Weigh In Wendesday ~ August 20, 2014

Hey there everyone!

I'm sorry I missed Weigh In Wednesday last week.  I was home with my youngest daughter and it's not the easiest to write a blog post when she is banging on the keyboard.  ;) 

Thursday was my older daughter's 7th birthday and she has been asking to have her ears pierced for the past 2 years.  My husband and I decided she was old enough now to properly take care of them, so we got her some earrings for her birthday and told her we would take her on Saturday to get her ears pierced.  She was SO excited.  She did great and didn't even cry!

So, the last time I weighed in, I was at 182.4.  Last Wednesday, I saw this:

And then life happened.  My older daughter's birthday party was on Saturday, and I had way too many cupcakes and chips.  Then, on Sunday, we had a wedding shower to go to where I wound up eating 2 pieces of cake.  I also had 2 cupcakes over the course of the day.  It was no wonder that on Monday morning when I weighed myself, I saw 183.9.  NOT COOL.

So, I buckled down and focused on my eating and getting my water in.  This morning, I saw this:

Not quite where I was last week, but considering I've dropped 2.7 pounds in 2 days, I'll take it!  My goal for next week is to be below 180.   That will be the first time that has happened since before my oldest daughter was born in 2007. 

Here are my stats for the week:
