I didn’t get around to posting yesterday. Apparently they have been watching our web use at work so I no longer feel comfortable posting there and then I was out too late last night. Anyway, on with the post.

Weigh-in day and weight was 180. Yay, 5% goal attained! But then it took me about 10 minutes to try to figure out how to set my next goal in WW on-line. It actually wasn’t that hard, I was just being stupid. I’ve set my next goal to be 170 which is another 10 lbs, though 171 will be a total of 10% weight loss. At 176 I slip out of “obese” and into “overweight”. Much rejoicing will then ensue.

I don’t really have much else to post today. Work has just been silly and somewhat stressful, but I’ve been going to the gym and eating fairly well. Funny how after eight or so weeks on plan, I find myself slipping a bit here and there - an Oreo cookie here or a few extra points there. I need to nip that in the bud. It’s usually about this time that the boredom starts to set in and I just have to remind myself that I have an end goal and I have to get there.

I have to say though that one thing that is interesting is that I find myself ordering off the appetizer menu in restaurants or making an effort to eat vegetarian when I go out and that seems to be a good approach. Soup is always a good option too (as long as it isn’t cream based) and luckily I find soup comforting in the fall. It means that I have been eating some very good and different food these days - and that’s never a bad thing.
