3 Day Weekend

Yesterday's Eat's:  937 Cals

I really want to stay motivated here and hit that 114 mark.  Which according to my other scale I technically did.  It's so easy to get lax once you get close to your goal and I don't want to do that.  Next week will be hard because I have a feeling the "off birth control for the week" effect will wear off.  They do say it's a myth but I do think the pill causes gain too.  My theory is that it causes extra water retention.  I would quit except I'm having regular sex.  The idea of wearing condoms with my husband is a bit bizarre and pregnancy is not an option. 

I drank about 10 oz of water after dinner.  I took a hot shower and suddenly I realized how thirsty I was.  Instead of having that serving of licorice like I kinda wanted to I brushed my teeth and drank some water.  Every time I eat now I try to be so conscious of how much I'm eating and how full I am getting.  Yeah, it sort of takes the pleasure out of eating somewhat but if it stops me from pigging out it's a good thing.  I'm up .5 from yesterday.  Was it the water?  Or is it the turning of the tides?  We shall see.

It's supposed to be a perfectly sunny weekend.  I think we will be watching a movie tonight at home.  I have a great date planned for us tomorrow and it's a 3 day weekend.  We MUST finally get around to taking our tree down and putting that new bench together.  Oh, and laundry.
