I'm thrilled to report I'm down two pounds, to 243.

I've stayed true to my no-fast-food pledge for the year. If it has a drive-thru, I don't eat there. I'm sticking to places like Trader Joe's, Rubios, and Panera for their salads, whole grain sandwiches, and fish burritos. I had a great chile-lime salmon burrito at Rubio's yesterday.

I know, I should be packing more lunches, but I'm working up to that.

I rode 20 miles yesterday, too. It took me 2:20, but I did it. Then I came home and had a hot soak and iced my knees and shoulder. I kept hearing in my head "If I'd known I'd ride past fifty, I'd have taken better care of myself," all through the last ten miles. I'll be 45 in September.

No change for me this week. I have done very little in the workout department since Sunday, so I was nervous getting on the scale this morning.
I hope next week shows a change in the right direction.

On the up side, I have valiantly resisted the Girl Scout cookies people have been bringing in to the office all week .

135. Assuming it sticks, that makes a nice round 30 pounds lost since November 5th. Yay!


Roxy - Congrats on sticking to your pledge!! It takes ALOT of discipline to break old habits and it sounds like you're doing GREAT!

I'm *finally* down this week. I think it has something to do with job decisions and lack of appetite Either way, I'll take it! 226

And I'm jealous! I fell in love with Rubio's when we visited San Diego. Sadly, there are none on the East Coast.

I journalled everything I ate this week - amazing how all that accountability helps me avoid the bakery box!

BTW, whoever mentioned MyFoodDiary.com, thanks, I really like it. It's not free, it's $9/month, but I really like the journalling feature.

I also completely cut out the after lunch cookie(s) (our lunches at work are catered & we have those big soft Peperridge farm type cookies for dessert) and the only snacks I've had for the most part have been fresh fruit. I kept my portions reasonable, and I drank lots of water.

And my scale* shows 159.5, down from 163.6. Yes!!!

(*I'm weighing myself on a different scale than last time, and my evil wretched husband just informed me that our scale tends to read low. What-ever. )

Thanks for your work on this, Possegal!

I feel that journalling my food is the most important thing for keeping me accountable. It doesn't work for everyone, but I love it.
