Chef on a Diet—After 4 Weeks: Down 8

OK, so this is a day late. Maybe it’s because I only lost 1 pound last week and just couldn’t get myself to admit I didn’t meet my 2 lb/wk goal. I am rationalizing that my weekly average is still 2 pounds, but I am not really happy w/ Week 4’s results. I have been very good at eating throughout the day and eating to my new calorie count. Again, I think my problem was in the beverage department. Social commitments made it a challenge to keep to my one night per week allotment of wine. So, I decided to test my limits w/ a 3-night allotment. Not good! Maybe 2 nights and increased exercise?
