I’ve been lazy about updating the last two weeks. My daughter’s 5th birthday party was on the 16th, and I didn’t behave myself as much as I should have. What can I say?…I’m a sucker for Costco cake. Luckily when I weighed in I ended up at exactly the same weight as the previous week. Yay!

Then, being the control freak I am…I got mad at myself for losing a week of progress. After seeing a friend who has lost 30+ lbs in just a few months (and is looking awesome) I got more motivated, and stepped it up. I discovered Fiber One bars at Costco, munched many Boca burgers or turkey sandwiches on “Sandwich Thins” and started drinking more water. The increase in fiber really does help with feeling full. So last Monday, I weighed in with a shocking 4.4 lb loss for the week!

I don’t feel like I have been nearly as good this week, so we’ll see what happens tomorrow morning.

*Update*

Weigh-in results: -2 lbs., for a total of 16.4 lbs.!

Honestly, I am pretty annoyed today. I was irritable to begin with and then I weighed in. I feel like I busted my ass all week for 1.6 lbs. 1.6? Really!? Of course my husband weighed in and lost 5.6 after eating the same stuff. The only thing I am really happy about right now…is that I have lost 10 lbs. total. It’s been a slow process, and I gave up for 2 months…but I’m getting somewhere. Even if it’s not as fast as I would have liked it to happen.

Okay, I know I said tomorrow for the brownies…but hubby baked up a batch. Ours were 4 points each instead of 3 due to using a muffin pan for 1/12 portions instead of 1/20. Verdict: Soooo good.
