Week 9

So I have decided that I've given up on my scale that I bought about two months ago because the thing is completely cracked out. It's crazy. I am officially using one at the gym and it is telling me I weigh slightly less than I thought so I am totally ok with that. I weighed in at 144 today. That makes me excited. I have been eating and drinking like a mad woman lately so any kind of loss is ok. So just so we all know, I'm officially using a different scale but it seemed like it was pretty comparable. Of course it would only be me that has scale drama going on every Monday morning.

I went to Skopje, Macedonia again yesterday and I had McDonald's. I just had to because it's delicious and AMERICAN. I miss all the good ol' American foods. That could explain why I'm a chubby girl now working on losing all that good American food. Totally not the point though because I got McDonald's and didn't have to wear my uniform. Life was good.

I must confess on Saturday night I drank entirely too much too much. I'm so proud of myself because I've been keeping a food journal and I wrote down what I remember drinking and it was WAY too much. I've been trying to not fall into the temptation to drink but it is so hard. I've been reading a lot on different blogs about drinking and weight loss and I've gotten some really good ideas. Two ideas I really liked (which maybe seem obvious but not for me) sip your drinks very slowly and the other is order drinks you really don't like very much so you drink it a lot slower and a lot less of it. I will have to try that. If I start drinking beer that's totally the end of it.
