Weigh-In

This morning was my weigh in day. I really thought my weight was going to be up - I hadn't done the best job of tracking, and I had eaten a lot of bad stuff over the weekend. But instead, it was down quite a bit! 1.3 lbs, to be exact!

That brings me to 135.1 lbs. Still a ways to go until I'm in the 120s, but I'm very pleased with the loss. Hopefully it's a real loss and not just a reflection of the fact that I only ate dinner for 2 days. This loss earned me another milestone on Weight Watchers - I've lost 10 lbs now! If I was a meetings member I would get a little charm I think, but online I just get a little badge thing.

Yesterday's eating was a little more balanced, but not by much. I had a grande skim latte from Starbucks, which is 2 PP, for breakfast. Lunch was an Italian Meatball and Marinara Lean Pocket, 7 PP. I also had a little can of Diet Pepsi - I buy those mini cans they sell in the grocery store, so that I don't drink too much. I love diet soda but there seems to be more and more research coming out that shows it's really bad for you. I know many people would tell me my Lean Pocket is also bad for me, but I find them really yummy and satisfying, and they're easy. I'm a big believer in just doing what you can without being crazy, and I don't have the time or energy usually to make myself healthy meals with only whole foods in them. I may have the time right now, but come medical school in August, I definitely won't, and I don't want to make changes I can't stick to.

For dinner, we got Chicken Out, a carryout rotisserie place in the DC area. I had a Caesar salad with grilled chicken. Of course, the salads came with these delicious buttermilk biscuits that were still warm from the oven, and I just had to have one. So I only ate half of the salad to make up for it. And of course, a glass of champagne! 5 PP for the biscuit, 7 PP for the salad, 3 PP for the champagne. We ate dinner and watched The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Champagne, salad (no biscuit because it was eaten immediately!)

I had a CT scan yesterday to look at my sinuses, and today I have a doctor's appointment to go over the results. I'm hoping she'll see something that is obviously causing all my headaches, and will have an easy solution for it. I had a bad headache all day yesterday, and I'm really getting sick of them. There's also a huge storm system rolling into DC at the moment - hopefully it doesn't get so bad that I can't even go to my appointment!
