I need a new scale and some advice as to what I'm doing wrong...

Does anybody have any suggestions? I went to the doctor last week and the nurse who weighed me said I was 175. I think she was incorrect. I swear she pushed the big thingy (lol) on the scale to 150 and the smaller one beneath it to 35. I could be wrong.

Anyway, I purchased some new jeans and dress pants last week. The jeans are a 13 and the dress pants are a 12. I tried on a few pairs of jeans that were size 12 and they weren't the most comfortable fit. So I'm guessing I wear a 12/13? I dunno. It's better than where I was. A 24! Thought it would be nice to wear a 9/10.

I'm trying to get back into my workout routine. I kind of feel like I never should have left Fitness Source. I like the flexibility of going to 24-Hour Fitness because I can go whenever I want, but I miss Fitness Source because it's smaller and I feel a little less self-conscious when I go there. I've been going to both, just paying $10 whenever I want a little peace and less people around me. Besides, there's this guy that works at 24-Hour Fitness that tends to be a little distracting and he makes me feel self-conscious when I'm in there.

Anyway, I have to go apartment shopping now. Let's hope that by Monday the stupid needle on the scale has shifted below 180. I don't want to get discouraged. That is always what happens.

As of today...

Today I officially started my lifestyle change/better eating plan. Actually, I didn't eat all that bad to begin with but my weight loss has stalled.

This is pretty much the way my meals went for the day:

Breakfast - 2/3 c of scrambled Eggbeaters w/ about a cup of chopped red/yellow/green bell pepper, 1/4 c shredded fat free cheddar cheese and 1 c blueberries

Snack - Yogurt

Lunch - salad w/ red/yellow/green bell pepper, 1/2 avocado diced up, cheese crumbles, mushrooms, grilled chicken, ranch dressing, applesauce

Snack - Yogurt and a Granola Thin

Dinner - Soyburger and green beans.

I managed to get a workout in before dinner. I had to eat late because I did a late workout. I usually hate eating after 8 but I had to tonight.

I probably had too much salad dressing on my salad so I'll do better on that tomorrow.

I also decided that I want to be 150 by Christmas. So that's one goal. The ultimate goal is to be 140 by January 25.

I also have made plans to move out in October. I've found a place that is conveniently located just close enough to my mom's house so that I can still be available for Marissa if she needs me. Things are about to change a lot with Brittany going off to college.

I usually hate change but in this case, I think it's time.
