weight at the beginning of this week (monday): 197.2

weight today (Thursday): 195 (-2.2)

So the weigh in today was quite good and I’m pleased because I lost basically 2 pounds in three days which I’m happy with.  However, I faced a huge challenge last night, where I semi-sabotaged myself.  I got back from the gym and had a healthy snack of yogurt and cereal which was perfect. and I drank all of my water. then i had some pretzels and cream cheese, and some noodles and tofu, and some chips and cheese…obviously i didnt need any of that, and clearly I still am not immune to temptation…definitely something to work on.

I feel like in a way I need, not a cheat day, but an allowed higher calorie day, to allow for a few treats etc, so i think that day will be thursday or friday, whatever day I weigh in since I have about a week from there till the next weigh in.  so maybe most days my calories will be about 1100-1200, and on Weigh in Day I get about 1300-1400.

I’m going home this weekend, and I’m very excited. hopefully i can focus on schoolwork, eating well, and seeing my family.

today:

breakfast: yogurt (35), a few nuts (85), cream cheese (100), and 1/2 bagel (125)- 345

Lunch: some salad (100), some rice (130) and tofu (60), and about 1/2 cup of ice cream (110)- 400

Snack: some chips and salsa (140)

total so far: 885–>man, its a high calorie day. i should have been more careful, need to make note to REALLY watch out this weekend and next week too. id love to be in the low 190s for the next weigh in
