Well I started my day with my weigh-in. I am not so excited about it. I dropped 1/2 pound this week to 179 1/2. I lost 4.5 pounds last week. I am a little disappointed, but I am telling myself that this is for the long haul. One week is such a small section of that time.
Since I had a big drop the first week, I probably am just leveling out a little this week. I just hoped for a bigger showing. I did have the chicken mixture which I know has a lot of salt, so I may be holding on to some water too. Oh well, it will all work out over time.
I need to start this week on a high note. Getting disappointed causes you to slip sometimes, and I don't intend to do that. I also have to be able to enjoy things. I have 39 1/2 pounds to go. If I average out my weight loss to 2.5 pounds per week, that's not so bad. If over the next 5 weeks I could lose 5-10 pounds that would be fantastic. My size 12 jeans are looser already. Most of my capris and shorts for spring are in size 10's. I hope to get in those by the time spring gets around. I know when the weather starts to warm up I will spend lots more time outside, working in the yard. Things will really pick up then.
So, this was a good week. I lost weigh and I am ready to keep going. I hope you all had a successful week, too!
2.5 lbs. a week is very ambitious. 2 pounds is more doable. I'm just sayin. ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are positive! It's probably salt. I find when I'm retaining fluids, a couple of tall glasses of sugar-free iced tea will cleanse it right out. :)
Woah woah woah.....did I hear you downplay a LOSS???? Back up chickie pie....you LOST WEIGHT! It may have not been biggest loser porportions but it is still a loss! CELEBRATE IT!
ReplyDeleteThat said...I lost big this week, so I figure I'll have a much smaller loss next week. it's all part of the journey!
I guess I missed this comment, don't know how. Congratulations on the big loss! We just have to stay with it, we'll get there in the long run.
