Weekly weigh in 2

I'm pretty sure I missed a weigh in but whatever this is the second time I've weighed myself since I started this blog so it's number 2. The number on the scale this morning doesn't make me happy, however, the fact that its lower than last time makes me happy. My weight currently sits at 157.8 lbs. unfortunately that's only 1.2 lbs since I started 22 days ago, if my weight loss continues this slowly it's going to take me two years to get to my goal weight. So I have set up a new challenge for myself.
It takes 21 days to create a habit (or so I'm told) so for 21 days there will be absolutely no:
-chocolate
-candy
-biscuits or cookies
-cake, doughnuts, or muffins
-pastries
-white bread
-chips
-fast food
-Nutella or other naughty spreads
-ice cream
This seems pretty strict but in reality it's just no junk food and doing this before I've lost 5 lbs in the 21 days. Much better than what I've done this month. The biggest thing I have to remember is to not binge at the end of it. It's okay to indulge every once in a while but small portions and not very often because deprivation will cause a binge. I've learned that from not only seeing other people but from my own experiences as well. So here goes nothing!
But now back to the present, so far I've just had a few grapes and some apple slices and am about to have more before going to the gym right away here.
Went 1.15 miles in 15 minutes on the treadmill, 0.84 in 10 minutes on the elliptical at level 14 resistance, and 1.30 miles in 5 minutes on the bike. I did a bunch of core and arm workouts too to let my legs rest a bit.
Afterwards I had half a scoop of my protein powder and a bowl of whole wheat pasta without any sauces, just some vegetable seasoning that's low in sodium. And for dinner I had a chipotle turkey panini on multigrain bread. Yummy!
