Friday
2 Blueberry Muffins (Einsteins) - 10 points
1 Small Orange Juice - 2 points
Pesto Salad (Cibo's) - 23 points
TOTAL - 35 points (31)
So, I went to this place called Cibo's. I went straight to the salads, chose the Pesto one and hoped for the best. The oil based dressing is what did me in. Thankfully, I conserved points the entire day, so it was not that bad of a hit. 23 points is a conservative guess, I spent an hour calculating its value.
Still feeling good this week, gym tomorrow, and my "teaser" weigh-in. We'll see what happens.

Start Weight: 283.25 lbs
Current Weight: 258.00 lbs
Weight Lost: 25.25 lbs
Weight Left to Lose: 58.00 lbs
I set out this week to lose 3 pounds, and I accomplished just that. There were two things this week that I believe contributed: I ran more on the treadmill (1/2 mi), and I did not eat muffins for breakfast from Einstein's. I have a sneaking suspicion that each muffin was worth more than 5 points apiece. This 3 pound loss is great news, it takes the pressure off of having to lose more than 2 lbs this week, but the momentum is going my way and I will keep going. A few milestones are quickly approaching:
1. I will decrease from waist size 42 to waist size 40 in the next few weeks.
2. When I fall below 250 lbs, I will only be allowed 29 points for food each day.
3. When I weigh myself I have to use the "250" increment on the scale, soon I will be on the "200" increment. For me this is a big deal because once I reach that point all I have to do is "keep moving to the left" to reach 200.
Here's my progress thus far:
229 Days until May 18th.
