The view is better...

...when you stand backwards on the scale.

I panicked a little bit today when my trainer said I had to get on the scale. I just knew that I would see the number and be disappointed. Dan the trainer insisted I weigh, so he said I would stand backwards. He wouldn't tell me anything about my weight, but I know it couldn't have been too good because he said "OK, we're not going to get on the scale for a few months. We need to make some changes."

*sigh*

Ok, enough of that. I'm not going to dwell. I'm going to focus on the fact that I am strong and able.

Something else positive from this past week is that I did not eat fast food. I thought about it a couple times, but both times it was more about convenience rather than cravings. Making that extra food last weekend really helped. Dan suggested today that I actually sit down and plan all my meals for the week, so I can make even more food ahead this weekend. I'm going to do it, but I need to make sure I get a little variety in there. I know that if I cook up 4 pounds of chicken breast, by Thursday I'm going to want a pepperoni pizza just to break up the monotony.

At some point this weekend I am going to make a shopping list and do some cooking. What and when, I have no idea.
