Whooo hoooooo! Down 2 pounds

Yes!!! I'm now at 278. I was hoping to be 275 by this time next week, so that may just be possible. I'm aware that after the first couple of days, you can slow down a bit as your body adjusts to the new dieting circumstances, but I think 3 pounds lost in the next week is a pretty reasonable hope, so I'll go with that.

Out of curiousity I took the time last night to total up my calorie points for the day, on just the NutriSystem food alone, and it was 690 calories. According to NS (NutriSystem), they recommend a 2000 calorie per day regimen for weight loss, so their food alone only provides 1/3 of that amount. This morning I'll haul my ass down to the grocery store and pick up some veggies and fruits and stuff. I did have a single-serve V8 last night, which is only 70 calories but 780 mg of sodium (about 3 times more sodium then any of the NS foods), so my total calories for the day were 760. From what I understand, actually upping the calories will probably shed more weight because it stabilizing the metabolism and blood sugars better. 

I'm off to dig in my box for something to chew.
