Well Day One was a success. The challenge will be keeping myself focussed and on track. I see now, after reviewing my previous posts, just how long it has been since I was focussed and recording my efforts. For comparison purposes I have listed below the last record of my home scale that I could find.

w% 45.6
bflbs 61.0
tbw 74.4
And below are my numbers for this week (Feb 2014)

I had hoped to lose 15 lbs by my birthday in March. That goal is no longer realistic. My new goal is to be 155 by March 5th. I think it is reasonable and yet challenging.
My non-scale goal is to be able to wear a 2 piece bathing suit this summer with some degree of confidence. That is, if the nice weather ever comes. This winter has been brutal!!
I have not had my breakfast yet. I know I need to, but I just don't feel like it.
I'm still dealing with the emotions of the fertility stuff. The tears seem to have dried up, but I am so bitchy and miserable. I don't want to do anything. I just want to lie in bed and be mad at the world.

Well, I eventually made my breakfast and got on with my day.
Breakfast - 2 eggs scrambled
Lunch- Turkey meat with wing sauce (sauce was not poon-friendly)
Snack- Starbucks sugar-free soy late
Dinner- Fish and Salad
I didn't eat great today. It wasn't a perfect Poon day but it was a good 'low carb' day. So in that regard I still consider it a victory. There was certainly room for improvement though. Breakfast was fairly good. Technically, we are only 'allowed' one egg. I usually use egg whites as the filler but I don't have any at the moment and I can't justify throwing the yolk away.
Lunch, was lacking some vegetables. Also, the sauce I used on the turkey was likely full of both sugar and sodium. I used a modest amount, but none-the-less, not Poon-friendly. Dinner *sigh* not so great either. We had Highliner fish from a box. Not something we eat often. We baked it in the oven, but it was battered and dipped in oil at the 'processing' plant. Therefore, it is high in carbs for this diet as well as fat. I ate 2 pieces. I also had a tossed salad with some olive oil dressing. As I said, not a great day food-wise but I could've done worse. My husband had the same dinner as me but twice the portion and in addition to the fish and salad he also had rice and potatoes. So a small victory is that I did not have any of that.
A girl friend and I met for coffee at Starbucks today. This friend is truly amazing. She is absolutely gorgeous to look at- she has lost an astonishing 200 lbs this year. When I think about the 30 or so lbs that I have lost, I cannot even comprehend what she has accomplished. She follows her own low-carb, no sugar plan, but it is not Dr. Poon. So anyways, she ordered us each a Dolce Cinnamon, sugar-free, no fat, soy late without sugar sprinkles yada yada yada. It sure was a mouthful whatever it was. I'm not sure whether it was 100% Poon-approved, but I figured if she could drink and lose 200 lbs that it was probably okay for me too. It was delicious. Definitely better than the Tim Horton's coffee that I am used to.
So anyways, it wasn't a GREAT food day. It could've been a lot worse though.
Tomorrow is another chance to get it right.
Good night, eat right
