Less than 100 pounds to go! WOOHOO!
Last week I was a bit worried. I started out the week craving so much food. We ate out a few times right off the bat simply because we were lazy (er, I was lazy, he was sick). Husband stayed home *all* week due to being sick, which I caught by Tues., which also meant no gym. Yup, zero trips! I remember on Sunday evening, as he was feeling cruddy from the cold just kicking in, we settled on pizza and a movie. I knew it was wrong, that it was a lot of calories, that I should only eat maybe 2 slices of pizza and 1 bread stick, but I just couldn't help myself. 3 pieces and 3 pieces of Crazy Bread later, I didn't regret my choices at all! If anything, I wanted more! >.< Come Tuesday, I ate the leftovers. I had a horrible doctor's appointment that was excruciatingly painful. So what did I do, I ran to food for comfort. /sigh
Add to that the trip to a Mexican restaurant where our fav. waiter changed to and who always gives us free dessert. We tried to eat relatively well. I chose fajitas again, which I never eat more than maybe a third of, and husband chose some steak thing. He had looked up the cals, added it to his journal, specified for the waiter which dish it was and he still got the wrong one (one that was WAY higher in cals). We're both too nice to have pointed out the mistake, esp. since the waiter is someone who we've requested for over 2 years now. But to drive the sword in even further, he brought us this huge brownie sundae. Omg, it was incredible! (It probably wasn't, but we don't eat dessert very often anymore, so it was!) Yeah, see what kind of a week we are talking about now?
We got better as the week went on. The colds let us, we ate at home, we kept checking the scale throughout the week to make sure things were okay. And while on one hand I keep thinking "don't you dare step on that scale other than weigh-in day!" I kind of think checking a couple/few times is good. It's good to know the difference between morning pre-food/dehydrated weight and end of the day post-food/hydrated weight. And it's good to catch things before they are out of hand. While I hope it doesn't happen, if I were gaining weight, I would want to catch it as early as possible to fix things.
We took pictures and measurements yesterday and decided to make them coincide. It'll be much easier looking back to say "I weighed X in that photo" if it's on the same day as a weigh-in rather than in-between. I was a bit disappointed that after combing over both photos and trying to spot differences, I saw none. I could tell the husband's double chin is getting smaller, but nothing for me. It might be too early, as he said, I was just hoping 20 pounds would show somewhere.
The new measurements didn't help much either. I think the hard part there is that it's hard to measure in the exact same place. I have freckles/moles I use as landmarks for certain ones, but not all. So while some measurements were down, others increased, which made no sense. I know, like he pointed out, that it could just be that he pulled the tape measure too tight last time, or it was in a different spot, but darn it, they better come down!
