Pounds lost in Week 33: -1 pound
Total weight lost so far : 25.2 pounds
Well, it looks like January is going from bad to worse. Last week, I lost no weight, but didn’t gain either. This week, I gained a pound. But, I did go and stand on the scale, even though I had a sneaking suspicion that the scale was going to be up….unlike some other people who read this blog who shall remain nameless (you know who you are!) 
LOL – friend guilt…gotta love it!
I know what the problem was, though, so that is at least a step in the right direction. Since the Destroyer’s birth, I get raging migraines the day before and every day of my period. I’ve talked to different doctors and outside of a very expensive, fabulous little pill that makes them all go away, but that my insurance unfortunately won’t cover, I can’t seem to get rid of them. This is a not an uncommon occurrence for women, I’m told. Anyway – the one thing that keeps me going for that special week of the month is my little bottle of Excedrin Migraine and Coke (the caffeine helps the Excedrin work better and faster – no lie – my doctor told me this!) Last week, the migraines were BAD. And I drank A LOT of coke. Oh and then there was the cookies and donut I ate on Sunday.
I’m sort of dreading this week foodwise, too. Saturday is CheezWaster’s birthday party. Then, there is the party at his school next week. So, this week the normally Dorito shaped devil sitting on my shoulder will be replaced by the cupcake shaped one. Here’s to hoping that the scale shaped angel will be sitting on the other shoulder this week!

Hey, sorry about the bad week…you’ll get back on track, just keep thinking how much better it feels to be healthier now than you were when you started! Have you tried Coke Zero? I stopped drinking soda about 3 years ago as the first step in losing weight on my own, but sometimes have a craving. Coke Zero is much better than Diet Coke and still has the caffeine, for 0 points!
Keep trying…we will all succeed at this!

Quiet you! I have already committed to going to WW this week…even after knowing my weekend was crap! LOL!
I’m so sorry about the migrains! That must be awful and to know it’s hurting not only your head, but your diet sucks. I’ll have to remember the caffeine and exedrine tip. I never take anything like that, so when I do, I want it to work as quickly as possible.
You can do this! I decided to try thinking about this week in terms of one meal at a time. It worked yesterday and so far today. Don’t think too far ahead. Focus on the now. With each positive, on-plan meal you have, momentum will build. And when you hit the cupcakes, you won’t want to mess with all the good you did earlier in the week. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Thanks and thanks for the tip on the Coke Zero. I’ve seen it but never tried it. I’m heading to the caf now to pick one up!
