Debbie Cousins's Journal, 18 February 2020

Well, I did better yesterday than I HAD been doing. On the positive side, I got in 16 ounces of water (up from ZERO); I walked one mile; I didn't eat everything I WANTED to during the day; and I kept up with all the other stuff on my To Do List. I did go ahead and have HALF of that other chicken breast on a salad for dinner, but I gave the other half to my husband. To "reward" me for being so generous, he offered me that cinnamon roll I had salvaged for him. I yielded to his gracious temptation! But, it was ONE cinnamon roll in a day, instead of the 5-6 I had been eating every day last week - so that's an improvement.

I was pleasantly surprised with the scale going down this morning. I didn't expect a 3-pound loss, but I'll thankfully take it! I WILL say that I am VERY tempted this morning to make up a batch of Tapioca pudding. It adds about 800 Calories to my day and puts me WAY over on Net Carbs - so it would be a big self-sabotage. Still, the thought keeps going around in my head. I've already yielded to a can of Diet Coke with my breakfast. Sigh.

218.0 lb Lost so far: 41.0 lb.    Still to go: 68.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
