For twenty-two straight weeks I have braved the one-inch step up onto my scale. Every Thursday I hold my breath, shut my eyes tight, and place my feet on the cold, ruthless, glass that has the power to mock me for the next seven days. It's amazing how much power that little blue screen holds over me. With each week I find myself dreading my weigh ins. The further along my journey I get, the more I have this irrational thought that I will step onto the scale and it will suddenly jump back to 366 lbs. Or it will slowly start climbing back up and it won't matter how hard I try, each week I'll weigh more than the week before. Thankfully, every week the number on the scale goes down (except for Weigh in #4, but we don't speak about that). I know my continued success is because I'm sticking to the processes that have worked since I started losing back in September. No matter what your goal, stick to the processes that work and I promise you'll reach your mark!
Today was no different than the past weigh ins. I hemmed and hawed a little before nervously stepping onto the scale. When I finally opened my eyes, I was more than pleased with the number I saw. As of this morning I had dropped another 2.6 lbs. I am weighing in at 281.4 lbs, bringing my total weight loss to 84.8 lbs. This means I am officially over halfway to losing my butter half. I now have less than half of my goal left to lose. I'm excited for the progress this week, but ready to move on. I will not be satisfied until I see that 2-0-0 on my scale. I am over halfway there, and I'm still losing my butter half.
My calorie intake was great today. I love getting to the end of the day, and feeling satisfied that I didn't overeat. I had another full workout this evening, so right now I am very pleased with my day!
