WEEK 4 -- DAY 26 -- A DAY AT HOME

I've said this before  -- a Saturday at home with nothing to do is one of my favorites.  Was going to try to have something low cal for breakfast but woke up to an almond croissant my husband had gotten for me at the bakery this morning.  Who am I to turn down such a nice gesture?

Went out later in the day to get my nails done and stopped into the supermarket to get something for dinner.  Got my husband some stuffed cabbage and mashed potatoes.....got myself a Weight Watchers dinner which was actually pretty tasty.  It was rigatoni in vodka sauce and was under 300 calories.

Whenever I have a few back to back not so great days, it's always good to have a real diet kind of day.  According to my Lose It app, I've eaten 1006 calories under what my required amount is in order to lose a pound a week.  This means I'm about 2000 calories under my budget for the week.  I plan on having another good day tomorrow so if these numbers continue, I will have had to lose at least one pound this week.

EDIT:  By 9PM I was hungry and ended up having 4 Chips Ahoy Chocolate Chip cookies.  Still well under my calorie budget.

How do you know you're losing weight other than the obvious?  For me, I notice that my watch is looser on my wrist.  I remember years ago when I was trying to lose weight and was walking everyday.  One of the most significant things that I noticed was that my calves got smaller.  One day I was getting a pedicure and the person who did my pedicures noticed that they were thinner.  That was a great day.  I want that to happen again.  I can't walk now because it's below twenty degrees but hope to add this to my weight loss "plan".
