1st weigh-in 4/5/10

I was so nervous about today's weigh in. Last week Krispy Kreme doughnuts and a birthday cake were all brought to the office. I caved and ate a bite of cake probably 3 days in a row...and even ate a chocolate doughnut with sprinkles! On top of those terrible days...Easter Sunday we went to a friends house. She served apricot glazed ham, loaded scalloped potatoes, bacon-wrapped green bean bundles, rolls, and salad. I filled my plate with salad, 1 roll, 1 serving spoon full of potatoes, and I avoided the green bean bundles. I limited my breakfast and my dinner because of lunch. I even declined the cookie icecream dessert!
As I stepped onto the scale I almost felt sweat beading on my forehead. I placed one foot on, then then next. I closed my eyes and said a prayer. When I opened my eyes the scale said 212.8!!!!! I almost screamed! The lady that weighs everyone almost passed out I think! Her eyes bugged, and she said, "wow! you go girl". I had to rush back to work and couldn't stay for the meeting, so I immediately text my husband and called my mom.
This 7.8lbs loss brings me almost 1/2 way to my first 20lbs goal! I am so excited! I have reduced my 28 point allowance to 27. I want to make sure I lose at least 2lbs next week. That is a fair amount to me. If I lose more, I'll just be even more thrilled!

7.8lbs down, 67.20lbs left to go! That is this week! I'll post next monday on my new weight loss!
