Level 1 - Day 81 (Weigh-In Day)

Slow And Steady Goes The Snail

In many ways, I feel like a snail.  They have intricate shells that hide a snail inside.  Like snails, I too have an outer shell that I call unwanted fat ... and inside the shell  is the skinny person I want to be.  So, I'm working hard to get rid of that shell.

Second, the scale has been moving like a snail, too.  With the exception of the first few weeks, and one week where I gained a pound due to lots out-of-town company, I've been consistently losing one pound per week.  And that's okay with me.  I read somewhere that if you lose weight too fast, it will come back even faster.

So with that said, I'm delighted to tell you that I lost another pound this week.  Making a total of 17 pounds; with 13 to go.  Yeah.  And my hubby lost one pound, too.  So, he's back to the original 21 pounds he lost about a month ago.  Hopefully, the scale will continue to move for him, as well, so he can reach his goal of 30 pounds.

I think he was kidding, and maybe not.  But, my hubby told me he wanted to give me a chance to catch up to him for all my hard work in planning and preparing all the meals.  What do you think?  Am I being scammed?

Breakfast - The last of the Cheerios with non-fat milk.

AM Snack - A yummy fruit smoothie.

Lunch - Leftover Veal Stew from day 78.

PM Snack - Hard-boiled egg.

Dinner - It was a crazy day, and no time to cook.  So, my hubby picked up a Subway sandwich ... one of those "Jared" varieties.  It sure tasted good to have some luscious bread.  I savored every mouthful.
