The verdict is in and I lost .6 pounds. I have decided that I am satisfied with that because it is a loss and it's a healthy one. You can't really expect to lose 2 pounds after having just lost 3 the previous week.
I am disappointed, however, in my overall loss since the beginning of the year. It's been 1 1/2 months and I haven't even lost 5 pounds. The going is slooooow. This didn't happen 2 years ago! I must be getting old. I'm almost 26 now.
Valentine's Day was awesome! Mike's sister is the executive director for an AIDS housing company in Seattle and they had a big evening full of wine, food, and silent auctioning. Tickets were $150 a plate and that was Mike's gift to me because I really wanted to go but couldn't afford it. It was called "Love Without Boundaries" and was lovely. Mike's sister bought us a tote bag full of goodies that included funny boxer shorts, a big pink boa (which I wore that night along with a bunch of other people), a chocolate body stencil kit, a bottle of wine, and a bunch of other fun things. They were also trying to raise $60,000 for a generator for the AIDS houses, so there was an auction for donations. It turns out we exceeded their needs and they made more than enough money for it. Then there was a drawing for a $150 magnum bottle of wine. Guess who won it. Me! Out of I-don't-know-how-many hundreds of people.
Today I'm going out with my sister and dad to HD Hotspurs, which is BBQ food. I love restaurant websites because I can look at the menu and choose exactly what I want before I even go there. I got to weigh my options and see what would be the best choice for my diet.

Slow
A loss is a loss! I know what you mean with it going slower than usual. This time around its not only harder but its alot slower than before. Weird, huh?! Well as long as we keep on going and keep pushing through were going to get through it all! I hope yuo have a nice time at the BBQ Resturant! I love BBQ food!!! Yumm-O!
I'm glad you had an awesome valentine's day! Thanks for your comment on my blog... it does help a lot to know others are in the same position. I have made almost no progress (feels like) since the beg of Jan either, at least with respect to poundage. I'm trying not to focus on that. As for you, a loss is a loss. That is something to be proud of!
WTG on the loss this week. I know its going slow but stick with it and you'll soon get back down to your goal weight!!
Glad you had such a great v-day. Sounds like a really fun time. And I have to say, I also love when restraunts have their nut. facts on their website. Makes going out to eat so much easier. Hope you had a great time eating your BBQ. I love BBQ!!!
on the weight loss!!!! Every single pound counts!! And I think slower is great! That is exactly how I am doing it this time, I am actually upping my calories and alot happier and being able to stick with it because I don't feel like I am on a diet.. :-) I have to have room for my goodies. :-)
