Day Three Hundred and Fifty-Eight - Weigh in #51 - This One Was Frustrating

I really don't know what to say about today's weigh in.  For fifty-one weeks I have stepped onto the scale, and for almost all of those weeks I've been happy with the results.  For the first time I can honestly say that I am actually upset with my weigh in.  Even the weeks when I went up in weight didn't frustrate me like this one did.  If you remember, I am trying to hit my September first goal of 220 lbs.  This would end my year of blogging with a total loss of 146.2 lbs., and leave me with only 20 lbs. left to hit my final goal.  After my morning weigh in, it will be amazing if I'm able to hit that goal.

When I weighed this morning, I was very surprised to see the numbers that showed up.  I didn't think I had lost much, but I was thinking it would at least be over a pound.  I was wrong.  As of this morning, I have lost another 0.2 lbs.  This gives me a total loss of 143.8 lbs., with a current weight of 223.4 lbs.  I know it is good that I didn't go up any, but I didn't eat horribly this week.  There were a few meals that I had more than usual, but nothing that should have prevented me from losing weight.  As I mentioned before, I'm pretty frustrated about this.  Especially since I was only 12 pounds from my goal back at the beginning of July.  I was certain I would hit this goal.  In order for me to hit the goal now I will have to lose at least 3.5 lbs. to be below 220 lbs.  I'm not saying that it is impossible, but it will definitely require a lot of hard work (which I'm not afraid of).  One thing I will say about not losing this week is that I did have a big drop right after being sick.  I guess once I started eating again, it balanced out some of my big loss last week.  Regardless of why, I need to have the best week ever to hit this goal.  I am going to keep losing my butter half.

My calories today were perfect.  I am going to be extremely cautious his week and make sure to give myself the best possible chance to hit my goal.  My workout this morning was good, and I'm planning to run tomorrow morning.  For several days this week, I want to double up my workout with a morning run, and an evening ride on my recumbent bike.
