A little sweetness for breakfast.



Today, I had planned on eating a healthy breakfast of apple and granola, but my boss brought me a yummy cinnamon and raisin biscuit from Hardees as an apology for leaving me by myself yesterday. How could I resist????? I hadn't had something this wonderfully sweet in weeks and this was just the thing to keep me from breaking and giving in. And to boot, it was only 7 WeightWatchers points. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, 7 points coulda went to something MUCH healthier, but this was worth it. It's not like I eat it every morning. It was nice to have a little surprise.



Speaking of WeightWatchers, today was my day to weigh in. I've lost another 2 pounds! In total, I have lost 5.2 pounds to be exact. See, when I started this, I was (can't believe I'm admitting this, but I'm being 100% honest in this blog...) 166 lbs. After much figuring and number crunching, my ideal weight without being super skinny and to put me at my wedding weight is 140. So, I really had a goal to lose 26 pounds.. but I rounded down and posted the "Lose 25 lbs" goal. Last week was a loss of 2.8 lbs and this week was 2.4. I know its a lot to lose fast, so I'm hoping that maybe it will slow down because I know it can't be healthy.



Good news is, my insulin need has decreased 20% across the board and during workouts, it's down 70%. My carb ratios and correction factor hasn't changed yet, but I don't really know if that does change. I can't remember, to be honest.



Check back next week for another update! :-)

Wow, that is awesome!!! You are doing so great and I think you deserved that treat. And as long as you figured and logged the points, no harm done. I'm on WW too - but I'm not having the great success you are. I lost 1.6 pounds last week and only .2 this week. (Yes, that's POINT TWO, not even a measly quarter of a pound!!) I'm getting pretty frustrated, but I'm going to keep up with it and hope to start seeing some success.
