Biggest Loser Week 2


My weight is now down 3.74%. Leading up to this time, I had been letting myself go. By that, I mean that I was ignoring portioning and eating my favorite meat dishes. I would wake up with headaches, and my body hurt. I felt pretty miserable, and it made it easier to start dieting. As I saw last week as a buffer week, this week came easier than I expected.  There was no point during my first two weeks of dieting that I got tempted to eat meat. I guess that I’ve found my solace in cheese. On Tuesday, we went out to eat. Initially, I felt limited to where I could go, as there had to be an excellent vegetarian option. Then I realized
 nearly everywhere has a vegetarian option. But when we decided to get {pizza} at one of my college hangouts, it was no problem. I have found that Italian food is the most natural type of food for me to eat without meat: pasta, pizza, no problem.
The biggest temptation this week came from the freezer. On a morning after working late, I woke up to Leigha bringing the kids home with a big box of frozen foods that had been damaged in transport and/or discontinued. Leigha was able to fill up the box with any of these items for $5.    
This week, a new motivator emerged in the form of a Groupon. During the winter months, Leigha and I had purchased a Groupon to go skydiving. This was something that is on my list. Well, this expires next month, and there is a weight limit. That I currently don't meet. The two of us are notoriously cheap, and that is why 1. I will lose enough to jump out of a plane. 2. Leigha will overcome her fears.

  1. Well done on your weight loss - sounds like you're doing really well!! I'm a vegetarian so always use meat free or quorn mince - it makes a lasagne or spag bol half the calories and is still a great source of protein!! x
