Starry-eyed!

Well, I got a star for the day. When I weighed in at Weight Watchers today, I had blown past the 10-pound mark. In fact, I lost five pounds today alone! Woo hoo! Kinda cool--I feel like a little kid who had done a good deed in school! I kind of feel like I'm walking around with a little angel on one shoulder and a little devil on the other. My initial thought was, "I should celebrate and have something bad for lunch." Then I thought, "I should celebrate and have something GOOD for lunch." I chose a taco salad, no shell, no chips, just salad. After a few bites, I decided it was missing tomatoes. Someone had brought in tomatoes from their garden so I decided to go to the office kitchen and slice some on top of my salad. (More veggies, you know. I was really on the "celebrate and be good" kick.) So, I go back to my office, sit down, and the amber alert thing went off on our weather radio in the empty office next to mine. I got up to turn off the siren sound, and I don't know what happened, but plop, my salad ended up all over the floor. Tossed salad, for sure. I was so, so sad. My immediate thought this time was that it was a sign that I could have something bad. (!) I could go to McDonald's! I know, some of you might be thinking, "Yuck, you would go off your diet for that???" My answer, an emphatic, "YES!!!" But I didn't. My angel shoulder reminded me that I had a can of soup in my food stash under my desk. Soup in the summer isn't half bad when you tell yourself you are doing the right thing. So, I am continuing to celebrate by being good. Tonight, I will celebrate again by going to water fitness. My slacks fell off last time I had a swimsuit underneath them. I'll try to keep my pants on this time when I change.
