Week 2

Okay, week two wasn't nearly as successful as week one, but I don't feel defeated or discouraged.  My goal in this is to get healthier, so as long as I'm eating well and exercising, I'm reaching my goal, regardless of what the scale says.  I didn't lose any weight this week, but I also didn't gain, so I still have 62 pounds to go.  Since I lost 7 pounds in the first week, I'm still well ahead of schedule, as I'm trying to average about a pound and a half per week.  I did have one small slip-up this week, not because I was weak, but simply because I was unprepared.  While I didn't make the best choice possible, I didn't make the worst choice possible.  I was out running errands, and was suddenly STARVED, to the point of being light-headed, so I stopped and got a chicken mcnugget happy meal.  Ideally, I would have had a granola bar in my purse or something, but it wasn't the worst thing I could have eaten.  I did feel victorious, when, later in the week, I went to the Halloween party at our complex, where they were serving pizza and beer.  This was the best kind of pizza and beer, because it was of the FREE variety :)  All I had was a diet coke, and when I started to feel hungry, I went home and made my own healthy pizza.  Point for the home team.  Here's how the week went:
