Weekly Weigh-in (Week 27)

It's Sunday yet again, and time for another installment of the weekly weigh-in.

Late post again this week. Had work this afternoon which didn't help matters and had some baking to do this morning that threw off my normal schedule. Work is having a dessert night tomorrow for the staff and as a manager I am responsible for bringing at least one dessert. Being myself, I decided to be ambitious and am bringing a few desserts because of a couple reasons, I love to cook, I have a lot of stuff sitting in the pantry I don't feel like moving with, and clearly it means I'm better than the other managers. (Just kidding by the way if any of the rest of them read this.)

The hardest part about dessert night? It will have nothing to do with the baking but everything to do with the dessert. Dessert is a continuing issue for me. I always want it to help finish out whatever meal I'm having, but it's either too expensive (a blessing in disguise), or I just shouldn't do it because I don't need the calories. So when dessert night comes, I may end up not really eating much at all. But you know? There's nothing wrong with that, and I need to force myself to do that more often if I'm going to get anywhere.

I apologize to those of you that read this all the time if I'm sounding like a broken record. Sometimes I feel like one to be honest. I struggle with the same things week after week, the same way I have for months and years. The difference is now I at least make an effort, while before I just took the easy road without question. So while I may not yet be making the smart decision enough for my taste, I'm at least thinking about the choice more than I had before.

Well, enough of that, now on to the actual numbers. The scale tells me today that I'm at 246.2, which is down .8 from last week. Seems like I must be doing something at least sort of right. Just going to have to keep trying to make the smart choices and hope things work out. So far it looks like they have been.
