Days 60 to 65 - Some Things Getting Easier and Another Weigh In

Good Afternoon! Here it is another Monday and my posts haven't been as frequent as I want them to be. I'm back to work, so often I'm out and about early and by the time I land, all my creativity has gone out the window.

Here's the news everybody looks for - my weigh in numbers!

Day 1 - 235.8
Week 1 - 233.2
Week 2 - 226.8
Week 3 - 226.0
Week 4 - 225.4
Week 5 - 224.0
Week 6 - 224.2
Week 7 - 223.2
Week 8 - 222.2

Week 9 - 221.6 A loss of .6 pounds. 

Total loss - 14.2 pounds - Still over a pound a week. And about 7 pounds per month. If I keep that up, I WILL exceed my goal by 2017. I MUST focus on staying the course, then I'll reach the goal even faster!

From what I see, though, I have to get back with it and be more attentive to my intake. While I'm working, oftentimes it's hard to eat the things I should as I have to enjoy lunch at restaurants with clients, etc. The good thing is that my bad habits, i.e. cheese for snack at nights, frequent stops at Starbucks, candies and sweets in the house, etc. are all things of the past, which helps to account for my continued weight loss.

Some things that I'm finding that are getting easier: tying my shoes, walking greater distances (just a little, but it's becoming noticeable), clothing beginning to fit a little looser.

Here's a photo of one of the lunches I prepared this week:

Chicken breast, roasted cabbage and cranberry. Was quite tasty!

Some filet mignon sounds real good right now. If I can put Costco on my destination list for this week, I may just have to pick up a package of filets and have a filet and shrimp dinner! That won't hurt the diet at all!

Here's a video about Eric & Peety - Eric adopted Peety from a Humane Shelter. Eric was 340 pounds and asked for an overweight dog to be his buddy during his weight loss journey. It's inspirational! Enjoy!

I've got a long way to go, so keep me on your radar! I'll keep you posted.

In the meantime - Have a great week!
