Today is my last day off, before going back to work tomorrow night. Boo! But it's been a really good 3 days off, and tonight should be fun! We're going over to my parents house to have dinner with them, my sisters, and her boyfriend. She's finally introducing him to my parents! So nerve wracking! I remember those days lol. I think she's more worried about how the house looks, than if they'll like him or not! He's a good guy though, and she really loves him, so I think they'll like him too:)
We're having an Italian dinner... !!! Yum, but definitely not going to go well with my "low carb" thing I've got going on. Oh well, it's one day! Besides, I did SO awesome yesterday! I only had 65 grams of carbs, and 24 grams of sugar!! That is amazing for me... not quite sure how I pulled that off:)
So I'm not quite sure what did it, but I had a loss! Could it be cutting back on the carbs? Or, because of my "good luck" dinner that seems to bring me a loss quite often? lol:-P Thursday was Rayna's birthday, and we went out to Sardi's. Normally I get the ceviche de pescado. But, I had ran 5 miles that day, in preparation for that night, so I had 1,700 calories to spare! I got 1/4 white meat chicken, fried yuca, and fried plantains. Mmm mmm mmm! Love it! It really wasn't the healthiest choice, but hey, I wanted to splurge a little! I also had cake and ice cream that night!! So I call that my "good luck" dinner because in the past, when I've had Sardi's, I always seem to have a good weigh in the next day! And no, it's not because it gives me mad diarrhea or anything like that! lol:-P
I'm not sure what prompted me, but I decided to just weigh myself and see how much I had probably gained from pigging out the night before. Here's what the scale said...
Previous Weight - 156.4
Current Weight - 155.2
Weight Lost - 1.2 Pounds
Total Weight Lost - 76.2 Pounds!!!
Wow, I was so happy! Finally, FINALLY... a loss!! Ahh, it felt so good!:)
Oh, another thing I kinda forgot to mention that COULD have been affecting my weight loss... my medication. As I've mentioned before, I take medicine for Hypothyroidism. Well, generally that helps with weight loss, but I can't say how much it really had to do with all of my weight loss. But, I had forgot to refill my prescription and I was slacking, then when I did refill it, I never went to pick it up and yeah... I'm just lazy when it comes to other things besides working out! lol. So needless to say, I wasn't taking my medication for about a month or so. (Don't hurt me Allison!) So I'm wondering if now that I have it back in my system again, if that'll help me out some? I guess we'll see:)
I am SO CLOSE to my goal, it's ridiculous!! This is going to be a real nail biter, seeing if I can lose the last 5.2 by January 9th!!! If I haven't lost it by January 6th, I'm just not going to eat for 3 days!!! ..... just kidding guys:) I wouldn't do that lol:) But I really, really, really hope I can do it!!!
You're probably wondering what the deal is with the title of this blog. Well I will explain that now:) I took a picture of my tattoo the other day and it made me realize that I've had my sugar skull/geisha chest piece for a year now! What?! I can't believe it's already been a year! But it made me think "Hmm, I wonder how I looked when I first got the tattoo?" So I got on facebook and looked back at my older pics, and found a picture I had taken right after it was finished. I got the outline on December 10th, then finished the color on December 21st:) Here is a side by side comparison.
Well, time to stop putting it off and go work out!! Gotta get a good burn in for the pizza and spaghetti I'm going to have tonight... ahhh!! Hope you all have a fun & safe weekend:)
<3 Your Biggest Loser,
