week 1 weigh in

My first official weigh-in at the Smart for Life center was this afternoon after work.  I made the mistake of picking up the girls from daycare before I went.  They were basket cases!  Wouldn't sit still for anything, and I couldn't get them to stop.  Ugh.  So embarassing.  I won't be doing that again any time soon.

So my fully dressed, afternoon weight was 216.8, a loss of 2.6 pounds.  Yippie?  I tell ya, my early morning BAN weight is much more exciting!! 

The doctor was in and I asked him about my being shakey before I get hungry.  He told me to go ahead and eat my cookies on a schedule instead of waiting until I feel hunger.  He also gave me an appetite supressant to help me get through the afternoon/evening hours.  Hopefully they help and next week will show a bigger loss.  Oh, I forgot to mention that TOM has been playing with me all week.  That may have something to do with the "small" first-week loss, but I won't know until next week.

When we got home, the UPS man had delivered my order of Walden Farms products from netrition.com.  WF makes "calorie-free" products.  I ordered a few different spreads to make my cookies more palatable...chocolate, marshmallow, and caramel.  They sell them at the Smart for Life center, but I can get them cheaper (including shipping) online.  Tried the chocolate with my banana cookie tonight, and it's not horrible.  Not Hershey's or Ghiradelli, but it's not cheap tasting either. 

Fluid intake for the day is sitting right at 200 ounces.  I forgot to ask about that today.  I'll have to remember to do that next week if my ravenous thirst continues.
