YES! Keep on keeping on...

I waited until the Tuesday after we returned from London to weigh in and I was truly worried I would see a gain, a BIG loss.  The BIG loss would be the faith I had in the juxtaposition of Lose It and Fitbit as the "accountant" for my calories in and calories out.  I was very concerned that I would lose this "planning" rubric. Well.... I DID LOSE WEIGHT so I hereby pronounce that this WORKS with the caveat that it worked for me.

So, I am back on my food, my grilled chicken with lots of veggies, but I have added a low cal flatbread black forest ham and avocado sandwich and have pushed myself to walk at least the 5000 steps that would get me a little bonus.  When I run out of calories, I either go for a walk or just stop eating. 

Expansions of food.  I can see that some of the foods that have been a problem in the past have crept in, the sandwich, the having of ham in the house, the flat bread that lead me to an egg for breakfast rather than my shake are all concerning and I am keeping a close eye on my weight.  I may not have as much of a loss this week, I fear, and I will adjust.

Anyway, to those of you who were waiting, I hope this was good news.  Lose it and Fitbit it.
