It's week eight... two months! Time to reflect on where we've been and where we want to be! In this week's posting, if you're willing, write about your total progress for the past two months. Which goals have you achieved? Which ones fell flat... and why do you think they did? How do you plan to tackle the next two months?
For “Weighing In”, you should post the following things: (1) your weight loss, maintenance or GAIN (yes, own up to it if it's true) for the past week (2) your personal goal for the rest of the week (try to restrict it to one) and (3) your anticipated non-food reward for achieving that goal. Since it seems we are all choosing to weigh-in on Tuesdays, I will create a post for every new week the day before we weigh-in (Monday). This would be a good post to add encouraging words for other individuals as well.

Well, I had another good week... down once again. Another pound! The socks are totally NOT an exciting prize when it's 90 degrees out. I have one last pair to award myself if I make my goal for next week, but I hear it's going to be cooler next week. Maybe. My goal this week is to deny myself a snack at least once... some time when I get the munchies and reach for whatever, I will stop myself and then distract myself with something else. Or have some baby carrots. That's the plan.
In the last 2 months, I dropped from 148 pounds to 139. I made some lofty goals that I fell far short of, but, really, that was to be expected. The fact that I have been losing weight is all that matters, no matter how slow or fast it happens. This means that I have another 8 pounds to lose before I am back to the lowest weight of my adult life. If I were to keep up with what I've been doing, it should take another 2 months, right? Well, we shall see. I've enjoyed checking in here a couple times a week because it helps me to keep weight loss on my mind all week long. Thanks for the help, ladies! :)
Well, I my first posted weight on the blog is 199, and yesterday I weighed in at 192, so I'm down 7 pounds from 2 months ago. It doesn't sound like much, but my total weight loss since I started WW is 25 lbs, so I'm really psyched and proud about that. I can really tell a difference in the way my clothes fit, the way I carry myself and the way my body feels.
Right now I'm not at 100% effort, but I'm ok with that. I was feeling burned out, and I think that I'm better off kinda taking it easy, rather than just fall off the wagon. I'm not packing the pounds back on, so I'm glad for that. I've realized that even if I don't count points, I know how to make better and healier food choices, and that makes me feel empowered and smart about my diet--meaning life-style, not a fad to help me lose weight.
I think that this blog has really helped all of us. Sharing ideas, triumphs and setbacks with people who you trust and sympathize with had really helped me. And it's really great just to have to answer to someone other than the little angel on my shoulder!
