I lost another pound this week bringing the total up to 6 pounds lost. I also have officially stuck to the diet for a full month, which is nothing short of miraculous. I should reach my first goal of 10 pounds lost within the next couple weeks. After that I will recalibrate my points and new weight goal. Currently, I have 26 daily points, 35 floating points per week and activity points based on how active I am during the week. Normally, I only use about 10-12 of the floating points and have yet to have to touch my activity points. I had 27 for this week alone. For my height (5′9″) the healthy weight range is between 135-169. Thats not even taking into account my gigantic boobs.  I’m aiming for something in the middle to higher end since I have a large frame. At my lowest weight when I was 16 and still the same height, I was 128, but my average after that point was 145-150, which is my end goal target weight, but I can’t see getting down that far, best case scenario, for another 6-8 months. I’d even be happy with 155-160.

Its been a month since I’ve stopped somewhere on the way home to grab dinner i.e. Wawa, Quiznos, Chinese etc. We’ve gone out to eat several times for social occasions, but the frequent “i’m too lazy/tired/whatever to make dinner when I get home so lets get something on the way home from work” behavoir has stopped.

I’ve also brought my lunch to work every day for a month, only going out to eat once, yesterday at a local pizza/diner joint. Even then, I got a tuna sandwich on whole wheat bread with potato chips. It was a little more than I consume points wise for lunch, but I ended up under my daily allotment by 1.5 points. Considering that I used to eat in the cafeteria or out at local places every single day, this is quite a major accomplishment.

I still have room for improvement when it comes to exercise, but that is mostly due to the fact that I’ve been sick for the better part of the past 2-3 weeks. Its not to say that I am not getting any type of activity, its just limited to my daily traversing to and from my car, running errands, cleaning, shovelling snow, grocery shopping etc. It is, however, better than sitting on my ass doing nothing.

On the TMI front, since its the PMS week and fastly approaching the full of time o’ the month, I have not, yet at least, succumb to my usually behavoir. I have not stopped at McDonald’s for my monthly grease fix. I have not requested that Tim bring me a steak from Outback. I haven’t scarfed down anything and everything in sight that is made of beef, salty, greasy or chocolatey. Though I did make some nommy nachos the other night, reduced fat cheese is my new best friend. I love cheese, I really do. Most nonfat or fat free stuff is vile. Reduced Fat or Low Fat is the way to go. Seriously, fat free sour cream and cream cheese is a crime against humanity. But, I digress…
