Lucky weigh-in!

I was 139.5 today! I've been higher the last several days so I wasn't counting on being below 140, but I am, and that's a first for an official weigh-in! Hooray! But (as I said to Daniel, too) this means I have to work really hard to make it stick and not to see an upswing for next week. It's so much easier to be lazy!

Yesterday I went to the gym and did 45 minutes on the bike. I started at level 6 (this is on the "fat burner" workout I always do -- if I just do manual, level 6 is really, really hard) and initially I could feel the flimsiness of my muscles after 5 days away, but it felt good before long, and I did part of the workout at a higher level because my heart rate was being so well-behaved. Even at the higher level it never ventured above 170.

Today I'm planning to try the Dummies DVD -- I've had it for a week and haven't had an opportunity to touch it!

My eating yesterday was terrible. I had my usual breakfast, but then I had about seventy bazillion Girl Scout cookies during the day. Ugh. I also had three slices of chocolate orange, most of a real clementine (February clementines aren't as yummy as December ones, though), a wedge of an apple, a small piece of pizza for lunch, two small pieces of pizza for dinner, a cupcake, a smallish slice of birthday cake, a piece of string cheese, and about a dozen almonds. The almonds and the string cheese were early in the day when I still had hope of eating healthy foods all day -- I think the onset of the cookies came after the lunchtime cupcake.

Today I've had my usual breakfast (I was even especially virtuous and had raisin bran), plus a wedge of apple (swiped from Mary). No junk food yet. I wonder how long I can make this last today?

I'm wanting to hit my goal weight before March 18. That's the date of the school fundraiser casino night and last year a lot of the women showed up looking really snazzy (I was in maternity clothes, and I just wore pants and a niceish top -- I looked too casual). If I can meet my goal weight I'm allowed to buy a new dress for this! I'm also waiting on buying new jeans until I hit the goal weight, and my jeans are all huge on me now (and, by and large, completely shot -- most of them were purchased in the mid-90s), so the sooner, the better!
