Day 42 - 48, New Year

Week 7  and I was down another 1.2 lbs...total loss so far is 14 lbs. I am 9 lbs away from 10%. That's exciting :)

I've been doing ok. Weekends have become a challenge for me - I'm staying within my points (DP and WP) but eating crappy food on the weekends and it needs to stop. I'm all about having a treat if I really want it, or enjoying a decadent food just because it tastes good, but this is just mindless eating because I can't be bothered to cook. The food is crappy in nutrition and satisfaction - it's just blah! This weekend I'm going to break the cycle.

Valentine's Day came and went, and it was my first Valentine's Day as a single person since I was 13! The day didn't suck as much as I thought it would, to be honest.  I've gone through all the firsts now - first anniversary, first birthday, first Christmas, first Valentine's......it can only get easier right? That's my hope anyway :) I think the next "hard" thing will be the boys' birthdays and Liam's is in a few weeks.

It's a long weekend here in Ontario (for most of us) and I am looking forward to three days away from work.

  2. Good job coping with the first single Valentines without turning to food. Impressive. Congrats on almost being at 10% too!!!

  3. Great work on the loss! To prevent just grabbing food I cook extra on the weekend so as soon as I get home I just have to grab it out of the freezer and reheat it. May be an idea for you.

    Have a great long weekend!
