Low and high

Weigh-in day: down 1.8 but up in calories consumed...

Let's talk about the good stuff. I am down 14 pounds from my official DietBet weigh-in. Although I have to add a pound or two to account for the ipad I was holding to take the pictures the first time around, so it's not quite 14. But still! How great is that in a month?

Today was the first day I went over my calories. I'm not quite sure how it happened... I only got in a half a banana before sending the kiddos off to Grandma and Grandpa's and I had nearly a pound of cooked cauliflower for lunch (Mmm... I could eat that all day).

I though I was all set for date night and could order pretty confidently if we ate out. I even packed my snack for the movie: 2 servings of oyster crackers and 1 serving of chocolate animal crackers.



After the movie we did a huge trip to Sam's to stock up for 2YO's party.  He will officially turn 2 on Wednesday.  I picked up all sorts of things I can't eat, but I'm just going to have to put the leftover things away until the fourth when I can cheat a week and get back into a couple more bets.

After unloading all the groceries, Hubby and I decided not to go out to eat because the weather sirens were going off and we were under a severe thunderstorm warning - not exactly the time to head out someplace.  I heated up some leftover ribs and broccoli and must have had entirely too many ribs, because my cals jumped up pretty fast.

While I worked on party decorations, Hubby sat next to me snacking.  I couldn't resist a few mixed nuts while he had them out and then I decided it would be a good idea to try the nut, popcorn, M&MS mix I plan on throwing together.  It was so hard to stop!!!  I did track it all, at least, but I felt like I let myself down a little.

One week left until the final DietBet weigh-in.  I'm about 6 pounds past my goal (less because of the ipad weight), so I'm pretty positive I'll be fine.  Even my weakness tonight wasn't nearly what it would have been a month or two ago.  That's progress!
