Starting week 2 of the 30 lbs in 30 day challenge

Week one is complete and I have very mixed feelings on this challenge and my weight loss so far. I weighed in this morning...and lost a grand total of 2 lbs. I see more muscle definition and my clothes are fitting a bit more loosely, but only 2 lbs? On one hand, I feel disappointed. But on the other hand, I think 2 lbs is sustainable weight loss for me. I don't want to do this challenge, completely restrict my life and then gain a bit of weight back when this is over.

I want this weight to come off without me totally altering my lifestyle. Hence, why I spent the weekend in what was a bit of gluttony. Here's the breakdown:

Friday
Normal diet regime all day (and 2 workouts) except Friday night we head out for dinner. I have a half bottle of wine, veg, chicken, and cream of mushroom soup with lots of cheddar and sour cream. Other than the wine and the soup, not too bad.

Saturday
I eat a bit more for breakfast than during the week, but it's a fried egg sandwich with fat free cheese, turkey bacon and healthy (small) bread. Major weekend workout. Salad for lunch. Then we head to a close friend's engagement party and things fall off the rails. Wine, vodka, appetizers, beer and no solid dinner, just grazing on cheese and cured meats...which is amazing.

Sunday
I'm brutally hungover. Scrambled eggs/salsa burritos, bacon (three pieces) and a hashbrown for breakfast. Yes, I probably consumed half my day's calories with breakfast. Half a hotdog and a beer at the Honda Indy car race (we walked everywhere and didn't sit down for about 5 hours so I'm thinking the hotdog and beer were a wash). Mini quiches for a snack and then spicy thai noodles for dinner.

So taking a look at my week as a whole, 2 lbs isn't really that bad. I guess? I don't know... maybe i'm just rationalizing.

Regardless, i'm not giving up. Was back in the gym this morning for some punishing cardio.

UPDATE: I just spoke with The Husband about the weight loss...and he said that was sustainable and fantastic for me (I don't have that much weight to lose period). He said that given the amount of food and drink I had (and I stress Drink), and I still lost weight, that's a huge win. So I feel a bit better.
