Okay, so 0.3lbs in over a month is so
not
impressive, I know. I admit though, I rushed to post that 167.1 before because it was a new low and I was excited, it never occurred to me to wait until it stuck, and it did not stick one bit. I went right back up to 168.something the next day (think I may have been a tad bit dehydrated) and have bounced around between 168 and 170ish ever since. I also admit that I totally lost my motivation and was really just aiming not to gain rather than to lose, which I pretty much managed to do despite not eating as well as I should have and a serious lack of exercising. Hey, I was sick for a solid two weeks and now have a pulled muscle, I have an excuse! At least I didn't gain in my month gone!
I'm back on track now, doing what I can, easily proven to me by the fact that I went from 168/169 (honestly can't remember) something last week down to 166.8lbs. Moving in the right direction! And this is on my finicky scale, which is usually at least half a pound heavier than my usual scale (which is broken) so to see that number on this scale is super exciting. I'm going to report this one now before it "sticks" too because again, it's a new low and I'm excited. I have my motivation back so even if the scale goes up tomorrow, it won't be staying there.

losing 0.1 lb a week

Imagine waking up and weighing yourself, only to see the scale read 209 when it read in the 160s the previous morning. If you were fully awake that would be fine, but while in that half awake, half asleep place, it was scary. For a moment, I believed I had only dreamt I lost the weight and in reality had gained a pound instead. Stupid scale is still reading funny, I really need a new one. Guess I'll have to rely on my Wii Fit for awhile. Luckily they weren't too far off from each other.

Guess I'm in a writing mood today.
I went shopping for new clothes for my daughter and ended up trying on a few things myself, just because. For once, I felt I looked decent in a store mirror. I can see where I'm thinning out. Sure, my stomach is still a little too pudgy (okay, it's a lot too pudgy,but then it is my biggest problem area), my arms are chubby and my thighs still jiggle too much but all those parts are smaller than they once were. I've had a hardtime seeing that. I've had my "thin moments" but never fully accepted that I'm truly slimming down fo real. Now I think I can really see it. "They" say the last 10-20lbs make the biggest difference, and I hope that's true. I don't expect my body to be perfect when I hit goal (in fact I'm sure it won't be, I've been overweight/obese for years and had two babies; I'll be content to have a slightly poochy tummy and I've accepted that my "bat wings" might shrink but are probably here to stay) but I'm hoping that weight is low enough to get rid of my excess fat. I don't want to be stick thin, just at a healthy weight/body fat percentage. I have no need/want to look like a model anyway. The only thing I'm insistent (I know, being insistent will do me tons of good) about thinning out are my legs; they're shaping up like they may end up looking amazing.
I estimate that if I keep working hard, even accounting for the inevitable slow down, I should be able to make goal by the end of February or March. We'll see how I look/feel then. I may need to adjust my goal weight but I doubt it would be by much, if at all. At 5'8'' with my build, I doubt I would want to get much lower than 135, if even that low.

Okay, so 3 1/2lbs doesn't look like much but really, I was stuck at 173-174lbs for awhile and it was driving me bananas. I was so happy to break out of that a few days ago, and my goodness am I happy to see the 160s! Barely, but I'm there. I have never seen 160 anything and I am beyond excited. I was also measured the other day and I'm a tiny bit taller than I thought, so my real cut off weight for a normal BMI is 163, not 159. That means I'm only 6.5lbs away from a normal BMI! How cool is that? It was my goal to make it to a normal BMI by my birthday and the closer we got to it with 173 still on the scale the more discouraged I got but I just may make it now. Then I can work on losing the last 20lbs. So happy!
Nothing to really do with weight loss specifically, but worth noting. I met a really cute guy this past week and for once, I didn't feel like he was looking right past me. I've never had great self esteem, but my ex-husband shot what I did have all to hell a few years ago. Losing weight has helped it immensely; not that I think I'm necessarily any better thinner, but it makes me feel better about myself, so it helps my confidence, and I think my self esteem may just recover after all.
