Weigh-In Saturday

Minus 5!

Jeremy took this week and each day made healthy eating choices. He didn't look at the week as a whole - that can be too overwhelming. One meal at a time!

To help with staying focused this past week, Jeremy bought and cooked up some sausages last week and boiled up a dozen eggs. That way, each morning he could warm up a couple sausages and have a hard-boiled egg for breakfast. He was getting tired of cottage cheese every morning. He also takes fruit (apple or pear) with him and eats it on his way to work. This helps to kick his metabolism into gear and helps set the eating habit tone for his day.

And this week he lost 5 lbs! Yay! He is now at 243 lbs.

I think we will be looking at buying a smaller size of pants in the next few weeks if the weight continues to come off. Already, his pants are beginning to look a little big, and one of his pullover sweatshirts is very baggy on him (his tummy used to fill it out). I'm setting aside money each month to help with purchasing Jeremy new clothes once he's down to his ideal weight. He has also been unpacking some smaller-sized clothes that he's had in storage for a few years.

One of Jeremy's goal is that once he has acheived his ideal weight we will go and buy him a suit. He has never had one and for the past few years we figured why spend the money if Jeremy's going to lose weight? So that will be his "special" purchase at the end of all this.
