FINALLY!

FINALLY!  The scale budged again.  I took a peek mid-week and I had a feeling that it would be an okay week.  Actually, food wise it wasn't that great.  I ate out 3 times this week...and one night we had Mexican and I did not hold back. 

Anyway, here are this week's result...

I am FINALLY in the normal weigh range for my height.  If you look at this chart, there was only one other time that I was normal (09/06/10)...ALL of the other times I was "overweight." 

I am at the point that a one pound weight loss makes me VERY happy.  Slow and steady.  If you average how I lost weight last summer, it was about one pound a week.  My goal is to lose another 2.5 lbs by the end of the month. 

I'm actually having second thoughts about putting away the scale.  I weighed myself 3 or 4 times this week.  Which on one hand, makes me seem/feel kind of crazy...on the other hand, I knew where I stood.  I knew by the way that I was eating that I would most likely maintain the loss at the end of the week.  I don't know...I guess I need to decide between now and next Sunday.

As a whole, I am super happy with this week.  It has been a long time since the scale has moved in the right direction.  I feel that my 2.5 half pound goal is very doable...and I'm excited to go ahead and get this month over with (for multiple reasons.)
