New Scale Win!

Score! My roomie, K, bought a new digital scale today when we went to Target. I have been wanting to get one for a while, but I was worried that she would start to suspect something if I bought a new scale to replace the old dial one I brought with me. Turns out, she didn't even know it was mine! Awesome! She thought it belonged to our other roommate, T, whose parents furnished the place for us, including the bathroom that K and I share. So I didn't say a word, and said I don't even use it when she said how crappy the dial is and is it off for me, or do I even use it? So I am excited to see what my true weight is tonight. Or maybe more nervous, because I was 128 again this morning, all the result of a mini-binge Monday night involving baked ziti, and salty soup last night that I am thinking is making me retain water. If the new scale says something even higher, I am going to be so mad at myself.

But it is a new month, and a fresh start, and I am a part of the Super Skinny Pants October challenge that Stella Starver designed. I am so going to be looking good by October 31st. I am honestly hoping to be extremely close, if not at, my goal of 108lbs. I know I can do it, because I have done it in the past, so I just need to be serious about this. I need to figure out something I can eat for lunch at school that looks like a lot but is low-cal at the same time. Any thoughts?

This new block of classes we are in keeps us at school from 8am to 3 or 4pm everyday. I know, it's just like high school, but I have been out of high school for five years now, and I am so not used to the whole, stay in one building for the whole day thing. Even in undergrad, we had to go to different buildings for different classes, and I usually only had 3 or 4 hours of lectures a day, with labs on certain days. It made avoiding eating easier, because I also didn't really know anyone in my classes for them to wonder why I wasn't eating lunch anyway. Now, since I am in a class with only 84 people, I know everyone, so when I have cottage cheese and grapes for lunch, people exclaim "Is that ALL you're going to eat for lunch??" as they scarf down their chicken sandwiches, burgers, fries, and pizzas from the cafeteria. It seriously is like being in high school again. I was warned, going into vet school, that it would be like high school. But they were referring to all the drama. Haha.

Alright, I am going to feed my kitty, who is looking longingly at the fattie's food bowl, even though he knows he isn't allowed to steal any food from her. Then I have to get ready for a party at one of my friend's houses tonight. Absolutely no food will I eat at this party. Only a few drinks, all hard alcohol. Beer=too many carbs, and like I have said before, I don't like it anyway. They are setting up different rooms for different things, like one room is going to be video games, another room is going to have beer pong, etc., but I am excited for the dance party room! I LOVE dancing. So I will burn off calories by dancing like a fool for the whole party :)

Love you, Skinnies!
