16 weeks and 50lbs lost

Feb 19, 2013

Woo Hoo.  I am averaging over 3lbs weight loss a week.  I could never have done this without surgery.  I have 60lbs more to hit goal.  I went away for the weekend for my son's hockey tournament and my eating was not terrific but it wasn't horrible either.  Overall I think I did great with getting protein in and no sugar.  I ate some ice rink popcorn and that wasn't a great choice but I am not going to beat myself up over it.  My reality is that I didn't lose any weight this week but I also didn't gain any weight.  I was eating about 1200 calories a day because of snacking so I am back home and back on track.  In a past diet I would have gained weight and gone straight off my diet instead of finding a new resolve to push ahead and continue working on good habits.  I didn't stuff myself at any point over the weekend so I wasn't getting sick and considering it was a rushed and busy weekend that is a gold star for me.  Next time it will be a ribbon and the next a trophy...who knows where this could lead.  A curio cabinet for all my awards?  : )

 I want a new bathing suit this summer.  My goal is a size 14.  That means I have to drop 2 sizes by say June...we'll see if that happens.
