Yes, I know…again it’s been awhile. I had about 3 weeks of feeling like I was losing the weight-loss battle (no pun intended) and so hadn’t been to any WW weigh-ins since…well…I think April 26. I gained at that weigh-in which only fed my sense of defeat. However I have since found that it was not true defeat, but rather I think I just needed to take some time back at camp to rest and rally the troops back up.
So from April 26 through last Saturday I took it easy. I kinda-sorta tried to stay on WW. I kinda-sorta counted my points. I kinda-sorta made decent (if not always good) food choices. And then I felt like I could go back and get myself weighed-in again this past Saturday, May 10. SUCCESS!! In the 3 weeks since I had been in the last time, I dropped an additional 6.4 pounds! Wahoo!!
The troops have officially rallied and I am completely back on board and feeling invigorated by this recent “win”. In fact, I only have 6 more pounds until I hit my Weight Watcher’s goal weight (although that still puts me about 20 pounds above where I want to be personally). This means that, in total, I’ve lost 28.4 pounds to date. That’s a little over the weight of 3 gallons of milk. Wow.
I also found this week that I’m really starting to gain back a lot of my wardrobe which is a HUGE thing for me (again, no pun intended). I’ve had a lot of people say that I should go out and buy new clothes, but I’m not ready to spend money like that when I still have a ways to go, additionally I’m more excited by the prospect of being able to wear stuff I haven’t been able to wear in over a year. To me, that’s almost better than getting new clothes.
Okay, so I’ll go again on Saturday – hopefully the trend will continue and I can hit my WW goal in the next few weeks and then on to the next milemarker!
