Cake Makes Me Happy

You know I had to make a Cake post.  And I ain't talkin' 'bout the pastry!  The concert last night was amazing.  Beforehand we went and ate at Zachary's Pizza in Oakland.  It's this tiny restaraunt is in this cool corner spot.  We had reservations and it was still a 30 minute wait, that's how packed it was.  But the pizza was SOOO worth it.  We had Chicago Style Deep Dish.  It's the thickest pizza I've ever seen in my life. The crust wasn't thick, it was just deep and piled high with cheese, pepperoni, mushroom and fresh diced tomatoes.  I know it had to be really bad for me, but I didn't drink so I justified the extra calories :)

On a depressing note, I got on the scale this morning, because I've been doing pretty well with my points - at least compared to last week - and I wanted to see if it had made any difference.  ABSOLUTELY NONE.  I started wondering if the Weight Watcher's spreadsheet I'd found online had a bad formula or something, so I did a little research this afternoon.  Sure enough, the formulas were completely off.  It turns out on days when I thought I was staying within my point range, I was actually about 10 points over.  No wonder I haven't been losing any weight!  

If there's anything that proves there's no substitute for the original.  That being said, I am really cheap, so for now I've fixed the spreadsheet and will continue to use it.  

So...here's hoping the next 3 days are productive on the weight loss journey.  Also, I have yet to work out this week, which means I'll have to do my 2 workouts Monday & Tuesday (Oscar Party Tonight)

losing weight is hard.
