And now I am well into the 180s! 186 as of 10 minutes ago. I am so thrilled. Not only did I actually meet my goals for this week, I really exceeded them. Now, I know that the generally approved weight loss is 1-2lbs/week, but I also know that this is really not going to happen much. I'm sure it was basically me kick-starting my ass into weight-loss by monitoring what I ate all week. Amazing the huge difference eating God knows how many calories (quite a few, I am sure), and then dropping to 1500 or below (usually closer to 1200, my minimum recommended) every day makes. And it's just so weird, because I don't generally feel hungry, definitely not after I eat. I eat 4-5 times per day(which is probably the biggest thing to not feeling hungry), and I still have chocolate and bread(wheat), and whatever. It's just astounding to me.

Anyway, I'll be hitting the gym in about an hour with Val. I need to eat some breakfast, drink some water, change my clothes, take the dog out, you know, all the morning stuff. And you better believe I will so be watching what I eat, but still be satisfied. I love it!

And look, now I'm even into the next BMI point down! I know, not really an accurate measure, but it makes me feel better.
