Week 1 Success!

So Week one is officially over, and I am happy to say that both Jaclyn and I count it as successful. Yesterday was our anniversary, we have been married for seven years! I would like to thank her for all that she does to support me in my many ventures over that time, as well as for our beautiful children! I love her so much and look forward to many more years together!

Now, back to the my battle with blubber! I worked Saturday and was off on Sunday. Both days I was able to stay within my allotted points range easily, and have never really felt hungry. Saturday was absolutely awesome! Kaden woke me up with breakfast in bed, a fruit smoothie which was 0 points and a couple pieces of toast! We then splurged a little for lunch, I had not seen Kaden for 3 days  so we went out for Pizza. We went to Barro's pizza, it was awesome, I had a two slices, but with salad and a light snacks in the afternoon and evening, I was able to still remain within my points target for the day!

Sundays meals consisted of a fiber one bar and fruit for breakfast, cereal for lunch after church, pineapple in the afternoon followed by an awesome dinner. We made beef tenderloin the grill, red potatoes, and fresh green beans. We also made a mixed berry shortcake for dinner. Again all that and I was still below target points.

As I said the week was a success. My original weight was 319.0, this morning....drum roll please...... I was down to 310.8, for a total weight loss of 8.2 pounds or 2.6 percent of my starting weight. I feel great about the success that I have had so far and am encouraged to continue on. This week will present challenges as we are going to Disneyland with my family, but I am sure I will be able to make healthy eating choices.

Here are the pictures from week 2, I know they are not the same zoom, but we made sure where I was standing and the camera settings, so they should be pretty similar from here on out!
