This past week was the first week with the reduced points. While I still go over the points, it wasn't by as much. I've gone back to eating more soup too, which really has helped. The veggie soup fills me up and I know I'm getting several servings of vegetables in each bowl. I'll tell you what. It's worked too. After a few weeks of either gaining, having no loss and having a .2 loss, I was down 4.2 pounds yesterday at my weigh in and I hit my 5% goal. This is the lowest I've been in probably 6 or 7 years.
I'm not getting on the scale for a few days though, because we went out to dinner with a friend last night to a Thai restaurant. I was very careful with my points early in the day because I knew I'd be splurging for dinner, and boy, did I. My dinner alone came to 39 points. Add in a couple of big glasses of wine, and I topped the day out at 60 points. It was delicious. And now I'm back to soup...
Congrats on your wonderful achievement here! I'm thinking I need to consider some soup action on my end also.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, there just ain't no good meal to be had at Thai restaurants. When I do Chinese, I think Hunan Chicken is close to the best, only beaten by Chicken and broccoli.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the lose though!
