Day 16

Starting Weight: 221
Today's Weight: 215.0
Total Loss: 6 pounds

Whoop Whoop I finally got past the 215.2 hurdle.  It's only down scale from here!  Also?  I got a job!!!  That deserves another whoop whoop!!  I am so excited for this job and the opportunities that will be opened because of it but really really dreading the sucky commute (could be up to 2 hours each way).  I was traveling today back home from Chicago so was much more consious of my choices this time around.  My flight left Chicago at 8am so I grabbed a fruit cup and starbucks in the airport and passed on everything on the plane.  I had a Lean Cuisine hot pocket for lunch and a Lean Cuisine frozen meal for dinner.  I did eat a handful of candy before dinner but quickly put it away so I wouldn't run into another 600 calorie mess like I did last week.  If I gain anything from this blog being able to adapt my past mistakes into future successes is what I want it to be. 

Today's weigh in marks the half way point of this blog.  I've lost 6 of the 15 pounds I'd need to hit 30 pounds in 30 days.  1.6 pounds a day will still get me to my goal on time but even if I stick with my original 1 pound a day goal I'll still have lost 21 pounds in 30 days which ain't to shabby.  I'm not giving up though!!  30 pounds in 30 days!!  Let's go!!
