Work had pizza for all again today. Wasn't in my plan so I did not indulge.

I have a side dish of dressing with my salad and only dip my fork in the dressing before scooping the salad. This gives you the flavour of the dressing without drenching the salad. Barley use a teaspoon of dressing this way.

I have also just crossed the 100 lb's lost mark. Have you picked up a couple 50 lb dumbbells and walked around with them. The feeling on my lower body of that added weight is crazy that was my norm... Congratulations.

Be true to oneself. Do not lie to yourself when you exercise and do not lie to yourself when you eat. When you count calories it is extremely important to account for everything. A bad day is a bad day, tomorrow you can do better. Do not cheat the numbers to fit.
