Progress report
Well, it hasn’t been perfect but I’m pretty happy with how the weekend has gone so far. I got my workout in yesterday and ate according to plan. Last night I made one of my desserts and made it through without a single nibble. I honestly don’t think I have ever done that before in my life. I did choose to try one later (it was a recipe I had never made before) and one turned into 3. But before I got frustrated and threw in the towel I realized that maybe those 3 pieces added 500 calories to my day. That only equals 1/7th of a pound, not worth getting upset over. This was a huge step for me, usually I would use it as an excuse to eat like crazy all weekend.
This morning I got up and there were the bars. The thought crossed my mind to have one for breakfast but I resisted. So far my son and I have made the crusts on the 2 other desserts, once they have cooled we’ll do the last steps. But I made it through again without nibbling. I just fit in a tough workout and now the rest of the day will be spent getting cleaned up, finishing the desserts and heading to my parent’s. We’re going to go a bit early so that I can do a bit of shopping; they live in a bigger town so they have some stores that we don’t have here. It will be nice to try on some smaller sizes.
Got to go, baby needs his diaper changed. See you all tomorrow.
Oh, I almost forgot. I weighed in today instead of tomorrow because I know I’m going to eat a bit more than normal tonight. I did see 268.5 once but I saw 269.0 twice so I’m going to go with that. So since I started this 3 hour diet 2 weeks ago I have lost 8 pounds. I know this pace won’t go on forever but I’ll take it as long as it lasts. This also marks 20 pounds lost since the middle of December. If I keep up this pace (20 pounds every 3 months) I will be at 209 by mid-December. I can pick it up a notch to hit my goal of 200 by New Year’s.
