Week Number 8

May 19, 2015
Weight - 233.0

I honestly thought this was a mistake.  I have been traveling a ton, meaning I haven't been eating the best and I haven't been exercising.  I guess those couple of days aren't really impacting me and I should take more credit for the days I spent most of my day walking around.  :)

The Seventh Week

May 12, 2105
Weight - 235.8

Or something close to that.  I had an odd weigh in this morning.  My scale is a little wonky so I take a few measurements and usually pick an average or the one that shows up the most.  This time I took a measurement, saw it was a 2 lb gain, and reweighed before I remembered that I mistyped my weight in my calorie tracking program last week. 

Still about another pound down this week.  I will especially take this one since I was on vacation and it is right before my cycle.  I guess really watching it is helping.  :)

The Sixth Week

May 5, 2015
Weight - 236.8

That's another pound down. I like it.  Almost 10 lbs down now.  Everything fits better and I just plain feel better.

I am at 95% of normal for the back. I am working hard to keep up my strength and the flexibility is slowly returning.  All good news.

I recently read Better Than Before, which was recommended by a friend.  It wasn't the easiest read in the world, but it had some good insights.  I took away some good self-discovery moments (I am an Obliger - even if I don't want to be one, an Over-Buyer, a Finisher, and a Mostly Abstainer) and some good tips and tools to make things long term, healthy habits.  If you want to read it, I would highly recommend grabbing it from the library.  :)
