.8

After losing 6 pounds the first week, I was anxious to weigh in this week. I wasn't as optimistic this time around, thinking I'd probably be down 1 or 2 pounds. I kicked off the Saucony running shoes that I have been using quite frequently the last 2 weeks and stepped on the scale. 192.2. I only shed .8 pounds. I was so disgusted. All the hard work this week and only eight tenths of a pound. 12.8 ounces. Damn it. I was feeling pretty down when my husband called...

"Hey! How did the meeting go?"
"It was fine."
"How much weight did you lose?"
"Only .8 of a pound."
"Congratulations!"
"That sucks!"
"At least you didn't gain .8 pounds."

And you know what? He is right. At least I still lost and didn't gain.
I will try harder this week and try to get in even more activity points. I will try to eat all of my points this week. I'm allowed 25 and have been eating about 20. My meeting leader stressed that we must eat the points we are given.
I will try harder.
I will try harder.
I will try harder.

***Oh, yeah - that pic above? That is supposed to be what I look like. Let's see how much that changes!
