Chugging Along....

I'm down another 0.6 pounds this week, bringing my total loss to 11 pounds! I was sure I had gained this week. We had a luncheon for my SIL at Sam Choy's BLC (Breakfast, Lunch and Crab) on Saturday. I had a veggie wrap, but then went nuts on the french fries. Then, we had dinner at my in-laws' on Sunday night. I always eat way too much because my MIL always makes SO MUCH FOOD! You can overeat just by having a little bit of everything. What was on the menu? Spaghetti, garlic bread, ribeye steak, hot dogs, Portuguese sausage, green salad, chips, salsa, boiled peanuts, grilled shrimp, apples and cantaloupe.

I did okay on Monday. I made some chili and rice for dinner (6 points total). Last night, Brian and I both came home late from work. We decided to go to a nearby Japanese restaurant for dinner. I was in the mood for some comfort food and ordered the chicken sukiyaki. It was delicious and the portion was generous. I ate the whole thing! I have no idea how many points it was, but it was chock full of veggies and I passed on the white rice. I'm actually craving it again!

The first step toward becoming a lifetime WW member is to achieve a weight that is within the range for my height (or outside the range with a doctor's note). The "range" they speak of is based on that stupid BMI. At 4 feet 10-1/2 inches, the absolute maximum I can weigh according to the BMI and still be considered "Normal" is about 122 pounds. That's another 15 pounds!!! The last time my weight was down that low was probably in early high school...14 years ago?! Aah, we'll see where I stand once I reach my 10% goal and go from there. :)
