FINALLY... A 'Lil Progress!

Hey everyone. I want to apologize about the randomness of my posts. This week has been kinda of ... odd on the weight loss front. I did cut my points down as I said I was going to... for the most part. I've been stressing so much over the points, The Points, THE POINTS, that I lost some of my drive and my resolve. I ate carefully this week. I took note of everything I put in my mouth. I did NOT however, count the points. (Sorry Mom. I was determined to do this my way this week so I kept my mouth shut about how I was doing it.) I lost 5 pounds this week. While I do realize that at least 4 lbs of it was water weight (the 4 lbs I gained last week "Oh! Hello Aunt Flo!" Meh) I maintained at the very least. Tomorrow, I start counting points again. 34 a day, every day. I'm going to try not to tap into the 35 "Weekly Points" if I can avoid it. We'll see what happens next week.
