Day 128

So close. For the last two weeks weight has finally started coming off and I am a mere three pounds from 60 pounds down. Wooohoo! And there is a reason. Lean Cuisine. Who knew about this???? For some unknown reason it never occurred to me that in the frozen section there are meals there within the 150 - 240 calorie range that will let me continue to diet but not trap me with freeze dried food that for the most part doesn't taste all that great. Yes, there are a few meals that are diet decent but not enough and I was really starting to resent dinners.
What's really great about LC's is that I can buy a week's worth, instead of having to stock up for a month's worth of food and have bags everywhere in our little kitchen.
And since I really never got into Nutrisystem breakfast I have 112 breakfast bars just sort of sitting there, staring at me which I really need to do something about before they take over.
So now that I've found LC and can buy enough for a week, the question is do I just give Nutrisystem the boot. And I think the answer is yes. I will cancel the monthly run of food but I will continue to purchase the few items that I want to have on hand like the fudge graham bars which are amazing.
I am now in my 5th month of dieting and still no one has said anything which is discouraging since I am down 4 sizes. I decided to measure to see if there is any real proof to my losing weight (I was dumb and didn't think about measuring when I started on 7/5/11 so the first time I measured was on 8/30/11 and since then) I have lost 7 inches in my waist, chest and thighs! Arms are still the same but since I played tennis for years the muscles in my right arm are still huge, which I guess is good.
In August/September when I started to think about the holidays, I gave myself a diet pass and realized that I probably won't lose any weight in the month of December and I need to be fine with that reality, so my current goal is to be angelic up till Thanksgiving and continue to be perfect unless there is a party or dinner that I have to attend, then be frugal on the cheating and hopefully I will end this year 70 pounds lighter.
