Alright.  There we go.  Another week of weightloss.  I think I went to the gym four times this week.  In terms of food, it was a combination of good and bad.  I had the $5 box from Taco Bell twice, however, that was nearly all I ate for that whole day, or I ate more than that, but it was also a gym day where the elliptical says I burned 800 calories.  Other days it was eating some cereal, a meal that my dad cooked, and a chinese chicken salad from costco made with a head of romaine lettuce.  I wasn't sure was the results for the week were going to be.  I was hoping that I'd see just a small loss, and I would have been happy with that.  The area around my ribs still have that tighter feeling so I would have been surprised and disappointed if I gained weight.  But 1.4.  Not bad.  I'm happy with that.

And bringing up food again.  While I *am* eating some fast food, the benefits are that I know exactly how many calories are in it, and it has a set portion size.  I think I mentioned this last week, but it's somewhat harder to control my weight living at home again.  My dad enjoys cooking, and those meals don't come in preset servings.  It makes it easy to eat too much and not realize it.  

On a similar note, I love ice cream, but I've decided that in general, I'm no longer going to buy ice cream in half gallon containers.  It's too tempting to eat more than a serving.  I've been eating ice cream sandwiches instead.  Of course there's the option of not eating any ice cream at all, but if it can be done without going overboard, then that's the best possible solution.  And it looks like one ice cream sandwich a day is the key to getting that to work.
