Two weeks ago on 9-23-09, the scale would have read......GAINED ~4.2 pounds....Expected, well maybe not that big of a gain, but non the less expected. (That is not why I didn't post...I've been super busy going back to work and exhausted at night!)
Last week on 9-30-09, the scale would have read....Wooohoo, back down 250.6 pounds. Almost back into the 240's.
Well, I'm ready to get back on the blogging track...at least Weigh In Wednesdays, so here is todays weigh in...........
Which means I lost all that I had gained and I am down 1 more pound than my last picture of my scale! WOOOHOOO!
I still have not rewarded myself with my 20 pound loss...a necklace. However, I am thrilled I am only 2.6 pounds away from losing 10% of my body weight (from my starting weight of 273.4 this year.)
I now have lost a total of 44.4 pounds from my heaviest weight. Some of which was last year. The journey is turning out to be a slow one, but I am learning invaluable lessons about my self and healthy living along the way. Slow and steady wins the race! Slow and steady wins the race, that's right! S-L-O-W- and steady win the race! Let's win!







Good for you! Those gains are frustrating, but you moved past that little hicup! I have been there too. Here's to fresh starts and losses even if they do seem slow.
ReplyDeleteThe way I see it, a slow loss is better than a slow gain, right? RIGHT. You're heading in the right direction, so CONGRATS!!!
