Okay, Alex, you win on the cheats last night. Yum!

 

I'm off to Pilates for a reformer class and will try to get in a couple of hikes this weekend to make up for my lapse.

Yesterday was our 6th anniversary. After dinner, we had a nice bottle red wine (I usually do every meal anyway; my wife, not so often) and some double-layer, double-chocolate cake with chocolate icing (my favorite, especially with red wine) that she baked for the occasion. She had one small sliver. I had two awesomely fawkin' huge chunks! Couldn't resist that shit.

I think I burned off a few of the calories last night though... 8D

That's not cheating--that's celebrating. ;)

 

Happy Anniversary! :wave:

 

Sherri's right Sobo! Definitely not cheating.

 

Nothing goes better than chocolate and red wine in my book! And well, we all know how I feel about icing :blush: Congrats to you and the mrs!!!!

Awww, you three really know how to make a guy feel good. Oh wait, I did that by myself, with help from the wife... :blush:

 

Today's weigh-in: Up 2 lbs since 5/17 to 187, but a net loss of 5 pounds since jumping in this thing. I think it musta been the cake, ice cream, and wine from our anniversary. Obviously, I didn't "work out" enough that night... ;)

Original 5/7 weigh-in: 138

5/14 weigh-in: 136

5/21 weigh-in: 133

 

Today's weigh in 130 lbs! Down 8 pounds since we started this thing.

 

I am so happy though mr.rmncwrtr might be happier! He's really gotten on board with this diet and is making me yummy food that fits right in with the Eat to Live book I've been using. Last night he made Sherri's spaghetti squash. So tasty!

140 pounds

 

3 weeks

3 pounds

 

I will take it :moondance:

 

That's great, especially with being benched from some of your activities due to the bum foot. Some folks would find it hard to make progress without any injury hinderance. Look at you go! :tup: :tup:

You're welcome. :wave: You (and all the others participating in this endeavour) deserve the kudos. Change is hard(we're all comfort-seekers on some level), so choosing to change takes courage and succeeding at making those changes takes commitment. Each person has their own hurdles(work, kids, injuries, icing-fetishes) but look at how empowering it is to see each other find ways to clear them, one at a time, to get to where they want to be.

 

Don't worry about losing more faster. It's sweet in the short-term, but like you've discovered, you don't enjoy your life when you're going around hungry all the time.

 

Little by little is good. You'll still get there!(And it will be easier to stay there once you do. :cool:)
