Week 4, Day 2: Steps forward and back

Total weight loss for weeks 2 and 3: 7.6 pounds. This is good. Total weight loss for three weeks: 19.6 pounds. I was expecting my advancing age to mean slower weight loss. Not as such...

But last night I had a serious lapse: the "sips" from my husband's Manhattans totaled, he tells me, two large Manhattans of my own, and I followed that up a bedtime binge of another serving of roast chicken, a pint of low-fat yogurt and a Cliff bar. Part of the problem was that I had skipped lunch (due to circumstances rather than conscious plan) and was metabolically vulnerable. However, I'd been thinking of allowing myself a drink as a treat and in retrospect it would have been better to have one of my own than sip at someone else's.

I haven't totted up the points yet, but I suspect last night's episode will have eaten into my bonus points in a big way.
