Day 8, 9, 10 and 11 - Sticking to It and Dropping Pounds

Well, I weighed on Friday.  My weight was 231.5, which is a 6 pound loss!  I am absolutely thrilled, to say the least.  This is the payoff I have been hoping for. 

We went out to eat on Saturday and ended up going to Red Lobster where Kevin and I both ate very healthy dishes.  I'm finding that going out to eat is not that difficult.  The keys that I have discovered are:
Go to the web and pick out a meal (checking the nutrition information, of course) BEFORE you go
Don't look at a menu
Turn away the bread when the server brings it
Unsweetened tea with Splenda does the trick for me

I am so pleased that it has worked out so well.  I continue to stick to the plan like glue and am discovering that walking during the week is very doable.  The weekends are more difficult with so much going on, but that's ok - I can deal with it as long as I plan, plan, plan.

I am excited to go into the Dr. office on Friday morning to 'officially' weigh, pick up my food, and start the next two weeks all over again.  I am hoping to be down a total of 10 pounds by Friday.  I will be satisified regardless, as I am very confident in my food choices this past two weeks.  I can do this.  As the great Yoda once said:  "Try not.  Do or do not.  There is no try."

Hell yes, Yoda.  Hell, yes.
