A month, a measure, and a burrito

One month down with WFMH.  Today was our first official measurement.  I spent my entire day trying to convince myself that a gain would be ok, and if I were not allowed to "go on" in the challenge toward the final 3, that was ok also.  I am, after all, in it to change my habits.  The organizer, Sara, knows me well already.  She knows that she does not say my weight, or any measurements out loud, and writes them down for me to view when I am ready.  She also looked over my food diary, and agreed that I am NOT eating enough.  Again,  total shock, because a person with my BMI hasn't been encouraged to eat more very often in life.  :)  SO, more careful documentation of what I eat, starting tomorrow (GAG) and maybe eating a bit more, healthy of course. 
The measurement.  I lost .6lb, so I did not make my 10lb goal.  BUMMER.  I lost 2" around my abdomen, and 1.something for body fat.  I'm not certain where that puts me in "the pack", but I am hopeful to remain in the chase a bit longer.  There were some great numbers that I heard people talking about.  Great success stories, however, I wonder if those people will be able to maintain those lifestyles after the competition is over?  Rationalization on my part.   Anyway, kudos to them, it sounds like everyone is working their butts off in one way or another.  Speaking of working butts off, I did a 5K for diabetes yesterday.  It was designed and marketed as a "non competitive" walk.  I didn't make it competitive, but I also walked as fast as I could with some jogging thrown in to make me feel like an athlete.  I'm sure the others doing the walk must have thought I was some kind of freak, after all, I am STILL FAT, and to see my jiggles wiggling down the trail must have been a sight. 
The burrito.  I did it.  On the way home I drove through and got one of the shrimp burritos that I have been craving for days.  It was beyond delicious.  Every spicy bite was a taste of what heaven must be like.  I drove home eating it in utter comfort.  Now, I know what you must be thinking. . .rewarding with food?  Not a good choice.  You are right, however, I like instant gratification and there was not a pedicure place open at 9pm to give me some gratification, so I went with the shrimp burrito option.  DE-LISH-US.  MMMM mmmmmm good.  I figure to eliminate it totally would be an exercise in futility because I would eventually eat shrimp burritos AND chips with guacamole. . .a REALLY bad choice.  I am satisfied, I am comfortable, and I am ready to keep on keepin' on. 

Until next time. . .
