Week 2 Stats
Current Weight - 268.4
Starting Weight - 279.2
This week - -2.8
Total - -10.8

I had another great week.  I am down 2.8 pounds, which makes my total 10.8 in two weeks.  I earned another five pound star.  This has been a great week, I've had quite a few challenges.  

Friday we went to the Pelicans game and actually went in the suite and I drank a beer and ate some boiled shrimp.  There were several other things I could've eaten but I made the right choice and tracked it all.  

Saturday we had dancing pictures ALL DAY long.  The girls and I ate subway for lunch and I even ate some ice cream.  I only had 8 points at the end of the day.  Normally by that point I would say screw it and eat junk.  I ended up grilling some chicken tenders, onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers.  It was delicious and kept me within my points for the week.  

Sunday we went to the Irish Italian parade and caught quite a few vegetables.  I looked online and found some things to make with what I caught.

Monday I had my stress test and blood work, all which came back normal.  That was truly my wake up call.  I've been tracking, cooking, and looking for recipes.   This week I made unstuffed cabbage rolls which were 5 points for 1 cup.  

I also made carrot cake oatmeal muffins from Emilybites.com for 3 points each.

I had some leftover chicken tenders that needed to be cooked so I took them and put a wedge of laughing cow cheese and a piece of turkey, rolled up the chicken, put a toothpick to hold it together, dipped it in an egg white and then put bread crumbs on it.  Baked it and it was quite delicious.  I figured it out to be about 12 points for the whole pan.

My weekly goal is to track and drink my water same as last week.  The water is still a challenge when I'm not at school.   Easter is Sunday and the candy is one of my biggest weaknesses.   I'm going to do my best to track it and not over do it.  

Until next week... Here's to seeing less of me... JPo
