I was excited to weigh in Saturday morning and see the results of my first week of Weight Watchers: 180 pounds even. Problem is, when I went to compare that to last week, I remembered that I chickened out last week and didn’t weigh in. Damnit! So I don’t really know what I lost. Compared to my weigh-in from two weeks ago, I lost 1.4 pounds. I know it was really much more than that, though, because I have no doubt I had a gain last week.
I should be happy with a loss, but not knowing exactly what I lost just left me frustrated. I feel like I worked hard all week and don’t really know what the result was. Back at it this week, and at least this Saturday, I will have an accurate weigh-in comparison and will know exactly what I lose.
We are finally having some cooler weather here, and I love it! I hate summer. Give me sweatshirts, fireplaces, hot tea, and snuggling under a blanket any day.
My husband and I worked in our yard yesterday, and the day was just beautiful. I didn’t notice until this morning, on my way to work, that he also changed my car’s windshield wiper blades at some point while I was buried in a tree or shrub, trimming away.
We took advantage of the chilly weekend and snuggled up. That’s when he told me he would be happy if I didn’t change a thing. I asked what he meant, and he said he likes how I look right now.
At first I wished he hadn’t said it. Knowing he is fine with how I look right now could easily just become my excuse not to lose any weight at all. Then I snapped out of it and told myself how obnoxious I was being. It was a compliment, for goodness sake. He likes how I look. It’s not his fault my brain twisted sweet words into justification for not losing any more weight.
Bottom line, my current weight simply is not healthy. I want to reach a healthy weight and be fit and strong. So I will keep working at losing this weight.
