Small Victories

I think, in this battle, everything is about small victories.

One pound at a time.
One piece of cake turned down.
One extra set of stairs taken.

Today, I had a small victory.

I was able to put on my jeans without sucking in or doing that oh-so-familiar jean stretch dance.

Small victories.

Weigh-in Day

Last weigh-in: 275.8
This week's weight: 266.2
Change since last week: -9.6
Total pounds lost: 26.8

I wish I could say I worked for that almost-10 pound loss, but in reality, I had a stomach virus, and I haven't eaten in a few days (not to mention everything else that was in me coming out). So that 266 is almost certain to creep back up as soon as I'm able to eat again. But I guess, here's to hoping I'll return to it soon enough.

And if I don't creep up, YEAH GO ME!!!

I've spent the last few days thinking about my weight loss. I'm only sorta dedicated to it. I haven't seen a gym in a few months. I'm eating well, but not so well as to be honest enough about it. Yet, slowly and steadily I'm losing some weight.

Should I start updating more? Should I not? Should I keep track of my calories even though that tends to stress me out? How do I find the motivation to get into the gym? I've only been updating this once a week, to let you all know my weight. Should I do more? As a tool to keep me accountable?

Up until now, I haven't really had to give much up. I've just been chipping away at weight loss. But I'm wanting to get in charge of this. I want to be at the steering wheel, not just a passenger.

How do I do it?

Let's be honest...

After the holiday, I'm just glad it wasn't more.

Last weigh-in: 271.8
This week's weight: 275.8
Change since last week: +4.0
Total pounds lost: 17.2

Now, to get it back down... :(

Weigh-in Day

Last weigh-in: 271.6
This week's weight: 271.8
Change since last week: +0.2
Total pounds lost: 21.2

Not heart broken at all. I totally forgot to weigh until the middle of the day (post two meals), so I'm sure a lot of that was liquid and food.

And about the blogging what I'm eating, well this week was a bad week to start that. We taste tested over 300 foods at work, so it was almost impossible to blog that... Maybe that accounts for the +0.2. :)

Until next week... Happy Holidays!

Food Thoughts

Foodie Girl has inspired me to start blogging my food again. Maybe that will make me more aware of what I'm eating. I may only do it again for a little bit, but enough to start watching what I'm eating again. I've just been eating, eating basically well, but not really being mindful. So this week, I'll start blogging again. (And maybe give up Mountain Dew? Or maybe that can wait for 2010...)

Whoo hoo!!!!!!!! Maybe this weight loss doesn't count though. I've been sick all weekend (cold, allergies, something), so food didn't seem too interesting without the ability to taste it...

We'll see how I do next week!

Whoo hoo!!! I did a cheer in my bathroom this morning. I saw it even lower last week, so let's get down to that again!!

Make today count!!!
