Do scales Lie?

On Saturday I was at 135, Then Sunday I was at 138. I am taking 135 and running with it though.
I ate quite a bit of the NO NO foods after looking at the scale thinking I deserved to indulge a bit.
I had two too many slices of Pizza It was soooo good. But the next day, I was bloated and felt quite awful.
I haven't had that much white carbs for a very long time. Though it was a momentary pleasure I was slammed with a headache the following day. I am thinking the scale went up because I indulged and I was a bit "Bloated".
Yeah, I may be sharing too much but I am accountable for something.

Today is a day of cleansing, Veggies and Fruits, water and Herbal teas.
I started today with ONE egg and some wheat toast. I think we are on a getting this week off on a good start.
I will be eating a lot of tomatoes fresh from the garden (thanks to my Mother in Law). Am actually excited to get back on my disciplined diet of healthy foods, though indulgence was nice, it was momentary. It left me feeling sick. I think my indulgence in Dark chocolate and almonds is Just right.

The Good news this week is though,is that I have lost inches. I haven't taken measurements since I started this and I am happy to report I have lost 2.5 inches around my hips, 1.5 inches around my waist.
My perfectly fitting pants are loose and just don't fit right anymore. This is good and bad, as they were my favorite pair of khakis. Really, not sure if I should complain about this.
Madi's baptism will be in one month, it would be nice to even out my weight loss to 15 pounds by the time that comes around, good news is that is only another 7 pounds of weight loss in 4 more weeks, if I work a little harder and don't indulge for the next month it is possible. However, I'd be happy to make it 12 pounds which is my goal after all, an extra 3 would be nice to report.

I will keep working on this goal, now I just need to figure out how to get better sleep!

 I know this is my family blog, and I do have some pics to put up on here, I will soon.
I just wanted to update those of you who have been following this journey of my life.
I always write about my family and my kids. This is why I am doing this! SO that I can be there for them.
Thanks for your cheers and support!

While pregnant with Eli I developed gallstones. I have really struggled with the discomfort and pain for the last 2 years. The other day we fed the missionaries and I ate about 900 calories for breakfast (but I loved every bite) and that afternoon I was in quite a bit of pain. It was then that I realized I have not had the really bad pain since I changed my eating habits. I guess there are more benifits than just what the scale says by watching what I eat. Although I have to say the crepes have been calling me for 2 days. Congrats on your success. I hope we are both skinnier when we see each other at Christmas.

Thanks, Lisa. Healthy eating makes a difference. I have had fewer headaches and have felt better over all. Once I figure out what is keeping me from sleeping well, I should then have more energy, I have to say exercising helps a ton too. When I don't I feel anxious and stir crazy. Keep it up! I am excited to see you in December. So glad we are working on this together. NOW the problem is...what in the world will we eat at Christmas with out feeling like crap! Guess we will have to see!
