Seasons Greetings!

I hope everyone had a great Sunday! (Other than the Cowboys losing in a close one to the Eagles.) So I was hoping to break the 50 pound mark today but I guess that was a little over ambitious. Regardless, it was a pretty good week. I lost 2 pounds! Pretty tight yo! So now I’m at 310.6 which is still ridiculous to me! In Mid-September I was pushing 360 and now I’m knocking on the 290’s. It’s like I don’t even remember what life was like back then and I never will because I will never be back the that size ever again and you can take that to the bank. Here’s hoping that I will break 50 pounds next week (fingers crossed.)

Breakfast: Crystal, the college minister’s wife at our church (and a devout reader) brought these awesome cinnamon streusel muffins for the morning class. I usually eat before church but we were in a bit of a rush this morning. I might have to skip breakfast more ofter because they were delicious! I looked it up and it was 4 points.

Lunch: So we have unintentionally started a Sunday lunch tradition: Creamy Stovetop Mac n’ Cheese with broccoli. It was sooooooo good. For a serving and a half of the mac and cheese was only 9 points which is so filling (not to mention steamed broccoli is epic… yes, I said broccoli is epic. I am a boring fella.)

For a snack I had a orange for 1 point.

Dinner: We went out to buy a few more things before our trip so we decided to grab some dinner before hanging out with the college group. We saw a Subway that had a drive thru so we thought “how bad could be?” We were behind a lady who I’m pretty sure had never been to a Subway and thought the process of sandwich making was such a foreign concept. We lost our patience very quickly. So we ordered and drove up and the same lady was arguing with the cashier. It was quite the scene. Anyways we finally got through and the 8 point broodwich was delicious (did anyone get that reference?)

Dinner Part 2: When we got to the house, our friend Kyle (who does not live there) was making baked BBQ chicken. He has been really supportive and has really held me accountable especially at the beginning of the weight loss journey. Anyways, he is an awesome cook and the chicken was delicious. I had a breast and a drumstick so it was 10 points which was totally worth it.

So today I got to 32 points which makes sense because I felt nice and content all day. See ya tomorrow.
