Day 179

Oops, I just realized I never posted on Thursday! I even had pictures! Oh well, guess I'll just include it today. I improvised a very delicious burger "salad" Thursday night (the leftovers from which I had tonight!) with lean ground beef, spring mix, tomatoes, avocado, pan-fried shallots, and goat cheese. Yum!!


Isn't it loverly? So nice I had it twice! I'm telling you, I do NOT miss buns when I can eat burgers like this. So very, very tasty!

Also, I weighed in on Friday, and Wednesday's weight turned out not to be a fluke...I'm at 205!! That puts me 35 lbs down, half way to my first goal!! An exciting landmark, so I had to take pictures to document my progress. Here are the results:

Crazy how there's not much difference between 240 and 220, but 15 pounds more and you can really tell a difference! So exciting to see that! When I first looked at these, my initial thought was, "Oh my gosh, I look like a person again!" I know, I know...I've been a person the whole time, lol. But for once I don't hate the way I look. Of course, it always helps to stand next to a couple of chubbier gals. :) 

My most wonderful and awesome Mom took me shopping this weekend, and I'm officially down a pant and shirt size as well...the pants in the above picture are size 16 (down from 18! yay!) and the shirt is a large. SO nice not to see an X on the tag!!

This Friday will mark my six month point. I can't believe I've been at this for a full six months. Amazing! You guys have helped me so much...don't know what I'd do without y'all!

Here's the calorie count for the day: 

Breakfast
Puffins w/ skim milk — 228
Coffee w/ fat-free creamer — 60

Lunch
Gala apple w/ peanut butter — 275

Dinner
Burger salad again! — 387

Snacks
Sugar-free pudding — 60

Total: 1,010

I'm getting better about eating enough calories. Still need to eat better lunches though! And more green things. Always more green things.

WOW, Campbell! Those photos tell it all.
Thirty-five pounds is a lot of sacks of potatoes. Imagine picking up something that weighs 35 lbs.

You are awesome, girl! I am so proud of you. I know it's really really hard, but hopefully the more you lose and the more muscle you make, the easier it will be.

Wish I could have been on the first shopping trip! I want to be invited next time. :-)

Love you.

Cam, congratulations on this huge milestone!
Love your new look, transforming all aspects of your life, even your blog. It's beautiful, you're beautiful. A whole size! Your pics are so encouraging. Seeing it right there in color is a wonder!

How's the toe? Trying to keep up with that as well but I have to say this 35 pounds is such an accomplishment.

Big hug,
Aunt Lindsey
