I just realized...

I've only be on this program for 2 weeks and 2 days and I've already lost 13lbs! For some reason I thought I was on it for 3 weeks but I just calculated and I was wrong!  That makes me feel so much better knowing that I've lost this much weight in just a short period of time!  Now I just have 75.8lbs to go!  Gosh - it seems like so much weight and like it will never happen but I'm hoping in less than 5 months I will reach my goal!

Above Average :-)

Well today was my doc's appt with the Bernstein Doctor.  I meet with her every 2 weeks.  She went over my blood work and it looks like I'm really healthy with the exception of my bad cholestoral is high.  She said this diet will take care of it and I should be fine once I lose more weight.  I am happy to see that all my other blood work came back normal too!

The doc told me I'm doing above average in terms of my weight loss.  That definitely gave me motivation and confidence that I was lacking from Wednesday's weigh in.  Oh, and I lost 1.4 lbs too today and I'm burning fat really well! 

I'm looking forward to next week's weigh in!  I do have a retirement party to go to tomorrow which will be a challenge for me but I've decided I just won't eat and my friend who's hosting it is being a sweetheart and buying me caffeine free diet pepsi!  So even though I can't drink champagne I can still celebrate with the others.

Looking forward to seeing more weight loss and I hope I can almost lose 20 lbs by Feb 1st!  I'm also looking forward to getting measured on Wednesday (I get measured every 3 weeks).  I know I've lost inches - after all, I'm down 13 lbs and they say for every 10 lbs you go down about 1 dress size. :-)

Wish me luck next week!
