Day 8 - Down 1.8 together

Jami: Down .4
Justin: Down 1.4

Boo! Didn't I just write that I didn't want the stress of not having consistent numbers?!?! Arg. And I didn't cheat either. Of course all morning I have been analyzing every last little thing I did yesterday that might be considered off routine. Was is the Old Bay I sprinkled on my veal last night? No, Pam has been pretty liberal with spices with no dramatic effect. Was it that I didn't drink quite as much water at night as I usually do? I hope not, I was proud that I wasn't so hungry I needed to drink a ton of water. Was it that I had my last cup of coffee at 7pm and, possibly consequently, stayed up until 2am reading Harry Potter? Was it that I licked the kids' pig-in-the-blanket before I gave it to them? I really hope not on this one, these tiny tastes have been very satisfying for me will not being considered an actual cheat. Or was it that I had lunch after a nap? Did I visualize the wrong number? Is it that I am still at that TOM and will have a significant drop when it's done? Man we women think too much!!

But good job Justin!!! With all the snow last night and the other idiot drivers he hit a slick patch on the way home and accidentally smacked his truck into a curb, which busted his from passenger tire off the wheel. Thankfully it was right next to the apartment but he still spent an hour outside changing it in the snow. When he came in he said he was exhausted from all the extra effort. I used Pam's advice and told him to eat an extra apple, which apparently worked. :)

Thank you, thank you, Pam! We are using your advice every chance we need. :) I even made a color-coded calendar last night to count down the days we have left. Three weeks really isn't a long time, but I put the calendar on the fridge as a reminder anyway.

I fear and dread this weekend. Being snowed in is bad enough but having to feed the kids every 30 minutes all weekend is torture too. I've done it every evening this week though so I am confident it'll just be a bit irksome.

Now back to our daily dose of Nemo (I wonder how long it'll take Justin before he throws it away).

Jami: 163.8 - Total Weight Lost: 9.0
