How I lost 2lbs this week...How did you lose a pound or two?

I lost because I was disciplined this week, more than my usual slacker ways. It was tough on Tuesday when my guy brought over chocolate chip cookies and the fixings for a fruit and yogurt smoothie (he makes great smoothies). I ate half of a cookie and then turned the container over. One cookie has 220 calories.  So what did I do? I handed the remaining half to my guy and consulted MyFitnessPal to figure out how I was going to adjust my remaining menu for the day since I had the calorie infused cookie....gold star for me

Most importantly, I told him that he could stay, but the cookies couldn't.

He's a very tall 6'4", so I had him put them up high where I couldn't reach them. Then in the morning when I was ready to get the ladder out to snack on one, I instructed him to take them down and take them with him. I'm sure he thinks I'm a touch crazy, (aren't we all). But I know he thinks I meant business.

Oh and LOL, I told him to put vodka in the smoothie so I wouldn't take it. He knows I don't drink anymore.

I'm back to my 124 from 126 so either I am bouncing or just getting back to where my body is comfortable.  How? low, low carb, no wheat, lots of protein.  And       

I love Your Little decals working out.  How do you get them?  Congrats on your will power.  Way to go!

I love it!!      Get the crap food out of the house!    Wish I could, I think my guys would leave with the junk food. lol

My not so nice family sits down beside me and eats junk almost every night.  So of course once in a while I cave in and have some :(   Lucky for me I am still in the honeymoon, so it has not bit me in the ass   YET.    But I need to change things before to long.

Sorry Candy

We'll all be here to support you when you crack the whip!!!

Congratulations on the 2 pounds Lauren.  It does take discipline.

I did better most days this week.  I had a bad day Wednesday, but the others were on track.  I can really tell it in my stomach when I cut out the bad carbs.  It gets a lot flatter and not all bloated.

DH will never stop bringing junk in the house.  I have a really hard time with potato chips or sweets.  I told him to bring them in and hide them and not tell me but he never does this....

You're stronger than me Linda

I will say that if things continue to progress, we'll be living together. Not sure I can force the junk food out then.

 

Congratulations! !!! On getting rid of 2 more lbs. I had WLS on 4~9~13 so I had better lose. So, my lost is cheating because you are further out than me. It's like compairing apple to orange. Keep up your hard work, its paying off.

Thank you so much for your support. It doesn't matter what stage you're in....support is key

I have a sweets rule in my house. They can have all the treats they want as long as they are ones I don't like!! Thank goodness i'm a picky eater. Hubby has his nutty bars, ds1 has his oatmeal cookie things from little debby, ds2 has his little debbie brownies. If they were real brownies I'd be done for. If they get cakelike trats, devils squares etc they must be kept in their bedroom. I also don't like flavored chips or doritos so thats what they get. Lol sorry but they don't have to be deprived but I deserve the respect of not being tempted!!
