Fourteen . Six

Hi. So I'm now officially down 14.6 pounds. This weekend I went away to a bridal shower out of town. I was staying at my friend the bride's house, and brought my food scale. When possible, I measured my food out. When not possible, I did the best I could. I brought my own fruit and bagels for breakfast.
I did have one moment of weakness. After the shower we went out for dinner. I had been really, really good at the shower, despite the absolutely mouth-watering looking lasagna that I was dying for. And instead of cake I had one (1, count them) chocolate strawberry. Then we went out to dinner. And I got wings and cheese fries. I KNOW, not the best. Actually, the worst. But I had about six wings and a handful of fries. I didn't scarf, like I would have in the past. I stopped eating - not when I was full, because my perception of when I'm full and the reality of it are two different things- but when I knew I had had enough food.
And I lost two pounds for the week!!

Here are the numbers:
Monday, 7/17: 885 calories (I'm sorry I think this is an overlap), 14 glasses water, workout
Tuesday, 7/18: 1048 calories, 14 glasses water, workout
Wednesday, 7/19: 1257 calories, 14 glasses water,
Thursday, 7/20: 1414 calories, 14 glasses water, workout
Friday, 7/21: 1271 calories, 14 glasses water, workout
Saturday, 7/22: 1613 calories, 11 glasses water, (cheese fries and wings day)
Sunday, 7/23: 1250 calories, 14 glasses water
Monday, 7/24: 1406 calories, 14 glasses water, workout

There they are, on to next week!
