80 Sticks of Butter: Sick sick sick

Sick sick sick

Still pretty under the weather (along with just about everyone in my office and my poor husband...)

So not much news by way of weight loss: no gym this week, no real meal planning. Food has consisted of: soup, bananas, tangerines, protein bars, Chinese food here and there.

Hope you'll visit my other blog In the present moment for an adoption update.

The Story of 80 Sticks of Butter

A number of years ago, a dear friend of mine just starting on her weight loss journey was seeing a nutritionist. During the first week, my friend reported the loss of her first 2 pounds, saying, "Well, it's just 2 pounds," to which the nutritionist responded, "You sound like this is no big deal! Think of it this way - 1 pound equals 4 sticks of butter...so you just lost the equivalent of 8 sticks of butter!" Quite a unique way of looking at shedding pounds.

As of August 16, 2010, I have lost the equivalent of 80 sticks of butter (I'll let you do the math...) However, I still have many more sticks yet to lose. This is a record of my journey.
