Wednesday night weigh in (6/13)

I was a bit anxious weighing in tonight at my meeting. I knew it was going to be close for me to lose any weight. I didn't even look at the numbers on the scale when I weighed in. I waited for the receptionist to tell me where I stood. She told me that I had LOST .2.  I was still only .2 away from the 20 lb lost mark! So close, yet so far away. The 5 lb star had eluded me yet again.

I was very happy to have lost any weight considering how off track I felt this past week. I looked back though in eTools and I had kept within my points. I used all but 15 of my weekly points and did not trade any AP's for PP values. So even though I didn't make the best choice for every meal, I did track and account for every bite and kept within my points.

I imagine that if I can make different, more healthy choices I will lose more weight. If I can add to the healthy choices with walking a few days a week I think I could be pretty consistent with the weight loss. I have a lot of weight to lose. I can do it if I put my mind to it.

So, .2. If I had taken my socks off I probably could have made 20 lbs lost. LOL I should have gone without socks or a bra and I would have made it. Not that I'm desperate to make this milestone or anything. ;)

I don't want to jinx myself and say with certainty that I will lose that .2 by next Wednesday, but I'm pretty hopeful that I'll get that next 5 lb star. I will have worked harder for this sticker than any other so far. It will mean a lot to me.

Yeah, .2 - never did such a small number make such a big difference. I'm psyched for next week already!! I will keep that in mind as I go through each day, each meal, each snack in the coming week. I can only do this a day at a time. .2 is the number - I ain't afraid of no ounce!
