Still loosing... but A LOT SLOWER!

The "rapid weight loss" phase of my diet is over, I think... Overall, I'm still loosing weight on my current nutrition plan but it's to the tune of 1 pound per week. (not 3 pounds like I WAS seeing during the first month!)
I expected this to happen though, and at least I haven't hit a PLATEAU yet! And this is also a really good wake-up call for me... NOw I understand why the daily weigh-ins are so silly! If you are loosing weight like a NORMAL person, seeing a ONE pound change over the week is normal... weighing-in more then that frequency just sets you up for the emotional rollercoaster of gaining and loosing due to so many factors (drinking more water then usual, workout factors, stress, what you ate the night before, etc...) NO MORE OF THAT!

I've also moved into the "vetran" stage of this phase of my diet (according to my colleague!), where I know exactly what to eat and when and am so much more relaxed about it! (However, this past weekend stressed me out, diet wise, because we spent it driving around Alberta and I found it tough to eat at my set times... I couldn't really plan my meals when I don't have my own kitchen at my disposal!) But I made it through, and I feel great!

My home scale = crap!

I need a new (or to garbage!?) my current bathroom scale. It's soo inacurate and it's making me doubt my progress. Today I weighed in at 147.4 at HOME... then I weighed in at the gym and it read 144.7! WTF???

I've decided no more home weigh-ins! Gym only! The scale is UBER plush and has a really huge platform to stand on! (like the one on the biggest loser. Well, sorta!)

This will keep my weigh-ins to about 3 per week. Monday, Tuesday and Friday. I can live with that!!!

Doing well with my nutrition today. I made Chili (what I just had for lunch, delish!) and babaganoush last night. I have to try the babaaganoush today... it might not be very good because I don't have a big enough food processor! I did try though!
