Sunday 6march11 day 26

I missed my 1mar goal by 1/2 pound....as i chose to round my wt down last week i did get to look at 250......but i did lose that extra 1/2 pound this week so i am at 248 and am averaging about 2 pounds a week......as in the past i never did better than a pound a week over time i like what i am seeing.  I am also getting used to 1200 cal which is about what i ate when i was "thin".  A 2 week cal count at 122 pounds for a nutrition class in 1979 showed that i ate on average 1400 cal/d. As I am less active this days and flabbier i imagine that on 1400 cal i will end up weighing more.......I'm hoping that I can stay with 1200 cal as my base ongoing......I know that if i just go back to the way i was eating what i have lost and will continue to lose will just come back...and i don't want to carry those 188 sticks of butter,  5 bowling balls, or almost full bag of feed again.
Went shopping at wally world Fri and Sat.....got some 2x tops and they fit....one is a little tight but wearable and so i returned the 3x i bought on sale 2 weeks ago and now have some 2x pants and tops.....almost 50 pounds lost and finally was able to buy some things in a smaller size......yah! Also picked up more salad stuff...i am most surprised  by how much i like chopped celery on my salad as it is one of my least favorite veggies.....but now 6 tupperwear containers waiting for this week.  Also got spinach so i can do some of the new days. I had pretty much been using lots of lettuce to fill me up and last night couldn't eat it all....so salads will be getting a little smaller in size this week.

rearrangement

As i redo some of my food days i have been rearranging what i eat for which meal.  Today i am doing day 11 again and the last 2 times it didn't work quite right for me.....so today i have moved the salad to lunch and will do the broc with dinner......also dinner seemed to need at least a little carb and i didn't feel the need so far today so i have saved my bread and crackers and might do a piece of lt bread as garlic toast. Put the dried figs diced in the cottage cheese with splenda and cinnamon and am still munching on the salad.  Did salad and Pizza for my birthday dinner last night as i decided that i didn't want to cook for myself and didn't want to go out. Ate the salad first and one piece of pizza did it...so froze the rest and will use it for that day again unless dh finishes it. I like some of the new days but will have to wait until after the next shopping trip for some of them.
Bigger problem is that my water has dropped off.  Resolution for the rest of this week is to get the fluids back up.  I'm going to go back to aiming for 20 glasses a day at least and see if that helps. Also I stopped the broth before dinner as the meals were filling me up but that helped make sure the water was up.
Next is just something to ponder...wonder if i could work a hot dog in one day.......just one.....for march one of the places is doing hot dogs with either chicago or NY or chili as topping....really miss NY and Chicago dogs as what passes as hod dogs around here aren't really like either of those.....either foot long coney's or corn dogs are okie style hot dogs.......hey no one said we can't think about things...just can't touch.
