We’ve been doing a modified version of Biggest Loser with The Professor’s family for several months. I’ve been coasting along, doing pretty much what I always do… Until last week when I got out my warm weather clothes and realized when I tried to fit into them that it was time to get down to business. That was further confirmed when I recalculated my BMI and discovered it has crept up to 25.
So, after my first week (this time around) of seriously tracking my calories I have noticed a few things. One is that I really like the Lean Cuisine paninis. Seriously, have you ever tried them?? Those babies really hit the spot! And I have figured out that I can make them last twice as long if I don’t put the two halves together, but eat each side separately. Mmmmm. 300 (non-dessert) calories never tasted so good! (Plus they're 2 bucks at Hannafords!)
I also realized, as I looked at my food log (I’m using the same spiral notebook that I used before since it has room left and I can copy what I ate last time) that it was almost the EXACT same day last year that I started doing this. I can still remember the drama. Same culprit: I broke out the summer clothes and after a miserable morning of trying to squeeze everything on…well, five weeks later I was 9 pounds lighter. We’ll see if I can beat that this time…

I didn't know you were so serious about the calories. Sorry about brining treats to playgroup! At least I cut the blondies really small! :)
Go girl! 9 pounds in a month sounds good to me, especially if I can eat panini!
Yes! Go Mel! The good news is that you have alot of support in our ward since so many others (me too) are trying to fit into warmer weather clothes as well :)
