And Another One Gone and Another One Gone . . .

Friday = Weigh In.

Somehow, someway I manged to lose four pounds this past week. Four! *Pats self on back* I'm not sure how that happened since I had been stuck in the two-a-week zone, but I will most definitely take it. The four pound weight loss means my maximum points for the day drop down by one, but it's all goooood. ;)

I am now down a total of 45 pounds and have 29 to go before I meet my goal. I should definitely meet my August goal as well. I have two weeks to go and four more pounds to go.

Today is also one of those "celebrating small successes" days. Why? Because I have gone two months without so much as a sip of Coca-Cola! I absolutely love coke and have for as long as I can remember. But two months without one makes me think I have successfully kicked the habit. Now days when I want a soda, I'll usually make it a Diet Dr. Pepper. But, I'm mostly just chugging down my flavored water. Nothing like getting over a caffeine addiction. My body feels so much better. I wish I'd done this a long time ago!

The hubs comes home tomorrow and we're planning on making it to the Rangers game (weather permitting). This time, however, I'm going prepared. I'm packing turkey hotdogs, veggie burgers, and baked chips. I didn't go crazy last time - far from it - as all I ate was a hot dog (that I shared with my toddler). BUT, this way I'm eating healthy and saving myself $4.50. I will be using my flex points to scarf down those margaritas they sell at the ballpark! I've already given up one vice . . . I cannot say goodbye to my cocktails!

This week's progress picture:

Those jeans are a size smaller than the ones I was wearing in last week's picture! It's almost too bad that the bigger jeans are my favorite pair ever . . .

I found this extra yummy one-point recipe on my favoritest of favorite websites, Hungry-Girl:

Haystacks:

1 cup Fiber One cereal
1 regular sized Hershey bar
1 tbsp reduced fat peanutbutter

Combine Hershey bar and peanutbutter and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave an additional 15 seconds. Fold in cereal and mix well. Drop onto wax paper in six equal "haystacks." Refrigerate for chocolate to set.

These are each only ONE WW point and they are fuckin' awesome!!
