So I am 50 days in and the grey box rewarded me this morning with an additional 3 pounds down for a total weight loss of 24 pounds for a new weight of 200.6.  I haven’t been under 200 pounds in so long, I really can’t wait.  And of course this will be the toughest week to have a weight loss because I will be away camping for a good part of it.  But for now I am SO happy to have lost 24 pounds in 50 days.  It makes me excited about where I will be 50 days from now.  I know I will be slimmer, happier and hopefully well below 200 pounds.  I would love to see a number in the 100’s next week.  That would just feel amazing.

Tonight I went out to dinner with an old friend and did a good job of staying within my calories for the day.  I had an awesome salmon salad.   I really wanted chicken wings and a burger– but once I had the salad, it was so good I was glad I ordered it.  I now have gone 8 straight days without going over my calories.  We leave on Thursday, I would like to stay on track through Thursday– but I know Friday and Saturday will be really tough.  I know I will go over, but I don’t want to go too crazy.  I just have to keep telling myself all week that I can do it.
