Well, I did it - I managed to lose 10-pounds! Hold the applause, I have 41 more to go! I did decide that last night I wouldn't eat. I unfortunately will more than likely have to make that same choice tonight.
Our gym closes at 7, and I don't get out of work until 5. Add in the drive time and the changing, and I'm lucky to get there by 6. I'm training myself, and my body, to know that food will not be consumed after 7PM, for the long run - even once this diet is complete. That will be a difficult challenge, as most dinner parties that we have start at around 8 in the summer - but I think that for the most part - 7PM is a reasonable hour to have stopped eating.
Last night I went to bed at 9:00PM, and this morning woke up at 5:00AM, bright eyed. I couldn't wait to get on the scale. 240.2! Yes, 240.2 - so close to 239 I can taste it, and after a quick trip to take care of my morning duties, I am sure I feel beneath the 240 mark. Having said that - GOODBYE 250's, GOODBYE 240's! I will NEVER see either of you again! ooo, by the way, that means that I am down a total of 10.6 pounds! FROM MONDAY!
Tonight will be a true test of will, the hubs is working late, and after gym it would be a natural process for me to go with the girls to get something to eat - or to hang out at Girl1's and eat all of her kids candy! (Why does she keep that stuff in the house!?)
Saturday, should I lose another 2.5 pounds, marking the quarter mark in my trail, I'm treating myself to a pedicure! Well - actually, if I can find the gift certificate - Girl1 is treating me to a pedicure. That should be nice - and trust me, I need it!

I will not hold the applause! You are a weight loss machine! Wowie and Congratulations :)
great job! that is tough when a gym closes that early, but you seem to be making it work. you don't need a gym to work out anyway. all you need is yourself and drive..which you seem to have. good for you.
