Week 5 Weigh In...

Well, don't ever let me tell you that I learn from my mistakes. Last week, I had a bad day on Saturday night (the night before I weigh in) and it negatively affected my weigh-in. This week, I had another bad night. I spent all day hungry (and eating to try to slow it down), and then went to a friends house for dinner and really didn't pay any attention to what I was eating at all. I knew it would be bad for my weigh in, but I felt like I "deserved" it after 5 weeks of good eating. Yeah, that's the kind of thinking that put me in this mess in the first place.

All that said, there is some positive to take from this week's and last week's Saturday night transgressions... I lost weight still! This morning I weighed in at 196.4. That is another 1.4 pounds lost for a total of 8.6 pounds in five weeks. Nevermind that I started yesterday at 194.2. We'll leave that bit of complaining for another day. Because, in the end, my ultimate goal is 185 and I'm continuing to move toward that goal. Progress....

I could have written this exact post. This week and last week!

Especially that bit about deserving it after a good 5 weeks.
