Second Weigh in

I lost 1.8 pounds

I am now back to what I was at my last weigh in on November 1st before I fell off the wagon for the holidays. I am happy it is a loss but truth be told I was hoping it was more. I know I shouldn't look at it that way but it's just the truth. I was more militant and diligent this week thank I have been about losing weight in years.

Weigh In Day

I lost 1.8

I am now back to where I was on November 1st before I fell off the wagon for the holidays. It's a loss and I'll take it but I'll be honest I was hoping for more. It felt like the longest week of my life. I felt very disciplined and deprived. But, my monthly bill arrived yesterday which probably screwed me up a little bit. I feel huge and bloated. I also didn't exercise because Jane was sick all week and I didn't take her to the Y.

I am going to stick to documenting my daily plans and see if I can get to a new low next week. New low meaning a number I haven't seen in at least a year.

I do feel better and am not as hungry as I was the first few days. Slow and steady right?
