Days 14 & 15: Back to the Scales

Before we get to the all important update, I suppose I should say a few words about yesterday. Pretty decent day. It was very uneventful as I had the day off from my main job. However I behaved very well anticipating my step on the scales this morning. Donnie and I had Chipotle for dinner. It's pretty much our favorite place that doesn't break the bank. I managed to turn my favorite burrito into a very tasty, starch free, bowl. I even spoiled myself and got the guacamole! It was so good I barely missed the rice and tortilla.

On to today. This morning I found out that I've lost 2.8 lbs. this week for a total of 3.4 lbs lost. I'm a whole lot happier with my results this week. In the past I've lost weight a lot faster at the beginning of a diet, but those diets never lasted this long without big slip-ups. I have a feeling that this is more of a permanent change. While I can't see my results in the mirror yet, I can definitely feel a change in my energy level. I feel healthier, and right now, I can't see giving that feeling up.

My sisters and I keep joking about what we're going to eat on October 1. So far, it looks like the menu will take all of October and undo all of September's work! But I'm pretty sure we're just joking. I may, however, have to indulge in a little pasta when the time comes... maybe I'll get the whole grain kind.
