DREADING jumping on the scale but I though....Carolyn you said you were going to do it so just get on the damn thing and face the facts....I reluctantly got out the scale, jumped on and closed my eyes tight. When I looked down I saw a number that is 1.1 lbs LESS then last week!!! I sat there and scratched my head for about 2 minutes and then yelled for Scott. How in the world did I lose 1.1 lbs after my Easter extravaganza?!?!?!?! Don't get me wrong, I was floored! It put a nice little dent in my 10 lbs goal for June 26 anyway! I just love updating my stats on the side!I have been walking everyday on my lunch and I REALLY think that is helping out big time. I always feel so good too after I get back to work.
Tomorrow is another big trip down to Calais with Sarah (she's the one always leaving inspiring comments on my blog but uses the alias of SD...your cover is blown Sarah) She is such a great inspiration and is ALWAYS up for a walk at lunch. Whenever I had a food issue or I'm thinking about scarfing down an entire Mr. Munchy bunny, she's my go to. It so great to have a wonderful support system and to surround yourself with positive people who are in the same weight loss boat as you are. I have so many positive people around me that are constantly encouraging me on my weight loss journey. I don't know if I would have lost 61.4 lbs without them!
Today's menu...
Breakfast
All Bran - 3
1/4 cup of skim milk - 0.5
1 apple - 1
Lunch:
Michaelina's Lasagna and vegetables - 5
100 calorie Smart Pop popcorn - 1

I'm thinking of getting the Marboli Wrap (which is basically a chicken wrap) with salad and then I might see if Hubby will split a dessert seeing as this dinner is for our Birthdays! :)
Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend! I can't wait to see if I have any more find to post from Calais!!
I had a feeling you'd be down.....just from all the extra cardio we've been getting in at lunch (we POWER walk).
ReplyDeleteYou ARE going to get that 10 lbs off. Just look at what you've accomplished so far! 61lbs. Thats nuts....although anyone whose lost the weight will tell you, getting this last 10 off will be just as difficult as getting that first 60. But I think you've breached that plateau and are on your way again.
Your words about me are so kind, but honestly, you've been my support too. We're two food-aholics holding each other up. LOL
See ya tomorrow!!!! Calais here we come!!!
SD
