5 Pounds in Two Weeks! Woo Hoo!!

Day 30 - No Bingeing!!  ( a whole month)


I admit it. I cheated. I weighed myself a day early.  I lost 2 pounds this week for a total of 5 pounds in two weeks on Weight Watchers.  Woohoo!!  I am going strong. I feel completely satisfied with the amount of food and type of food I am eating.  Here's a typical day:


Breakfast - yogurt with blueberries and strawberries (3)
Snack - nuts (4)
Lunch - turkey, cheese, Pepperidge Farm snack sticks, grapes (8)
snack - Banana "Ice Cream" (banana blended with skim milk and cinnamon) with three pizzelle cookies (4)
Dinner - chicken breast, corn on the cob, fresh cantaloupe (7)
Dessert - Swedish Fish (4)


My weight has moved from my "disgusting/intolerable/have to stop the madness" range into my "heavier than I like but at least tolerable" range. I realize these ranges are different for everyone but I think we all have them. 
  
Evan has been attending Lego Robotics camp (4 hours a day) this week and really enjoying it. 
Emily started tennis today with the instructor at our local community college and he was amazing. I am not athletic and the only team sport I ever did was cheerleading. So, I haven't been around much coaching but I know good teaching when I see it. It was fascinating to me to see the way he went about teaching Emily the fundamentals of tennis. It sounds silly to say, but I never realized how important the serve is. I can already see that having great coaching makes a BIG difference.


Next week will be challenging food wise, because I am staying in NYC all week to go to the summer institute at Columbia Teachers College and learn from the best of the best.  Last summer it was an amazing learning experience! Dinner will be the most challenging of course.  But I am going with a plan and some healthy snacks. My goal is to maintain for the week so I do not undo my hard earned progress.  :)
