Today is a busy day, weight-loss-wise. First of all, I went to WW and discovered I'd lost three pounds (in spite of upcoming Puffy Week!) and I got my 15-lb star that I didn't pick up last week. Then, because it was the first day of the month, I updated both my measurements and weight loss pages on the website. It's very difficult to measure myself because I don't know where the tape is going around my back (ie "Is it straight?") I imagine it will get easier as I get smaller and less roly-poly.
Today is also "Treat Day", the Saturday closest to the first of the month. Last month I went to A&W, with varying degrees of success. (Remember the onion rings that I'm still convinced gave me a headache?) My intention is not to go hog-wild on Treat Day, but I will get some junk food (only stuff that I know the nutritional info for) and I will splurge a few Flexpoints. I haven't decided yet where I'm going or what I'm going to get, but I have a funny feeling ice cream may be a factor. Of all of the things I'm no longer eating much, I think I miss ice cream the most.
So, folks, I'm two months in as of today, and I'm still going strong. This is not to say I'm not still finding big challenges (don't ask me how little water I drank this week, okay?), but overall, it's going very well. When I walk, I can feel that the fat around my ribcage is dissipating, because my elbows aren't hitting the same amount of cushioning they used to at my sides. I can see it in my face. Best of all, other people have been making a point of coming up and telling me they can see it, and I noticed yesterday that there seems to be some extra room in the backseat of my black jeans.
It's working this time, but that's because I'm working this time.
And it feels good. :)
