June 7    - 155
June 14  - 153.5
Goal       < 150

I mall walked yesterday and did my food shopping for the week.  I had my "Last Supper" of frozen custard last night.  I ate mindfully the rest of the weekend and still managed to drop a pound and a half.

This morning I brought to work:
 
Breakfast
1 boiled egg
Oatmeal (approx 3/4 c)

Lunch
Turkey/Cheese Sandwich 
         (low carb bread @ 35 calories per slice and left off the mayo)
Sugar free Jello cup

Snacks
Banana
Small apple

I wore my walking shoes to work and will leave my desk sometime this afternoon to walk for 20 minutes or so.

Headed to the gym....

So far, all vitamins/supplements taken....
Started on my water... will do 80 oz today...
Watermelon scoop and 18 oz. protein this morning for breakfast...

I actually didn't do toooo bad this weekend.  I went to my cousins wake but not the funeral so I was able to avoid the fried chicken dinner and pound cakes that were served afterwards. 

I kinda had my "last supper" for dinner yesterday cause I made chicken & dressing/cranberry sauce with all the trimmings (a mini-Thanksgiving dinner)

Today:
B -  protein shake
L -  Split pea soup
Snack - s/f jello or pudding - protein shake
D - baked chicken, broccoli/cheese sauce 
 
Water - 2 - 48 oz cups of crushed ice so far, will definitely have at least 3 more before the day ends!  (this is my new addiction - I eat ice ALL DAY LONG!!.....I know......I need to go get my iron checked)

This weekend I had 2 extra WW ice cream bars.  I have got to stop it today and get it together.  I made my 2nd goal on Saturday at weigh in and I don't want to mess up now that i'm losing.

I am going to get in a lot of water today and make sure I get in all my vitamins and eat well.   I want to lose 2 more pounds this month.   I hope I can, it's so hard for me to lose weight.
