My scale must be broken!

I weighed myself at the beginning of my Cinderella Pact -- to have a point of reference. I never intend to share that weight, too embarrassing! Well, I have stepped on the scale every other day and it has slowly gone down, one or two pounds at a time. I didn't weigh myself over the weekend and today I think I must need a new scale -- because it says I have lost 11 pounds in a week! I am now contemplating if this, possibly broken, instrument of measure is my new best friend. :) I think I will have to go into a health clinic and get an accurate weight so that I know how to proceed. This morning, however, I am going to utter the four most blasphemous words for any female to pronounce "I Love my SCALE!!!"

My diet has become a little redundant. My most interesting day this weekend was:

Breakfast: Blueberry Smoothie -- 1 cup frozen blueberries, 1 banana, 1 cup Almond milk
and one piece of Whole Wheat Flax Seed Toast with peanut butter.
Snack: Kashi Honey Almond Flax Chewy Granola Bar
Lunch: Green leafy lettuce topped with Tuna salad
Snack: Apple and a Banana
Supper: Chicken Fajitas without the sour cream, or tortillas

Workout: I have ridden my bike 6-8 miles every day this weekend, of course not on Sunday. I have also done the Great Butt and Great Arms workout routine -- an old video that I purchased before Margaret was one year old. I am sure there are newer funner workouts available, but I am too frugal to spend on more workout stuff when I already have so much.
For the next two weeks I am going to do the FIRM dvd workouts. I will tell you how that goes.   :)

Mantra of the day: "Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be." - Karen Ravn 
I am only limited by myself. There are no excuses, no shifting of blame. I alone am responsible for who I am, what I do, how far I go and what dreams I achieve. I can push myself harder and aim higher because the only one who can stand in my way is me.
