1 Week Down and a New Milestone


A week ago I announced my 1 month plan to drop additional weight before vacation.  I am now 7 days in, and have been holding strong on my 1200 calories a day diet.  Although I didn’t weigh myself until day 3, I have been disappointed with the extremely slow weight loss.  Today I had a blip in the slow weight loss.

Throughout this summer I was never able to pull under 298.  It was a number that started to haunt me in my dreams.  Well this morning when I stepped on the scales it gave me the number 295.6.  I stepped on it three times to make sure I wasn’t seeing things.  So for the first time the scales have given me significant movement since June.  Also the first time I have seen 295 since my son was born.    Which means I am officially the lightest my kids have ever seen me, which is kind of awesome if you think about it.  Here is a look at my diet for the day (And I use the term diet simply as what I am eating today.)

Morning: Special K Protein Bar (180 Calories)

Mid Morning Snack: None

Lunch: 1 slice whole wheat bread, 2 oz starkest tuna, hardboiled egg, diced pears and apples in light syrup (298 Calories)

Mid Afternoon Snack: Hardboiled egg, 1 low fat string cheese (128 Calories)

Dinner:  1 cup chili with cheese (344 Calories)

Evening Snack: ¾ cup Honey Bunches of Oates, 1 cup skim milk,1 low fat string cheese (256 Calories)

Total for the day was 1206 calories.  This may be my closest to 1200 yet.  I even got in a workout last night, even if it was a small one.  I was getting hungry and decided to push out an Ab Ripper 200 instead of eating a snack cake.  I believe the right decision was made.  Well that is all for today.  Tomorrow I start the second week on my 1 month weigh down, I would love to drop another 5.  Until then…
