I had such high hopes for today... I can honestly say I was excited to weigh in! After losing 4 pounds last week, I realized I only had to lose 4.2 more to reach my 10% goal, and I knew it was possible to lose that in one week.
With that in mind, I exercised six days this week and tracked everything I ate. I did use my 35 extra points this week, which I don't usually do, but I stayed within my points the rest of the week. I even got up this morning and exercised before I went to my meeting, which I have never done before!
Well this morning I stepped on the scale and gained 0.8 pounds. WHAT?!?!? I was shocked! I overheard some ladies at my meeting saying that if you exercise before weighing in, the scale will usually show a gain in pounds. I wish I knew that! I was proud of myself that I got up to exercise this morning and then it ended up hurting my number on the scale!
So I'm bummed that I didn't reach my 10% today, but I'm fully expecting a big number in a week. Next week I will hopefully get two awards: one for my 10% and one for attending 16 meetings. So far, I have lost 21.8 pounds in 16 weeks.
Here's to a good week!
**Oh, and one small victory this week: I wore a dress this week that I haven't worn for a while. Last time I wore it I was so uncomfortable because the sleeves were way too tight. This time I didn't even feel like I had to pull at the sleeves the whole day because they fit comfortably!
