Met my first milestone goal!

My 1 lb loss milestone reward

... Which was only to lose 1 lb, but nonetheless I had a reward set for that, so I walked out of Walmart yesterday with a new magazine.

I was actually surprised when I stepped on the scale yesterday morning and could post a 2 lb loss, since my overall week was a complete throw-away, in terms of following my meal plan, fitness plan, or even my daily checklist. I almost deliberately did nothing that just 14 days ago I finalized as being my ideal habit-forming plan.

As usual, I had a myriad of excuses - didn't track my go-to-bed time during week 1, so ended up completely exhausted by the end of the week, slept until noon on Saturday, and forgot to prep my planner, so didn't know what to shop for on Sunday, so did absolutely no prep... etc.

And then, to top it all off, I dropped my iPad on my face (nose) on Monday night, which resulted in a nosebleed, not getting to sleep until after midnight again, a good weight-lifting session on Tuesday morning, but a headache all day, and a secondary nose bleed on Wednesday night and migraine on Thursday. After which I basically threw in the towel and brought poutine home from New York Fries for supper on Thursday, and had pizza with extra cheese and pepperoni on Friday.

One of my friends suggested that perhaps the weight-loss was a delayed reaction by my body to my fairly successful week 1, which makes sense to me.

My next milestone reward is at 5 lbs. Not 100% sure what my reward will be; my tentative reward is a new computer game, but a new game is one of my weekly rewards, so I'm still considering what is a good 5 lb loss reward.
