Do you know how long it’s been since I had a good loss at weigh in? I’ve had nothing but gains (or skipped weigh-ins) since July. This past Saturday, I lost 2.8 pounds and was thrilled! Finally!
It was a good weekend. Friday night, before my stepson’s football game, we stopped to eat dinner at a restaurant I really like. I knew weigh in was the next morning, so while everyone else ordered hamburgers and fries and wraps, I got a small side salad and an unsweet tea. When the food was served, I joked, “Mmmmm! Diet food!”
My older stepdaughter asked me why I ordered diet food, and I told her I have gained some weight since the wedding and want to re-lose it. Without hesitation, she told me, “I think you are gorgeous.” How can I not love the kid? Ha ha.
Yesterday I had signed up for Spinning class after work. The closer it got to quitting time, the more convinced I was that I should just cancel class. I was so sleepy and worn out from the weekend. Just as I was about to go ahead and cancel class, I pictured going home, pigging out, and crashing on the couch. Is that what I really wanted? Well, technically, yes, that is exactly what I wanted to do. But as the day ended, did I want to know I accomplished a good workout, or a pig-out?
I went to class and got a great workout. But I am still fighting the urge to snack and eat all day long. What is up with that? Whether I’m hungry or not, all I want to do is eat, snack, nibble, graze, taste. It makes it very difficult to stick to my guns and stay on track. I’m not sure what to do about that.
I’d like to lose at least 2 pounds this week, so I need to stick to my workouts and not give in to these urges to eat everything in sight!

Great job on the loss. I've noticed the human body is odd. The more active you are the more calories it want a to consume. But it seems you have a good hold on yourself. Really looking forward to seeing more weigh ins. You've got this.

Great job. You are doing amazing. Didn't you lose 1.6 or 1.4 just a week or so ago though?

Yes, I lost a little over a pound last week. I didn't count it because I had skipped weigh in the week before, so I wasn't certain what my actual loss was.
