Lose 10 pounds before our 4th of July Cruise! (Day 2)

The question is always, "Should I or should I not weight myself everyday?"

I seem to go back and forth with this predicament. When I weigh myself everyday and I see the scale going down, I am happy, but when I see it going up, even though I have stuck to my eating plan, then I tend to get a little discouraged. 

It is only day 2 and when I weighed myself today the scale showed that I had lost 1.6 pounds. Of course it made me happy but then I had to tell myself that it really is virtually impossible to lose 1.6 pounds of weight in only 1 day. But the decrease shown on the scale brightened my day and gave me incentive to try hard today. 

I tried on my swim shirts that I ordered from Amazon for only 13.95, free shipping. But dang! I forgot about asian sizes. In Lands End I am a S so I thought I would be a M but the medium was like an XS. So I ordered XL. That was too big.

I thought about just ordering a few more L but I decided to hold off. If I can really lose these 10 pounds before the cruise then I will be able to use the M. These swim shirts are inexpensive and arrive in just a few days so I decided to see how things go.

I´ll post some pictures tomorrow of how they fit me.

Everyday I am going to try to post what I ate, my activity, and my weight loss.
