Last night was week 3 weigh in and I lost 4 more pounds. As a team we lost 10 total! We are doing so well. Jim had a bad week but is pumped again to lose 8 or more this week to make up for this week's 2 lb lost. We told Jim we are a family & if he every needs to talk to give any one of us a call, we are there for him. Total so far for me at work is 17 lbs but at home it is 20 lbs because I don't weigh in my work clothes & shoes. Almost half way to my goal. Thank God I have been working on what I eat because Rachel is not home right now and I am all alone in the house. Every time I feel like eating when I'm not hungry I work or read my book and get a glass of water. I can do this. I always do a last minute workout like on the Biggest Loser and that screws up my water & food for about a half day. We do what we have to do. We had our Packer party at work and I ate a sub & veggies. They had no fruit so it's a good thing I brought mine along. On my last break I didn't go in the lunch room so the food wouldn't tempt me and it worked. I did have my rice cakes & pretzels along for a quick snack. It is becoming much easier. Today Rachel & I wanted to go out to eat but couldn't find a restaurant with food that didn't have a shit load of calories or salt so we ate at home. You should see us on our laptops looking at what each sandwich would cost us in calories, not good out there. It most likely will be a salad and we split a half of sandwich. Restaurants need to have more healthy food choices. I can see this was a source of weight gain for us. Unless that is your only meal for the day we need to be so careful on our choices when eating out. Rachel read somewhere that when your food comes and you are not sharing a dinner with someone get a box and put half the meal away right on the spot. If we don't practice this behavior we do over eat because the food is in front of us calling out eat me eat me!
Packers play Sunday and I am going to have a beer to celebrate. I can't wait it's been three weeks!
Congrats!!
