Well, I didn't gain any weight this weekend, which is surprising, considering the amount of cake I consumed. I mean, a LOT of cake. I think I'm going to throw the rest of it out tonight because I just can't stomach eating any more cake.

However, with my weight not changing over the weekend, I am faced with the very real possibility that I had gained two pounds a couple of weeks before. I thought it was just water, but I'm still above 290 again for the last five days or so. I mean, JUST above 290, but still disheartening.

Planning meals today so I can grocery shop on Friday. Also planning meals because if I know what I'm making ahead of time, planned down to the single calorie, I know I won't overeat, and it's harder to justify eating out, which is also becoming cause for alarm. Two new recipes: Undercover Marinara and Alfredo Pita Pizza. Have not tried, but my mental taste buds are giving me a thumbs up to try.

My mom bought me a 24-pack of pop this weekend, and once that is gone I will be giving up pop again. I don't even know how it slipped back in to my diet, but it did. I will be allowing myself one pop per week (20 ounce bottle) on Mondays when I have my tuna, because the bubbles burn the taste of tuna out of my mouth and make eating fish possible. At least to this degree. Tuna isn't even like a real fish (the way I make it) but I suppose I'm getting all the benefits.

Got a compliment that I looked great, and since I know I haven't lost anything since the last compliment from this person, I'm choosing to blame it on the food. Yay for quality good food.

Oh, and I'm not hungry today. Weird, huh? Yep, I had my breakfast at 8:30 because I figured I should rather than being hungry for it. And a banana a little bit later, also because I figured I should rather than being hungry. Ate most of my lunch before I was stuffed. I forced the remaining tuna and tortilla down though because I know I won't eat any more fish for the rest of the week, and I'm liking the benefits of eating just a little fish every week. I don't, however, have room for my 100-calorie pack of cookies, or my second apple. Odd, huh? And my calories are just over 800 right now, so I can afford to make a nice pasta meal for dinner. Yummmm.

Tomorrow is another luncheon for work: soup, salad and breadsticks. And sandwiches, but then it's not as cute. Anyway, my mommy  is making me creamy chicken wild rice soup. I plan on eating that because it will have more veggies in it than the cheeseburger soup or the cheese soup. I mean, what's soup without veggies? And maybe half a sandwich and a little green salad.

Have not worked out at all this week. I almost did Monday, but I ended up skipping, which was fine because Mondays are not a scheduled workout day. But I skipped Sunday due to my birthday and I didn't feel like it. But this morning I couldn't get out of bed early. Yuck. I am setting my cell phone alarm for tomorrow morning because my cell phone alarm really bothers me. A lot. I hate it. So maybe that annoying thing will get me up in the morning.

UPDATE: Okay, it feels like I'm kind of cheating because weight-wise I haven't lost anything, but:

Oh, yeah, who can friggin' cross their legs? Me. That's who. ME! Okay, not for very long, but for a while, I can. Never, NEVER have I done that before. It was A-MAZING.
