From Fat to Fit in Four Months

Valentine's Day

I had a conversation with my fiancee yesterday while we were helping my mother with things around the house. I was at the computer and scanned through my log of weight loss, and I noticed that if I lost 0.2 pounds more,  I would have lost two pounds total this week. Considering I had a wonderful workout yesterday morning, and I had eaten well, I'm sure another 0.2 pounds would be no big deal at all.

And then I had about the most amazing Valentine's day dinner I had ever had in my entire life last night. There was an amazing salad, perfectly prepared peppered steak with blue cheese mashed potatoes, string beans, butternut squash and beets, and a lovely desert. I have seriously not had such a good dinner (let alone that good of a steak) in probably my whole life. The only other steak I could imagine that could compete with yesterday's was one I had in France.

So that meant my Wii Fit yelled at me this morning when we found out together I had a 1.5 pound weight gain. And, like with before, there was no option for "Valentine's Day Dinner" when I went to explain myself. This means that for the entire week, I lost less than half a pound to show for my efforts, but considering the amazing dinner, I feel it was well worth it.
