Morning Weigh In: Down .6 lbs.

We have company in town. Sort of “left-overs” from the holidays. Normally, there would be no problem, but there is a sense of pressure when going out to dinners and lunches. I find myself salivating as the bread is brought to the table or taking a bathroom break as everyone’s desert arrives. Normally, these things wouldn’t be a factor for me as I’ve made conscious decisions on where to eat and how to manage things in public. However, when you have things that are thrown into the mix that you didn’t count on, it can get a bit taxing. Today was a pretty good day. I was given the task of choosing where we would go for lunch (I think they started feeling bad for me). I chose Sweet Tomatoes – a never ending buffet of salad goodies! Now this, I can handle!

This morning, knowing that I was in for some veggie treats at lunch, I had a great attitude stepping on the scale. I’m down .6 pounds which brings me to the grand total of 137.4. Good news! Good news! It’s nice to see myself settling under the final 138 number and hopefully, I can inch down another pound (or two!). As I review notes from previous days and re-check my menu journals, I realize that this has been quite a long haul. A total of about two months (one month sent directly from the pits of hell) and the other a bit more manageable. I look forward to my final weigh-in and follow-up appointment with Dr Watwood. It is at that time where I will really get to see the changes in inches.

Breakfast: coffee, water
Lunch: salad (buffet), small cup of chili, water
Dinner: leftover meatloaf, water
Snack: Dubliner cheese

ESTIMATED TOTAL CALORIES: 745
