Ahhhhhhhh so here I am!!!!! Sorry I don't update every day. I'm not too good at typing a lot out so I just like to do my quick updates, lol, and post pictures of course.

I weighed myself this morning and weighed 174lbs........SERIOUSLY?!? I don't officially weigh in until tomorrow for the halloween challenge but 174lbs was my goal. Hopefully tomorrow it's the same number- lol.

Anyway......

We have been Christmas shopping for the kiddos. Their daddy spoils them way too much. Yesterday he bought our daughter almost $300 worth of "collector" Barbies, talking about we will put them up for her. I don't know about yall, but I got one collector barbie as a child and it KILLED ME not to play with it. So not the best Christmas present in my opinion but he did get her plenty of other things she could play with. Still, I think $300 on Barbies is ridiculous. And it was only 5 Barbies!!!!!!! I tried to talk him out of it but nope. He is very happy about it though, lol, dork!

I forgot to add yesterday, I cut out diet soda on Tuesday! Mon or Tues, can't remember. No more diet rootbeer for me! lol

I weighed in today and the number was..........173lbs!!!!!!! So I managed to lose 5lbs! I definitely think cutting out the diet drinks had a lot to do with it. I realize now that it actually WAS making me crave more!!!!!!!!! And I would drink A LOT of it!

HOLY cow! Great job dropping 5 pounds! That's is a significant number by cutting out diet drinks! Also, I didn't realize how expensive Barbies were!

Nicely done!

There is some opinion that diet drinks do actually result in people eating more. So that may well have had something to do with it.

Thanks for the comments.

Cord, yeah, I thought it was all B/S but it's actually true for me. I do eat more w/ diet drinks.

Sad to say I ate like a pig over the weekend. Ahhhhhh.

Ah, don't worry too much on "eating too much" thing. I did it too, LOL We just have to get back on track
