Day 23 and 24 - Down 2.6

Hell yea....hell yea... :0) Not only am I finally in the 230's, but I have now officially lost 50lbs!!!! (and the crowd goes wiiiilllddddd)

I write this good news, however I did not have a very good lunch today. My customer/boss insisted that I go with her to lunch, and well....how do you tell the woman who keeps you employed "no"? I should have stuck to a strategy of eating only half the meal, but instead I ate the whole thing. It wasn't awful, but all the same. I'm going to go without dinner and see if it effects me too badly. For those of you interested in what I ate (aka: the true fatties at heart), it is kabob Thursday at FEMA. So I had a chicken kabob, which would have been fine if that's the only thing they gave me. But the kabob also comes with about 3/4 cup of rice, a small salad, and a piece of naan. I didn't eat it all, but I ate enough of it all the same.

Maybe a little working out is in order tonight ;0)

Also, I decided to stay on the protocol for the 45 days. I'm already half way through, and Jami is right. The summer will make it incredibly hard to adhere to phase two. The good thing about this strategy is that I will still give myself a good amount of time to lose some weight. It may not be the 40lbs I was envisioning, but even if it's 20lbs that will still make me feel better about myself! I also calculated my daily weight loss and it comes to an average of about 0.65lbs per day. I couldn't get those same numbers on my own...! So even though its not 1lb per day, it's still a good number and I'm going to roll with it.
