Day 48

Wanted to check-in.  It's been a week since I last updated my progress.  Nothing new to report, other than my new weight of 331.5.  That's 24lbs down from my start weight.  Only 1 more lb to go till I reach 25lbs.  I think I'm going to have to go to Sams and lift a 25lb bag of flour.  Or I could lift three gallons of water.  I think that will help put my progress in perspective.

Pants are still getting bigger.  I'm going to need to add another hole to my belt in a few more days.  I'm hoping that I'll break below 330 this week.  That's a pretty doable result.  Of course, if I don't, there is always next week.  :-)  I'm not going to stress out about it.

Yesterday was a fast day.  I skipped breakfast and lunch again.  I've been doing that pretty consistent for the last two weeks now.  For dinner, I just had a 280 calorie healthy choice dinner.  I cooked up 8oz of mushrooms (just plain mushrooms and a tiny bit of Pam to keep them from sticking) and threw them in with the meal.  That really helps make the meal seem more substantial.  I LOVE mushrooms, and they are so low in calories.  I rounded out the day with a big bowl of popcorn.  I've been eating too much popcorn.  I just like to snack, and it's a pretty filling low calorie snack.  It's just a shame to fill half of my caloric intake for the day with such fluff.  I have a book from the library filled with 100 calorie snacks.  I should take a look through it for ideas tonight.
