that crazy scale

Does anyone else notice that you should always weigh in at the same time on the same scale?  I generally ALWAYS weight in first thing when I come out of the shower in the morning.  It makes sense.  So, last night after sweating my arse off and then going for a 30 minute walk, I decided to weigh in again.  314, which is higher than what I started last week!  What the holy heck?  No freakin way.  So, I did it again this morning fresh out of the shower and we were back to 304 which is a pound down from yesterday.  Now that I can deal with.  I've read both sides of the argument - one stating that you should weigh every day and one that says you should do it on a set day of the week only.  I do a little bit of both, I hop on for a little extra motivation one way or the other every few days.  But my 'official' days are Mondays (used to always be Wednesday before this STS challenge). 

Progress for yesterday was okay, except lunch.  I think losing the 5 pounds over the first week and reading the other challengers blogs helped me to step it up a notch.  I worked hard!  I was tripped up at lunch due to lack of planning and had to really struggle finding something healthy in a gas station for lunch.  (I live in a remote area of South Dakota).  I ended up buying two string cheese and some jalapeno cheddar chex mix.  I mostly just wanted to try the chex mix, Jalapeno Cheetos are my vice.  Man i love them.  But - the chex mis is way better!  The texture and flavor is great!  There's 120 calories in a half cup serving, so I'm going to make my own little 100 calorie packs with them for when I have that salty craving. 



I brought my lunch today so I'm not wandering aimlessly in a convenience store for good healthy eats.  Hey, at least I avoided the fried chicken, pizza, breadsticks and other things they do have there.
