I weighed in on Friday and I'm down to 123 pounds! That's 2.5lbs gone from 125.5 or 4 pounds gone from 127 (what I was when I got back from Victoria)!
Then I went shopping because I needed smaller jeans! I got size 26 in my jeans and I bought knee length shorts at size 3!

Getting Back To It!
Well, I'm finally back home again and I have lots to say weight-wise!
First of all, there was the Dominican trip which was wonderful and awesome! I didn't end up counting points. There was lots of drinking, though not as much as I thought there'd be, and lots of eating, though I didn't go crazy. My last official weigh in came to 125.5 pounds and when I weighed myself the morning after the trip I was 127. A pound and a half. Not bad at all! So then that morning I flew off to Victoria, B.C. for my navy contract.
It didn't start well. With the 4.5 hour time difference, my stomach did not understand that it may have been time to eat at home, but not in B.C. Then of course there was my first meal in the mess hall. I walked in, took one look at the menu and headed to the salad bar. There was NOTHING low in points. NOTHING. It was terrible. Or so I thought. I sailed on Monday on my ship and there the food was no better but there were only two options and no salad bar. It was take it or leave it. I basically lived on porridge with some other food thrown in there. There were attempts to count points, but it just wasn't possible. On top of it all, the fact that I ate the same things all the time made avoiding the bad stuff very hard. When you spend the last 5 days eating almost nothing but cereal and porridge, you have no idea how good brownies look. One day I actually, after supper, at about 6 or 7 brownies and 4 slices of banana bread. When we got back ashore a week later, I did better. On Friday I went out to eat and went for ice cream but I'm pretty sure it fit into my points. On Saturday I just threw my points into the wind since it was the last day in Victoria for me. I had more ice cream, two strawberry daquiries with supper and copious amounts of Malibu rum (with Coke Zero though!) that evening.
In the end though, all was well. I stepped on the scale Monday morning after I got home and was 127. Never gained a pound somehow. I think it might actually be that my body has adjusted itself to my new weight and that bad eating now and then doesn't affect it like it used to. What was even crazier is that before I went to bed, I weighed myself and I was 125.5. I went down during the day! It was like one day back to eating normally and BAM! My body just got rid of the pounds. So basically I'm back to where I left off before the Dominican! I can't wait to see if there's any change on Friday!
