7.5 lbs. lost this month
7.5 lbs. lost YTD
I absolutely couldn't wait to get up this morning and weigh myself.
How happy I was to see a 2 lb. weight loss. The only remotely scary thing is that I ate hardly anything yesterday so I'm sure a lot of this weight loss was due to that. So I'm wondering what it would have been had I ate a bit more yesterday. This is why it's good to weigh yourself on a Tuesday and not a Monday. Who wants to weigh themselves on a Monday right after the weekend? That would be crazy. Allison Sweeney is having something on her website for The Biggest Loser and you have to weigh in on Monday. Again.....that's crazy.
I'm also involved in that Diet Bet Challenge that I spoke of earlier. So far, I'm down 4.8 lbs. there so I'm 52% towards my goad of a 4% weight loss for the month. If I make it, I get to share in the $18,150 pot for my $50 investment. I just have some concerns about people being able to cheat this system and participating in the pot......not sure how they would do it but I'm sure it's possible.
I'm starting the day off with a blueberry muffin and hoping to continue later on with a Jenny Craig dinner. Tomorrow I'll be in the city seeing a play and going out to dinner so that's not going to be a great day eating wise but I will try to watch what I eat.
So I just plugged in that large blueberry muffin into my Lost It app and it's 546 calories. That's incredible and it's the last time I'll have that. I'm loving this app because it tells me how many calories I have eaten in a day and then how many calories in the week. And then it tells you how many calories under your weekly budget you end up at.
This afternoon I had some celery sticks with peanut butter on them for a snack. The celery is basically nothing calorie wise but the two tablespoons of peanut butter is huge at 283 calories. After seeing how many calories my blueberry muffin was combined with my snack, I knew I HAD to have a Jenny Craig dinner which I did. I went with the Mesquite Chicken which was decent and filling.
Had I not had that Lose It app, I wouldn't have known how many calories these things were and would have continued eating them.....which I won't do any longer. A lesson learned today.
