Not ready

I decided last night to try pasta.  Not just any pasta, but Dreamfield's.  I love the stuff and have had it plenty of times before, but now that carbs have been out of my system for a while, I wanted to give them a go to see how they would affect my body.  So, after seeing 205 on the scale yesterday, I saw 206 this AM.  I'm not really upset because the pasta was a nice change (we had yummy caesar salads and meatballs, too) but I think I am just not ready to add that back in weekly.  Maybe monthly, but not weekly.  And believe it or not, I did only have the small 1/2c (cooked) serving.  And could not eat it all!  :D  Although, I counted the full serving because we made mac-n-cheese with it for our oldest and I tasted that.  lol

Anyways, I don't feel like I've 'gained', but I do feel like it's going to be one of those things that sits there.  I know my loss hasn't stopped because as of yesterday, I'd been down 2lbs. for the week.  But I do feel like it would slow me down if it was a regular part of my diet.  But for now, until my 3mo. challenge is up, I will only be having that maybe once a month as something 'different'.  But I am glad I tried it or I would've been wondering.  I still don't want to try any breads -- even the low carb ones.  I will save all of that for once I have lost some more weight.  Really, that's probably what I will do with the pasta, too.  I know I said I may have it, but knowing that it may slow me down, I just don't think I want it right now.  And the truth is, I liked the meatballs more than the pasta!  LOL  And the salad!  I just love a good caesar!  I still don't know if I spell it right, though!  HA!  Maybe next time the hubbs wants pasta, we can make the meatballs or meat sauce and I will have mine over some veggies instead of pasta.  I've tried spaghetti squash before, but it's not my thing.  But I may try it again.  Or I may try 'ricing' cauliflower and eating it over that.  However, think we are going to have to change pasta sauces -- the one we use to love now tastes too sweet.  Not sure if they changed or we did!  But a girl recommended pizza sauce saying that they usually try to make that more savory so they use less sugar.  We may do that, or we may go back to making our own.  It's not hard, so I could do it.

I have 67 days left in my challenge!  Just looked at the calendar and realized that.  It's amazing how many days I have done already clean and under control.  Maybe I SHOULD just say no to pasta until the 67 days pass.  I mean, 67 days is nothing really.  Just a little over two months.  I don't think I will lose the 22lbs. I still need to lose by then, but I might.  Who knows?  I am just going to stick it out until then and see how it goes.  Then I will start from there and see where I am.  But I do hope I am close!  12lbs. down as of yesterday, so I'm doing pretty well!

I guess I should go -- I need to help the hubbs out with a few things and do some housework.  Especially since the house is fairly quiet today.  I really need to knock out some dreaded laundry.  Laundry is my nemesis!  Sorta like Perry and Dr. Doofensmirtz.  LOL  You know you have kids when you make references to cartoons that relate to your life!  HA! HA! HA!
