Well I hope you didn’t miss my usual weigh-in post on Saturday. I’ve now shifted that post to Wednesday to coincide with the weigh-ins I do for the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans summer challenge (go TEAM COCOA). I’m happy to report that I lost more weight since my last my weigh in. I’ve now lost 13.8 pounds! If I can get to 20 pounds I will be so happy! I have never lost 20 pounds or more in my entire life. I just keep thinking that slow and somewhat consistent progress is the way to go. If I can just keep it up, it will only be a matter of time before I reach my goals. That’s a very cool prospect.

Yay! I

Well the good old scale was my friend this week! After a gain last Saturday, I tried my hardest to stay positive and not get discouraged. I weighed in on Wednesday for my Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans (TEAM COCOA!) challenge, and lost that extra pound I had apparently gained. Well it just keeps getting better and I am down another 2 since then! Hopefully, I can maintain or lose more in time for Wednesday’s weigh-in!

But I am also so thrilled because I finally hit my 5% goal!! I now feel great about buying my Wii and EA Sports Active.

My next goal is to reach 10% loss.

Ugh.

So I’ve put off writing today’s post long enough. To make a long story short, I gained a pound this week.

I am not happy about it, but I am not discouraged. I truly have to step it up a notch. I think I’ve gotten sloppy with my tracking and I’ve also made poor food choices. Even though I’m sticking to my points, I’ve still been eating poorly. And there were a couple of occasions this week (like Kerry’s baby shower), where I had to guess what my points were for things.

So this week I’m going to do a few things to get back on track. I’m not going to rely on flex points. I’m going to try and avoid them. I’m going to eat more little meals through out the day. I’m going eat healthier foods, and I’m going to be completely accountable.

I’m also going to weigh-in on Wednesday for my summer challenge over at Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans. I think adding in another weigh-in opportunity mid-week may help me see how I’m doing and keep me accountable.
