Day 35 - Week 5 Complete!

Weigh-in day!! I'm prepping myself for an 5 lb loss. 2.5 lbs per week. If this is the case I'm gonna have to triple my working out.

And in that vein...I've signed up with a local community center with both an indoor and outdoor pool! I will be swimming everyday, getting in lots of exercise. I love to swim so this is perfect!

I think that one of the side effects of begin so open about what I am doing is having so many people want to know how my progress is going. I have some asking me how much I want to lose, what my final goal is, etc. I've managed to avoid answering them - some things stay private. But it's odd to have people ask those questions. Part of me wants to say "How much do YOU weigh?" lol! But that's not fair, they aren't putting their weight and weight-loss plan on display for everyone to discuss. Doesn't stop it from being uncomfortable though.

I am really excited to start going to the gym and swimming everyday. I want to see my weight loss numbers go up, 2.5 - 3 lbs a week just isn't enough considering I don't eat anything anymore. I need those numbers to be at 5 lbs per week.

So, I need to confess...I did the chew and spit thing again. I did it yesterday, Monday and then last Tuesday. Yesterday it was a McD's cheeseburger & fries. Monday it was wheat thins and dip, last Tuesday was bean burrito. Chew chew chew....spit - GROSS! But so good! Chew chew chew...spit - GROSS!! But so good! lol! That's my mantra as I'm doing it.

Yes, I know it's bad, I know it's not healthy, but I also know that I don't want to SWALLOW the food either. But to taste it! OMG! so awesome. And it's funny with each food I do it with, I have no more desire for that food because all I can remember is what it looked like after I spit it out. lol! I'm not advocating this, I know this is bad. I'm simply being honest about my process and how I'm managing to get through it.

Last night after work I went home, did my secretive Chew/Spit thing, then went into my room and watched TV. I tried to keep moving, I used my hand weights and just kept my legs moving.

I also need to fast for 4 hours before my appointment tonight, so I will be one hunger girl tonight in our meeting! lol! Wish me luck 0 Readers!
