Well, I had a wonderful weekend with my folks, and I was sad to see it end. And, yes, there was a lot of food. I did okay. Robert says I did very well. I dunno. What I do know is, all in all, I weighed in this morning, and I did have a net loss:
This week: -0.6 lbs.
Total weight: -8.9 lbs.
A few points of note from the last few days of my life:
1) I weighed myself before going to NH. If I'd called it then, I would have lost more than 2 lbs. last week. I was almost at 11 lbs on Thursday morning. So, I really did gain about 1 and a half lbs back this weekend.
2) There were lots of temptation, but what I was good at was portion control. A taste of a few things, but no seconds of anything. I ate very well at breakfast and lunch, and dinners were a bit more full. I did, however, refuse, much to my mother's chagrin, to have a birthday cake this weekend, but there were some cookies, and there was some gingerbread, and I tasted each.
3) Misty and I went to the Power Pilates class again on Saturday. We did much better, and the recovery time was much more reasonable this time! :-)
4) I had to go pants shopping, because I'm definitely DOWN A SIZE since this started. It felt great... and I'm glad I have some new clothes that look good. I didn't get a ton -- just a few pairs, on extreme sale at the outlets, but it will help out for a while.
5) I've now had a few people (who know I'm dieting) tell me that they can start to see some of the weight loss, especially in my face. Makes me feel good!
I'm 8 weeks into it, and feeling like I'm gaining some good ability to get to a 10 pound loss in the next 2 weeks, and staying focused.
Thanks for reading!
