Diet Update: Week 15

This week, I got serious about the diet again. Exercise. Food. The whole shebang. There were a few meals that weren't strictly budgeted--I didn't keep track of calories during them--and that didn't help, but when you have company in town, sometimes that has to come before dieting 100%. But really, it felt like I was "DIETING" again--hungry quite a bit of the time, actively not eating a lot of what I wished I could be eating.



No fun.



Then again, the fact that it felt different probably goes to show just how not well I was following my diet previous to that.



So it wasn't a fun week, but it *was* a successful one. I clocked in this morning at 191, which gives me 2 pounds lost this week, and 23 pounds overall. That sounds like a lot of weight, even though when I look at myself in the mirror, it still seems like I've got a fair bit to go. 13 pounds until my goal weight. We'll see how that goes.



I did see a picture of myself on Sunday, and I was surprised by how thin I looked. That was a nice touch to my day. I don't want to be a stick or anything--just healthy. I feel like I'm there already, honestly--but I've been this weight before, and it was all too easy to go back to overweight. Hence the onward and downward mentality.
