I'm losing and gaining back the same damn pound. It has to end sometime right? It has to budge lower eventually. Maybe I need to drop my points by a category or something. Maybe I need to go back to weighing everything. Damn it.

Second Week Weigh In

Starting Weight: 256
Current Weight: 249.8
Total Lost: 6.2
Next Goal: 10% starting body weight (25lbs) 10% of weight to be lost 12lbs

Again, not really tearing it up, am I? Less than two pounds for week two. Saturday night probably sabotaged me a bit, but man this is going slow.

If you notice, I changed my first goal. I was thinking that smaller goals might be better. And also, the goal of losing 10% of your starting weight is a one time thing. If I decide how much I want to lose (126lbs based on where I want to end up), then I have a concrete end goal and I can gauge how far along that path I am by tracking increments. So 12lbs (rounding down because 120lbs is good too) is 10% of what I want to lose. When I've lost 36lbs, I'll know that I'm 30% of the way to the end.

With the way this is going, it's going to be Thanksgiving before I reach the first goal, and probably well into March to reach the second one. If I keep the 2lbs/week thing up, then we're looking at over a year for the whole thing. And that's assuming no slip-ups, plateaus, or breaks. Lovely.

And yes, I know that whole "you didn't put it on overnight so you can't expect to take it off that quickly." Bah.

Positive thought for the day/week: I'm still losing not gaining, and I even made room within my points for movie popcorn.

W00t! I dropped into the next rung down points wise. I'm a little apprehensive about tomorrow. I'm going to the Blue October concert with the girls, and I'm wondering if I'll be able to stay within points. We usually end up eating out after something like that and I know I'll be drinking some tequila. I guess I'll just wing it and see what happens.
