Two weeks on, two weeks off

I'm headed in the right direction this week having chipped away a tad at my last two week's weight gain. I'm down 1.6 pounds this week. It took me two weeks to put on two and a half pounds, so I guess it's only fitting it'll take me two weeks to take it off. I had hoped to get back to my original low today, but hey, I'm headed in the right direction.

Yes! I've lost 33.6 pounds so far!

Back trickling

I guess it had to happen sometime just to keep me firmly planted in the reality that yeah, losing weight is hard. I've been pretty impervious to that thought so far as I've been pretty successful with out any setbacks... until now. I didn't get to weigh in last week because I was out of town (a good thing, me thinks) but I had to finally face the music today. I gained 2.4 pounds. Ugh! I am happy, sort of, that that is all I gained. I had a pretty care free weekend last week while at my parents and then went to Rome and was tortured with fresh cheese, salami and pasta. Who can resist that?

Considering all that I've eaten in the past two weeks a gain of 2.4 pounds isn't that bad. I probably gained more than that but have been able to lose some. I hope to be back at my previous low by next week, which is why I'm hoofin' it this week and keeping with the plan.

I didn't post my weigh-in results from the week prior... I probably got distracted. I had lost 1.6 pounds that week, bringing my weight loss total to 34.4. For the first time I got below 210, which was a huge milestone. Though it didn't last long, I plan to be right back there by next week. I can still proudly say:

Yes! I've lost 32 pounds so far!

Gas: National average now $4/gallon

Yikes! I guess I should be thrilled I passed a gas station yesterday where gas was only $3.82. But $4/gallon? That scares the hell out of me because I don't think the run-up is done yet. I suppose that's why I am anxiously awaiting news in the next few weeks on whether or not I'll get a pink slip (again). I was nearly furloughed after 9/11 and I may not be out of the woods this time either. The numbers should be out in the next few weeks. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Fingers crossed!

Trickling

Another week, another weigh-in, another loss! I lost 1.6 pounds this past week, and am now just 12 pounds away from falling below 200! For now, I am looking forward to dropping to 2-0-something. I have enjoyed each milestone, falling into the 230s, then 220s, then 2-teens. Now the 2-0-somethings is looking great. But even better? The 190s! Hopefully in another month I'll be there!

Yes! I've lost 32.6 pounds so far!
