Dropping Pounds and Feeling Great

I did my weigh-in this past Wednesday, and I am happy to say that I dropped another 2.4 pounds this week.  My total weight loss in three weeks now is 12.6 pounds.  Again, this being a fundraiser, I have raised $107.10 for the American Heart Association, and am more than 25% towards my fundraising goal of $400 for the 26-week period.

The biggest challenge this week was simply not eating fastfood.  I did slip up one time when I went to McDonalds and ate a Fish sandwich.  Normally this would have been detrimental for me, because it usually comes with a large soda and a large fry.  However, I had just the sandwich and water, so I elimianted wasteful, loaded points and consumed more water.  Not proud of the fact that I gave into temptation, but happy that I made smarter decisions.  Of course, the smartest decision here would be to not eat at McDonald’s at all, but I was proud of the fact that I controlled my consumption here.  And I also stayed within my point total for the day, so it wasn’t a huge hit.  In fact, the sandwich was allowed with my points.

Anyways, we’re going out for dinner tonight and then to a movie, so we’ll see how I do.  My next weigh-in will be in a few short days.  I’ll keep everyone posted.
