The scale was kind to me. Or maybe I was kind to me. I worked hard to make better decisions with eating this week. I only walked once and ran once. I’m learning more and more and losing weight is mostly about food choices. Exercise has a lot of benefits, but I can’t eat like a glutton and expect to be able to exercise off all those extra calories. I had put on 5 pounds since my lowest weigh-in at the end of April. I’ve lost 4 of those pounds now (since Sunday). It feels good.
8 1/2 pounds to my pre-pregnancy weight.
16 1/2 pounds to my goal weight.
Good job on your weigh in. I’ve been having the same problem with bad choices. Yesterday I started carrying a pad of paper with good and bad lists and I write all the good choices I make and the bad choices. Then I keep a list of the things I’m learning I have to watch out for. Like going to DQ for a sundae isn’t awful, but if I do it early in the day, that isn’t a good decision, because I might have another treat before the day is over. Anyway. I’ve gained about 5 pounds from my lowest weight and I wanted to get lower than that, so I have about 10 pounds more to go. A lot of stress in my life with the rehearsals for “Mame.” But I need to learn to deal with stress without eating every sweet food known to man!
