Pizza

After eating an entire small brick oven pizza (and most of the crust) and some chocolate what a surprise I had this morning. I weighted in on Friday morning before leaving for the weekend. I had several challenges on Friday, Sat, and Sunday. I admitt I gave in to the couple mentioned above but ate really well the rest of the time. I weighted myself this morning and am 1/2 pound less than Friday. I am really pleased since that means I did balance eating well with allowing myslef to enjoy a special meal and desert and did not gain weight. Go Me!!!!

Progress

Well, a huge CONGRATULATIONS to the daughter! Way to go! I wish the mother had been more successful but I am still hanging in there. This Monday will make 5 weeks on the program and I am down a total of 9 pounds. It's harder to be happy about a 9 pound loss when 4 1/2 pounds were in the first week but I am making progress. The good news is I know what I am still doing wrong - picking up a cookie now and then and throwing on a little more feta and olives on my salads pretty regularly. So I am going to tighten things up and look for a good loss by the end of next week! The first challenge I have for the upcoming week is I will be at a cta show this weekend. At shows you hurry up then you wait and waiting is hard especially when they only have junk food available at shows. So I am bringing my own foods and plan to drink plenty of waer. The daughter will be there too so hopefully we will help each other. After that there should be no major challenges the rest of the week. BTW - Good Luck to Raya's Clearly MzUndrstod Callie at the show!

Broke a 0 number

The Daughter Here:
In every weightloss program the weights that end with a 0 somehow seem more significant. For example saying you weigh in the 150s or 160s. When you get below that 0 number it's a bit of a milestone. This morning I broke through one and it felt great!!! So far I'm down 7.6 pounds. When I'm hungry I eat, and when I have social plans I'm careful but I enjoy what everyone else is having. So far so good!!!
