So. Having messed up my back recently and having my entire lower back be swollen and tender, my waist measurement methods of telling what my body's been up to have been off (unless we care to believe that I had gained an inch and a half mysteriously over the weekend, which we do not). It's getting better, but I'm not convinced it's totally better yet, though the waist measurements are looking far more reasonable this morning.
In any case, I went ahead and bought a scale a couple of days ago. As of today, I'm down 2 lbs from my lowest previous weight to 202. (I believe that's down an average of 5-6 lbs from the start, but I'm sort of guessing.) Getting under 200 has been my first goal, as that would be about 25 lbs down from my heaviest. It's also somewhere between 1/2 to 1/3 of the weight I need to lose total. I have no reason to believe I won't get there in good shape. Of course, Origins and traveling might set me back a little, but there'll be plenty of walking to help me out with that. I don't think I'll see 200 before I go, but being so close does give me a little more motivation. After that, the goals go down by tens.
Oh, and I need to go to the store today. Out of bread for toast and V-8 and Canadian bacon. Oh no! :)
Breakfast: 1 cup Honey Nut Cheerios. 1 cup chocolate soymilk. Very decadent. 1 cup tea.
Snack: None.
Lunch: I can't remember what I had for lunch anymore. Oops.
Snack: triscuits and cheese, a small Haagen-daas single serving coffee ice cream
Dinner: Sesame ginger tuna and roasted asparagus
