i weighed-in this morning at 182! which is a little, tiny, baby loss of 0.8lbs. I worked extra hard for that almost-a-pound  though.

i was doing really well last week considering i wanted to eat EVERYthing in sight. all day. all the live long day. (aunt flow paid me a visit.) this weekend, my cousin was in town for a visit and we celebrated her belated birthday with burgers, brats, and beer. . .  i had a quarter of a burger patty with cheese, a bite of bratwurst, 3-4 bites of grilled chicken, and about 3 gallons of potato salad. oh and a piece of the cookie cake that is yolanda's birthday tradition. that potato salad. . . . there is no resisting it. it's my oma's recipe, and now that she's no longer with us, my mom is in charge of bringing it to family functions. as in required to bring it. she kicks that recipes ass. it's awesome! i might have also had 1 or 3 frozen yummy rum beverages. and a mojito. ok, i think that's it.

that was really my only bad (so good) meal, but i managed to weigh-in at 186 the following day. whoa! a pretty big jump that kinda freaked me out a bit. i jumped right back on track, but i think aunt flow had something to do with the gain in the first place. bitch. at least i slapped down her urges for sweet, baked, goodness. . . oh, wait no. there was that cookie last week. ok, ok, but all this combined does not equal 4 lbs. (at least it shouldn't cause that's not fair.)

even though i only lost 0.8 lbs total, i lost 4 lbs in 3 days. wish i could do that as easily every week. considering i have no idea how i gained that much weight from one bad meal (of cocktails), and then lost it all and then some, i'm not going to fret over any of it. just be pleased with my 0.8 and avoid my mother and her leftovers. . .
