Fri/Sat personal updates

Since I put it out there in writing that I have a desire to drop a few pounds, I thought that I would share my food logging with you today:
Vitamins (Multi & Joint Support)
Fat Free Milk (3/4 cup, 64 calories)
Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal (2 cups, 347 calories)
PBJ sandwich and a bag of Lay's Potato Chips (475 calories)
3 slices of pepperoni pizza (1014 calories)
This is a total of 1901 calories that I ate today.  According to my bodybugg data, I burned 1855 calories today as of 7pm.
(MATH ALERT, skip ahead to the ** if you like) If you do the math, that means that I have eaten 46 more calories then I burned today.... HOWEVER, have no fear.  My bodybugg update was at 7pm today.  So, doing some quick math, when I sit on my heinie I burn 1 calorie per minute.  Since there are 5 more hours in the day, I'll burn another 300 calories today. 
300 - 46 = 254 calorie deficit at the end of the day.  At a 250 calorie deficit a day, I will lose 1/2 pound per week. Since I have 7 weeks until my skimpy costume, that's 3.5 pounds.... So it will put me right at my goal
My weight today?  I stepped on the scale this morning and neglected to write down what I weighed SO I can't update you with specifics today, but I'm confident that it's in the 138 range (because that's where my bodybugg data is telling me that I will be).
**You may have just glanced over all that and thought "OH MY GOD" when the math stuff came up.  Seriously, I don't think hard about this at all, I only did this example for you to review here.  I wear my bodybugg and type what I ate in to my web page and it does the thinking for me (and my web page knows the calorie content of every one of the food items that I ate today, so no thinking on my part)!!  Watch the blog for the next couple of weeks.  I'll be better about updating it, and you'll watch me drop those 3 pounds that I want to drop before Fantasy Fest!

Saturday morning's update:
Thought I'd update my weight as soon as I stepped on the scale, so that I don't forget again.
137.5
My goal is 135, goal date is 10/31, goal outfit is my cute little number for the Fantasy Fest float!
