Three and a half days of clean eating has led to a drop of 3 lbs (although most of it is likely just water...). But, it's not a gain of three pounds, either, so I'll take it.
I'm struggling a little today, but I'm reeling myself back into clean eating right now. There. That's done - I'm all reeled-in again and it didn't even hurt. :)
I promise to post the recipe of the Weight Watcher's Zero Point soup very soon...I haven't forgotten. I'm just very busy doing enormous amounts of baking this week (22 cake pops for my son's 2nd grade class tomorrow - it's his 8th birthday, a giant birthday cake (to feed 75 boys at a Cub Scouts camp-out) for Saturday. And 100 cupcakes for Canadian Thanksgiving on Sunday (at least I get paid for that one...). All from scratch...yeesh. It seemed like a good idea when I made these plans - how easily I forget how time-consuming it is!
A reasonable and logical question: How many cake pops, pieces of birthday cake, and cupcakes have I consumed this week? One small edge of vanilla cake (to make sure the recipe was okay - it's hard to make white cake that doesn't taste entirely buttery), and one small pumpkin cupcake. That's it.
** Patting self on back**
I continue to listen to the meditation/hypnosis/subliminal message recording on my iPod nightly (they ask for you to listen to it 17 days in a row) Considering how much I like it, I think I'll listen to it way after the 17 days are up.
LoriV asked me what the name of the recording is - it's called "Subliminal Hypnosis (For Extreme Weight Loss)" on iTunes. The "extreme weight loss" claim is rather extreme in itself...I just want to relax. If it gives me a few other positive messages along the way about body image and self-control, I'll take it, but that's not why I downloaded it.
I just want to relax - without using food to do it.
Next week, once all this baking is done and all the parties are over, I'll be able to really focus in on starting to exercise more regularly. Step by step...

I may have to look into the ipod thing. Night time has become really tough for me. I actually got out of bed twice this week to go eat something. Idiotic. Granted, I don't have garbage food in my house and I had a couple bites of cottage cheese one time and a banana the other, but it's not the food - it's the ridiculousness of getting up out of bed to eat. Clearly I don't need the fuel of food to sleep!
Clean eating is a beautiful thing! :) Keep it up.
Two thumbs up. Great weigh in. :)
Awesome loss and even more fantastic self control around all that food!
Yay!!! Congratulations!!!
Glad you are feeling better.
I could never do all that baking, just reading this made me salivate.
Thanks for sharing the meditation tape.

Sounds like you are doing great Debbie. The struggle is over, forward and on ward. you can do this!
You're doing great, keep it up!
Hi! I haven't commented on your blog before, but I have been reading it for a while. I wanted to tell you how impressed I am with your determination to not quit. I hope your busy week went well, I'm jealous you get to bake- I'm in China for a year and ovens are nonexistent here!!
