No Weigh!

So, I'm all nervous about weighing in today. Mainly because I was denied my first 20 pounds lost marker last week. No, not denied. Cheated out of, more like. Or swindled from, if you prefer. I can keep going with these, but nobody wants that. On to the scale we go.

319.4

Booya! Suck it, Last Week! 4.6 pounds! That puts me at 20.6 pounds lost in 8 weeks. Which means that I have just under 10 weeks to lose 19.4 pounds and hit my goal of being below 300 before August 21st. I totally got this.

Monday Comes a Bit Late This Week

Sorry for the delay. I guess the idea that bad news travels faster than good news is a lie. Here's what the scale had to say to me:

324.

I knew getting into this that there would be weeks where I would not only not lose any weight, but in all likely hood gain some back, but knowing that beforehand doesn't soften the blow any. I gained almost two pounds. Lame.

Either way, I'm going to hit it particularly hard this week because I have that much more to lose if I'm to hit that first 20 pounds lost marker this next Monday.

It's Monday Morning. Do You Know Where Your 'Weigh In' Is?

It's Monday again. Here we go, onto the scale:

322.2

Down 1 and 1/2 pounds. Not terrible. I was actually really worried because this week has been so incredibly stressful, both at work and at home, that I wouldn't have been surprised if I had gained 5 pounds. I won't go way into it, but basically a person a work quit without warning, which hoses me over, and I got sick over the weekend (still not feeling well at all), which can't really happen because I need to be at work since there is no one else.

Regardless, I'm coming up this next week on my first little mini goal. If I can lose 2.2 pounds by next Monday, I'll have lost 20 since I started. And if I stay consistent, then I'll hit my goal of being below 300 by August 21, no sweat! Well, quite a bit of sweat, actually, but you know what I mean...
