My weight on my home scale this morning was 160.4.  This is a new number for me.  I do not have an another official weigh-in at the clinic for 3 weeks due to the holiday season.  I have 11 weeks before my birthday.  I have a goal of losing 15 lbs by then.  Therefore I should like to lose about 1.5 lbs per week.  I feel that is a very reasonable goal.  But it will take effort and commitment.  But I am ready to achieve it.

Breakfast- 1 egg and egg white with Allegro cheddar cheese
Lunch- baby spinach with Green Goddess dressing
snacks- 1 sugar-free Reese peanut butter cup and approx. 10 sugar free jelly beans

As you can probably tell, I splurged today at the Dr. Poon's clinic store.  I bought several 'treats' to help me stay on track and committed over the holidays.  I have no doubt that the holidays will have temptations but so long as I have my own low-carb options to eat I know I will be able to stay on track.  The trick will be to only eat them when I truly would like to have a treat and not because I am bored and emotional.
