6 POUNDS DOWN!!!

Yep, that's right. I weighed myself 4 times to make sure I wasn't seeing things. So now I'm 280, whooo hoooooo! I think a lot had to do with the natural progression of chicken picatta, bruschetta and mozzarella sticks through the digestive system, heh, but it is cool that I lost an extra 2 pounds, on top of the picatta pounds!

This morning I had the Apple Streusal scone with vitamin water for breakfast. The scone wasn't too sweet, actually not too bad. The texture was a little too smooth and moist for me, but it wasn't horrible.

Next week I have to get on a plane and fly for 3 hours to another state for a week's stay. The last time I did that trip I was 255, and could barely get the seatbelt on. I have a feeling with about 25 extra pounds, I'll be having more problems than that, sigh. I'm hoping I can get down to 275 by then. And then to 270 by the time I fly back 9 days later. I'm trying to figure out how to transport 9 days worth of Nutrisystem meals on the plane. I think I'm going to go through my foods today and set out the 36 meals and desserts now, as I'll probably want to pack the smaller, light-weight foods.

In the middle of June, I'm going on a 2-week road trip. It will be nice to be 250 by that time, as there will be a ton of walking, and right now I can't walk more than a block or so without a lot of pain. Recently, I've walked up to a couple miles, but after the first block, the pain progressed to such a level, that I was almost numb from it. I would love to be able to walk that same 2 miles in June without the agony.
