Day 15 ... Back in the Swing of Things

Well, after indulging this past weekend and spending wonderful quality time with my family, I knew I wasn't going to be too thrilled with the number that appeared on the scale this morning. Luckily, I did not gain any weight... however, I didn't lose too much either...

... 150 lbs ...

I only lost a half a pound. Bummer. Not the result I wanted, but realistically, I am excited! At least I did not gain any weight! So where to go from here?

1. NOT GIVE UP!
2. Continue on the same plan I was on. Drop down to eating (not including exercise) to 698 - the recommended amount for where I should be at currently. Maybe I can make up the lost calories.
3. Exercise more.
4. Try new recipes, enjoy the healthy ones we've tried, and toss the ones we didn't like.

This past weekend, I used a shorter way to summarize my eating habits each day. I like it... it doesn't drag on, reading the same ole "I ate an egg biscuit" day after day. So I'm going to try it for now - just breaking it down breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the bullet format, and add extra information when necessary.
