Morning Weigh In: Down .2 lbs.

I know we’re told to stay away from beer and the calories prohibit us from enjoying this small pleasure. But I’ve got to tell you, as I look back on my journals and my calorie database that I’ve been keeping, I don’t see this as a big factor. In fact, many times that I’ve had a beer or two I realize a loss the next day.

Maybe I’m wrong and I’ll definitely bring this up at my follow up appointment, but it seems that beer gets a bad rap. Maybe it’s like everything else; as long as it’s not abused, you won’t really see it on the scale. There are a lot of people I know who would rather sit down to an entire chocolate cake instead of a couple of beers. More power to them. Me? I’d rather put on my cozies, put my feet up, watch the game and have a few. Keep the cake. I’ll pass.

Today, the scale reads that I’ve lost another .2 pounds. That now puts me at an even 138. The only thing that I can see that will alter this downward pattern is the all not-so-subtle hints of my menstrual cycle approaching. I’m sure that this will toss my weight around again such as it did last month. The water weight gain and the bloating are always so much fun and a pleasure to look forward to. Right.

Breakfast: coffee, water, egg beaters (with onion, green pepper, cheese), small orange juice
Lunch: (nothing)
Dinner: meatloaf, two bites of potatoes (shame! shame!)
Snack: handful of almonds and Dubliner cheese

TOTAL ESTIMATED CALORIES: 609
