Arrgh! This week has been difficult for me! We are no longer stressed out, so that's good. Things have worked out that we were stressed about. Again, really good. The problem that I'm having is CHOCOLATE!
I had a bridal show over the weekend and took mini chocolates (the good stuff like Reese's cups and M&Ms) for people to take with them. The problem was they only took about 1/3 of what I brought. Again, aargh! I even moved the chocolate upstairs at home so that it wouldn't tempt me. Well...that isn't a problem anymore. Since I work out now I don't think going up the stairs is a challenge and so I just hop upstairs and help myself - every few hours. Yes, I said hours, not days. That's why - aargh!
So I have a solution - I am taking the whole big bag to the office I'm temping at and they can have at it. I feel slightly guilty fostering off so many calories, but at least they won't go on my hips!
Jay, as always, is a saint in the snacking department and has refrained from the chocolates (even when offered so that I could share the guilt!). He has helped me to think about the goals we are setting and if I want to reach them, it's time for the snacking to go. Good snacks can stay, the 100 calorie a pop chocolates have got to go.

Week 19
This week is cause for celebration! Jay once again hit another milestone - he's lost 40 pounds! We are back on track and ready to get going again.
For anyone in a slump on your way to a new you, just try going clothes shopping. I promise, when you look in the mirror and see that, yes, you have changed, but you're not where you want to be yet, it will help you keep going. It worked for me, it can work for you! :)
On a side note, if you're wondering why we chose to do this blog - here's another reason: when we have good news like losing weight and we're proud of our accomplishments, we want to share it. Often we don't want to to that verbally because it sounds boastful. By publishing our results, we get to let everyone know about our hard work and how it's paying off. Thanks for checking in!
Jay's New Weight: 290.0
Jay's Previous Weight: 294.8
Jay's Starting Weight: 330
