Weigh in day #1

First weigh-in day!

I weigh myself every day, so I have known all week I've been losing weight. But today is official, so here goes.....

Amazing!! 7.8 lbs lost this week, plus half an inch almost all around on all measurements (waist, hip and bust). It's definitely more than I expected to lose, and more than most people probably do in the first week (at least women). It's a huge motivator for me, and I'm so excited. My lunch salad is tasting delicious after this news.

I picked my foods for the coming week and decided to mostly go the chocolate route. I find myself looking to my IP packets as treats rather than food at my meal. I'd rather have pudding than leek soup at lunch. That could change, but it's my strategy for next week and we'll see how it goes. So far, the packets I've enjoyed are:

• Cappucino drink
• Chocolate drink
• Dark chocolate pudding
• Chocolate soy puffs
• Southwest spicy cheese curls
• Nut crunch bar 
• Caramel nut bar
• Chicken patty
• Chili

I'm not actually a true choco-holic, but it does appear I'm leaning that way!
