Almost to goal #1!!!!

Today's trip to the nutritionist proved to be a great one! Before I went in to her office, I was talking to my mom. She asked how I thought I did this week. After working all day Saturday and having a crazy busy day at church and work Sunday, I figured I had only lost about a pound. To my surprise I got on the scale and it said 242.8!!! That makes a total loss of 14.2 pounds! Surely I will be well below my goal by the time next Monday rolls around. It is so exciting to be seeing results. Sunday was pretty rough for me. Had I planned ahead and packed my meals, etc, I am certain it would've been easier to stay on track. I did manage to stay below 1800 calories. When I spoke to Emily I told her about my "binge" day and how I ate so much. I then had to back track. Ya know, I used to eat close to 4000 calories a day...I guess a "binge" day of 1700 isn't so bad! This means that next week I will post measurements and pictures. Oh boy....

After my successful office visit I went out to lunch with a friend. I was really nervous about making good choices but I think I did. I had a salad with grilled steak, no avocado, cheese and dressing on the side. Unfortunately I did eat some chips and salsa but I tried to limit them. One thing I have found about eating out is that when I am done, I put my trash on my plate. This way I don't continue to nibble. It worked today! When I found myself still munching on the nachos I put a napkin over them and the salsa on top. Finished!

We are going to a wedding this Saturday. None of my dresses (all 3 of them lol) are appropriate or the right size! My friend and I went shopping. It was so nice to be trying on a size 18. That is big. I know it. But it sure is better than a 22!! PLUS I even bought 2 pairs of size 16 shorts/capris! WOWWY!!

All in all today was a great day. My goals for this week are to exercise and plan my meals out a bit better. I am working on my grocery list tonight and hopefully I can get some meals figured out for the week. Tonight was shrimp and pasta. Oh so yummy and under 300 calories!

Time to work on that grocery list! Here's to a great tomorrow.
