Tuesday weigh-in
I'm still just maintaining, but with celebrating 3 birthdays last week, with 3 dinners out and 3 birthday cakes, I'm just happy I didn't gain!

Tuesday weigh-in
Just -1, but it puts me over the 5 lb. mark and under one of those milestone weights ending in 0. So I'm happy. :-)

Tuesday weigh-in
I'm back down from the pound I had gained next week, but still haven't broken through to any new weight loss.
I think I need to go back over my original goals and reasons for losing weight that I had written out when I started and get remotivated. I'm having trouble just wanting certain things because I like them, even though they're not good for me. I don't always see the connection between this donut and excess weight "because, after all, lots of people I know eat donuts and aren't overweight." I need to remember that whatever pleasure there is in eating donuts (and whatever else) is just so very temporary, but has such lasting results.

Tuesday weigh-in: Week 8
No change this week -- I've been at the same weight for the last 3 weeks now.
But that's a good thing considering last week I made some of our favorite chocolate chip cookies with vanilla pudding in them for Neighborhood Bible Time (like VBS) and made extra so our family could have some -- and I just couldn't seem to keep my hands off them. I've done a lot better the last couple of days, and it was enough to offset the cookies, but not enough to push through to losing.
But I hope to report a loss next week!

Tuesday weigh-in
No change this week -- which is good since I ate out a lot over the weekend (but I don't know how long it takes for that to process. :) )
I have been going up and down with the same four pounds since the challenge started -- I am hoping this next week to break through and lose more.

Tuesday weigh-in
I have a confession to make. I weighed myself last week, but I was so discouraged, I didn't log in to report my results. It just felt lame to make excuses.
I know that's wrong -- we need to be honest and report both the ups and down. I know it can be encouraging to me to look down the names recorded on "Mr. Linky" and see both pluses and minuses -- encouraging because it tells me we're not alone in having up and down weeks.
So -- I apologize for that.
I knew I had not been on track, but last week I was up by over 5 lbs. It was also "that time of month" (again! Only 23 days since the last time!) and I knew that was a factor, but I didn't realize how much of a factor.
This week I am down by 5 from last week, but I am not going to ask for my - 5 lb. button because I have only lost 4 since the beginning of the challenge. I've been up and down with those 4, but I am hoping this week to progress. A big event and some other busy-ness are over now, so I will be able to get back to tracking what I eat and focusing on what I need to do.
