Another good week on the plan. I lost only 1 pound this week but that's okay after a better than average week last week. I am now sitting at 321 pounds and very close to the threshold of being in 310's. It is always motivating to see a new number on the scale unless it is a bigger number. I have been eating a few more veggies this week which is good. Lots of zucchini and cucumbers and spaghetti squash although I did overcook the squash quite a bit and ended up with spaghetti mush. It tasted okay but the texture was a bit gross. I have been doing a good job of not cheating even though at times it can be hard. I went to a church function last night that included cupcakes from a very talented baker, but I simply smelled one and that was enough. I do find myself bemoaning the fact that all the skinny people around me are indulging but if I eat one it will kill me. It doesn't seem fair sometimes but I know that if I keep on plan I'll not only lose weight but I am healthier as a result. I have many clothes that are starting to feel loose on me which is nice. It won't be long and I'll be back in most of my old clothes that I couldn't bear to throw away. In a way I am looking forward to the end of the holidays, which really hasn't begun, because there are so many sweets around that it is hard to be good. I think this time of year more than any other it is important to have sweet substitutes on hand and ready. Even if you go a little overboard on them that's still better than cheating. I do have off-days scheduled for Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Other than that no cheating! I have a goal to get to somehow in the midst of all this holiday craziness. I am now 4 pounds from my first mini-goal of losing 50 pounds by December 6th. Then another 50 pounds by June 6th of 2017 and I will be down 100 pounds. Still a ways to go after that but right now my only thought is losing 4 more pounds. Then I can worry about the next goal and the next.
