Week 6 measurements

We'll get to the measurements...

Yesterday, Brandon and I had tickets to go to the Uk/Vandy game and planned to have a good dinner before hand. We don't get a date night too often without our bundle of energy, so we wanted to take the opportunity and run with it! This will also count as our "Valentine date" as well. After looking at our options online, we decided on The Outback because they had a  pretty good "Under 550 calorie" menu. I was excited that they had Coke Zero when we got there, too! We both ordered the sirloin, I had asparagus and a salad (I HAVE to learn how to cook asparagus!), and Brandon had the steamed veggies and steamed green beans (the green beans were AWESOME!!). We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals...and I feel like we have talked about it non-stop since!

Today, we ate at Maw-Maw's like we always do on Sunday. **Remember me mentioning that it is not easy dieting with my family...** We had chicken and dumplins, lima beans, fried apples, salad, and rolls...then brownies with ice cream for dessert. Brandon and I decided that it wouldn't kill us to eat Maw-Maw's food once a week...we would just try to watch our portion size. We've done pretty good with it, but I LOVE MawMaw's chicken and dumplins!! So I had a couple of servings! After my measurements, I felt like I could splurge a little!

Now for the measurements...  I was VERY excited about my measurements today! I can truly tell a difference in my body, and so can everyone else! This time I will actually put what my measurements are, not just how much I have lost...so here goes...

I am so proud of myself right now! I'm proud that I have stuck this out for 6 weeks, I'm proud that I have lost this much weight/inches, and I'm proud that Brandon and I have done it together! It's been great!! Six weeks down, three more to go!! Fourteen pounds down, twelve more to go!!! I may not hit my goal by the end of the nine weeks, but I WILL hit that goal!!
