Another Weightloss Milestone

I hit 185.4 this morning. As I saw the number come up on the digital read out I wondered if perhaps I was cheating by weighing myself first thing in the morning. While it is motivational for me to see the number go down I am sure I weigh more later in the day because of water loss over night and water replenishment during the day.

For now, I am going to assume that weighing myself as soon as I get up is a good thing as long as I do it at the same time everyday.

I am also going to figure out how to start adding my Fitday charts and food log to the blog. While they are motiviational for me to see, I would like to share them with everyone reading the blog.

I’m going down……

And it’s in a good way not a bad way.

I have managed to lose another 1 lb!!

I know that doesn’t sound like a large amount of weight loss but after the last two weeks any progress is better than no progress.

The week long business trip followed by a trip from Allen to Austin to visit family almost killed the eating plan a week or so ago. I cleaned up my diet and started eating Zone Paleo style during the work days but we had more family show up this weekend for an awesome wedding celebration of a family friend.

I told myself I would be good, but once I arrived at the reception willpower fled the scene and the Carb Monster reared his ugly head. Needless to say, I really enjoyed the pastry encrusted Brie, Crab Cakes, Chocolate fountain and cheesecake mixer………then we ate dinner. ARGGHH (that’s my monster sound) The risotto was to die for and the Roast was out of this world. I didn’t think caterers could put such wonderfully tasting meals together for that many people but then again I am more accustomed to lower priced caterers.

Successes:

I managed to stay away from the mashed potatoes.
I filled my plate with the correct portion of meat.
The rest of my plate was completely covered by asparagus and salad. (other than that spoonful of risotto..)
I did not drink any alcohol (which is hard to do with three fully stocked open bars.)
Managed to release a little fat for 1 lb of weight loss.

Failures:

Gave in to the Carb Monster.
Ate a ton of chocolate from the chocolate fountain (I did cover fruit with the chocolate though )
Ate too much cheese – stomach ache.
Enjoyed the cake and cheesecake a little too much.

I am back on the wagon again this morning. I started the day off with my usual egg white omelet, salsa, fish oil, and fruit. Let’s see if I can manage to stay the course for a couple more weeks, Thanksgiving is coming soon and I have a feeling the Carb Monster will want to come out and play that day.

Off for my Zone Paleo snack of 1 oz chicken, 1/2 an apple, and a yummy macadamia nut. Ciao for now.
