Drumroll, please! After 6 weeks, I've lost 17.2 pounds! Woohoo! On Saturday, I weighed 213.2 in the morning (naked) before my meeting. I got in almost 13,000 steps, surpassed the 5 mile mark on my Fit Bit, and was just a few calories below my goal in that category. When I got on the scale yesterday morning (I'm a daily weigher), I was down to 211.4! I was super excited but then between the weather, no exercise, limited water, and eating out...I had the blahs. I ate lunch in the car -- 3-piece chicken fingers from Sonic (8 pts) and then we went and Mexican at Las Margaritas where I had a chicken tostada. I tracked it as a tostada from Chili's for 10 pts. I ended the day at 0 so while I didn't go over my points, I didn't eat very healthy. This morning the scale showed it, too. I was up to 212.8! Granted that's still below my weigh-in weight on Saturday, but I was up more a pound from yesterday. I know I didn't eat enough to calories yesterday for that to be an actual 1.4 pound gain, so I'm hoping that after a couple of good bowel movements (haha) and lots of water today, that it will head back down tomorrow.
BUT, I will likely be eating pizza for dinner, which won't be exactly helpful. Our Sojourners group is having Family Night and bringing pizza for all of us and kids are invited. We'll get there about 45 minutes late since my daughter has swimming lessons, so if it's already cold and gross, I'll skip it. But I did plan ahead and have only eaten 12 of my 18 points. So, if I have a couple of pieces of pizza, it will be okay.
Here's an updated progress chart.
