eating tour of charleston

so yeah. returned from a weekend in charleston with the pseudo-in-laws. i think i ate my body weight in grits and fried. fried shrimp, fried chicken, fried oysters--mmmmm. not very condusive to weight loss, but YUM. i also had some biscuits, some pie, gravy, ribs, and other tummy terrible things. it was a good weekend, and today is like a bonus day--i had a scone for breakfast, and i am eating a sandwich as we speak. tomorrow, it's back to SB until the 28th. we are going to start back on phase 1 tomorrow morning, and continue it till the last weekend of this month, since that weekend we will have a house full of chocolate pudding eating guys. then we will get on phase 2 and stay on that till thanksgiving at least. the holidays are rough for dieting, but i will try not to go insane.

water lillies skirt

anyway, as i ramble on, i am failing to report a small victory. i have not been weighing myself on this go-round on the SB diet--i have just been doing it. however, i can already tell a difference in the fit of my clothes. this weekend, i bought a size 14 skirt, the first in many many years. like i said to the sam, that little number made me want to throw a party! WAY more motivating than the scale ever could be!
