Day Three Hundred and Ninety-Three - Weigh in #56 - Ups and Downs Then and Now

I can't believe I'm fifty-six weigh ins into this journey.  I can still remember this point last year when I was finishing my first four weigh ins.  We had just returned from a trip to Michigan, and I actually put on weight that week.  I remember that I was so frustrated with myself for going up in weight.  After going up over a half pound last week, I really wanted to be sure that I didn't go up this week also.  I did much better than the prior week, but still didn't make perfect food choices.  I was a little nervous that I wouldn't have lost anything, but I was hoping for the best.  

When I stepped onto the scale this morning I was just hoping to be down at least two pounds.  I didn't quite hit that, but I did lose weight.  As of today I am down another 1.8 lbs.  This brings my total weight loss to 151.6 lbs., with a current weight of 214.6 lbs.  I am very excited to be under 215 lbs. for the first time in over twelve years.  I know this wasn't the two pounds or more that I was hoping for, but I'm still very excited to be down again.  Now I need to regroup and have an excellent week to keep the ball rolling.  I'm heading the right direction again, and I'm losing my butter half.

My calories today were good.  I did have a little bit of candy, and allowed myself some chips with my taco tonight.  I really need to be disciplined this week to get back on schedule to be at 200 lbs. in November.  My run this morning went well.  I actually ran at a 10:03/mile pace.  It felt great!  I did my push-ups and sit-ups again tonight.  I think it's going to be sometime next week that I'm back to doing planks as well.
