So far so good. I had a really good day with my exercise and food yesterday. I ate exactly what was planned. After dinner I was really craving something sweet. Not so much for the sweetness, but the tacos were spicy and I just needed something to take that tangy spice out of my mouth. SO I picked up a small piece of candy and had that. I did the trick perfectly. I logged it and I was still right where I needed to be in my food budget!
Scales are dropping. Yeah, I know that these massive drops (1.4 pounds yesterday morning and 1.2 pounds this morning) are due to water weight. But you know what...I'll take it anyway I can get it!
I just finished up my grocery list and i've culled through my coupons and I'll be ready to hit up the grocery store this afternoon....gotta restock on fresh fruits and veggies. That is the only thing with shopping for groceries only every two weeks. The second week is rather lame on the fresh produce. I plan it out as well as I can and we use my home canned produce to supplement so it's not too bad, but I'm looking forward to getting the fresh produce! And no...we save way too much money by doing groceries every 2 weeks! I found that I was spending the same amount each week (maybe 25 dollars less) for groceries versus what I'm spending now every other week. That means I've almost cut my grocery bill in half! That is amazing. Don't know if it's more close planning or the removal of two weeks worth of impulse buying...but whatever it is (probably the combination),we'll run with it!
Woke up early this morning and I rolled myself out of bed and hit the exercise bike. 52 minutes of exercise complete this morning! I'm on a roll finally the eating AND exercise is both on target. Now just to keep this momentum going. I want this weight to come OFF!

It's looking like we are all getting our heads in the game. I feel so much better when I do the right things. Keep it up, that number is dropping.
Keep up the good work! You are so good at planning. I can't imagine being able to grocery shop every two weeks. I probably could except for milk and bananas, but am just in the habit of doing it every week. Might have to think about it a little if you save that much on groceries!
It always feels good to see a dip on the scale, weather its water weight or not. Every two weeks shopping, hmm, I am not even sure how often I do. But I know what you mean by impulse shopping.
I like the blog. You are doing well.
Water weight!!! It is making me nuts right now. I got back on track today after a week of really poor eating so hopefully the salt and water will work its way out of my system this week. Thanks for the reminder that it takes planning.
