First Results Day

Went in to the dietitian today for my one month check in.

Are you dying of curiosity?

I'll get you to wait a little longer.

While in there I showed T (first initial of my dietitian - easier than typing THAT out over and over) ANYWAY, I showed T the book I'd created with the plan and how I kept track.

I think the look she shot was one part impressed, one part incredulous and 2 parts "OK we got a Type A on our hands". What can I say? I have to keep track.

Got a few clarifications too.

REGARDING ALCOHOL.

She told me since they're "empty calories" (BLASPHEMY!! Nothing empty about my Red Wine), they should be counted as a Fat really. We discussed and since I'm on super low fat diet anyway, I can call it fat OR a carb.

1 OZ of liquor = 1 Fat or 1 Carb
1 glass of red wine = (sob) 1.5 Fat or Carb

So I REALLY have to be careful if I want my wine.

Which led to my weigh in.

By the way, I can't find the measuring tape to update my measurements. I used it to measure how tall my daughter is last week and I haven't seen it since. I think I'll find it in with the kid's stuff.

OK the weigh in.

LOST: 7.25 pounds in 4 weeks

New Weight: 279.75

I was kind of disappointed it wasn't more but T was quite pleased. Said I was supposed to be losing about 2lb a week and that she never sees people actually doing it. LOL.

I know I can exercise more, so new goal for September 24th appointment - 12 lbs lost!

RAH!
