One Month Down

My goal was 1-2 pounds a week.  As I hit the one month mark today, I'm down eight pounds.  That's right on track.  (Only a half pound over last week.) I might have been more, but I allowed myself some sweets while I was out of town last weekend.  I'm proud of myself for taking accountability for those calories and logging them, not letting them be some dirty little secret that sabotaged my progress.  I'm hoping my weight will hold steady this week since my birthday is on Saturday and there will be chocolate cake. I'm in this for the long haul; I have to remember that from meal to meal.  I can't think about the next eight pounds or next month, just what's for dinner. Tonight that is pork chops.
