Weigh In Day!

Today is weigh in day.  It was good, but I am still VERY disappointed.  It’s hard for me to see how far off my goal I am, even though I know I’m moving in the right direction.  This week, I weighed in at 220.6 – which is exactly a 2 pound loss from last week.  I also lost a total of 3 inches – a ½ inch here, a ½ inch there… 

I know!  I should be happy.  I know I should – but I’m not.  Each week, I get further and further from where I wanted to be by now.  This week, I wanted to be at 212.  I am 8 pounds over that.  Plus, I don’t see any changes.  Maybe in my face a little bit, but all of my clothes still fit the same, and I still see a blob when I look in the mirror. 

We are now on week 9 of this little journey.  I’ve always heard that 12 weeks is the magic number… That all of a sudden, your body realizes this isn’t some fad, that you’re actually changing, and lets go and begins to transform.  I have to continue to remind myself that I am still 3 weeks from that point.  I have to continue to remind myself that while I am not seeing changes in the mirror or my wardrobe, that the pictures don’t lie.  That I have lost 65 pounds.  That I have lost 20.75 inches off of my body.  That I have lost at LEAST 20% body fat.  And since I started tracking LBM and FBM, I have gained 8.2 pounds of muscle, and lost 13.6 pounds of pure fat. 

I HAVE made progress – and someday – I’m going to finally see it.  I just have to stay focused. 

Here is a reminder of my goals:

• I will weigh in, and report my weight at LEAST once a week, maybe more.
• I will get to the gym (or workout at home) 4 times each week.
• I will cut out the unnecessary sugary drinks, and get back to drinking water.
• I will update the below chart after each week's weigh-in. If I meet the goal listed, the date will be changed to blue. If I miss it - it will be red. If I meet my 2 lb per week goal, but miss the "goal weight", it will stay purple (blue and red makes what???). Hopefully, by the end of this, there will be more blues and purples than reds. :)
