look like. I have heard of sites on the net, too, where you can put in a photo of yourself and then it will take pounds off the photo so that you can see what you will look like when you lose weight. I think that having that on the fridge, too, will keep me positive. :-)
