Week 12

A pound is a pound, and that's what I lost this week, 1 pound.  I'll be back on Saturday for my month end update.  We are going to Hat Island so I may have a delay in the posting!  HHID! :)

Week 11

I knew I was going to have a low weight loss week, -.3, boo.  It's a pattern I've discovered and I know it's going to be fine however it still sucks.  Oh well. 

I'm off to Texas on Wednesday for work.  It's supposed to be in the upper 70/low 80's!  I'm excited to feel some warm sunshine on my face.

Week 10

Another week with a loss!  -2.0 which means I only have 13.6 to go until I reach my first goal of 40 pounds lost.

Last weekend I pulled on a pair of jeans that I have not comfortably worn since 2008, maybe even 2007!  I was so excited when I wore them out of the house last Saturday night.  I have two other pairs of jeans that I'm so close to being able to wear again soon.  One pair I think I need 5 pound (we'll call them exhibit A) and the other (exhibit B) probably 10 pounds.  I am hoping I'll be able to wear exhibit A to Leilani's birthday party on the 24th.

I'm entering my two weeks of slow loss.  As I've been tracking I've noticed I have a big weight loss (4.8, 4.9, 5.5), followed by a solid average loss (1.6, 1.9, 2.0) then two weeks of small losses and one gain.  I don't let this discourage me!  I know it's coming and I don't let it get me down.  (That's a big fat lie!  I do get upset but know I shouldn't)

Until next week!!

Week 9

I've noticed a patten over the course of the last 9 weeks.  I generally have two really great weeks of weight loss followed by two weeks of so-so weight loss.  This week I had an amazing loss of 5.5lbs!  I'll guess next week will be about 2 or 3lbs then the following two weeks will be 1 or 2lbs.  Now that I have this figured out I won't be as sad when the scale is not being my friend!  I also know it's not healthy or realistic to keep losing 5.5lbs every week.

My mom asked me if I was going to adjust  my 40lbs goal since I'll most likely reach it before my 40th birthday.  I don't want to put too much pressure on myself so my answer is no.  Once I reach the 40 I will plan a phase 2 goal.

I played dress up this weekend which consisted of trying on all my smaller clothes.  I have a pair of jeans that a so close to being worn outside of the house.  My goal this week is to lose enough weight to wear them this coming weekend.  Eating right and exercise!  That's the plan.
