2.6 is a HUGE loss for me.  As you can see above, I am kind of a slow(ish) loser.  

This was my first week on the Purple plan.  I have to say....this week was really easy.  And I felt better.  My body just likes carbs.  I need carbs with protein to really fill me up.  

There were even two days where I didn't eat all of my 16 points!  

I am going to be better about portions though.  Just because it's zero points doesn't mean I can go nuts.

I made our 3 Home Chef meals today (we eat them for our lunches) and one of them included pasta.  So I switched out the white pasta for whole wheat pasta AND made it into 3 portions instead of 2.  Doing that cut WAY back on the points.

Things I enjoyed this week:
3 drinks (one mixed, two of my spiked seltzer water)
Chocolate every night
PASTA!!!!! (twice)
Potatoes almost every morning (1/2 cup serving)
BBQ pork tacos
Oatmeal (3 times) with caramel almond creamer (it's like dessert....2 points)

Non-scale victories:
I now have 4 pairs of jeans and 2 sweaters that no longer fit.

Things to work on:
More Pure Barre!  I have been a HUGE slacker this month with Barre.  I don't have any good excuses except for being exceptionally tired and drained.  But I need to remember that Barre does HUGE things for my head (mentally).  So I packed my gym bag and am going tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m.

More detailed tracking.  I've been using the 'Quick Add' feature on the app WAY too much.  I really need to track more, especially the zero point foods.
