Here I am at the end of my fourth week. This week has included stress, a holiday and visiting relatives. This interprets to lots of eating and drinking - especially alcohol. Needless to say, I wasn't looking forward to my weigh in this morning, but on the scale I did get. And much to my surprise I came in at 188.0 lbs... another loss to record! Only one-half pound, but given the amount of food and drink that has passed my lips in the past three days, well, I'll take it. This raises my total loss to 10 pounds since I started this journey, almost one-third of the way to reaching my goal of losing 35 pounds... and my average is 2.5 pounds lost per week - right on target for losing FAT.
Along with checking my weight each week, I'm also checking my size by trying on a pair of jeans that have been too small. Well, even though my weight loss was only one-half pound, I was able to put on my jeans and button them! I actually wore them today out to lunch!!! WOO-HOO!! This is a great accomplishment and shows the importance of not just gauging my loss by what the scale tells me. The success with my jeans today proves I AM getting smaller.
I'm patting myself on the back for yet another successful week.
... and here's the happy girl in her jeans today! :)
