Well, I goofed --I thought that today was 30-days since I first took my measurements so I took them again. Actually, it's next week that I was supposed to take them.
Anyway, I've lost 8 inches in 3 weeks and another weigh-in today reveals a 7.6 pound loss in one week. I'm thinking that if I keep losing at this rate, those weight watcher folks are going to get on my case about it. If that happens, I can always take a break from weigh-ins.
I'm exercising regularly and I can feel the difference.

WOW! When I first started losing, I had a sore feeling on my right side---where my waist would be if I actually had one. I went to the mirror to see what was wrong and was appauled that I had such a huge spare tire hanging around my waist that I had to lift up the spare tire to look underneath and see what was hurting. Turned out I had a small gathering of cysts there.
Well, today I got out of the shower and as I walked by the bathroom mirror I noticed a red area on my right side. I was ELATED, it was those same cysts showing signs of drying out and healing ---AND, I could see them without having to lift up any flab! --
Meaning the spare tire has shrunk considerably. Talk about thrilled!
Anyway, J took the day off from work and we drove to Brooklyn to visit S. We walked (and walked and walked) all over Brooklyn. My feet, back and legs are killing me! I know I must have burned a ton of calories today.

Well, I was up a half a pound for this week's weigh-in. Rationally, I know that if I'm doing the right things I will lose, but emotionally it's another story. Debating if weekly weigh ins should be continued. I've been doing fine w/out knowing what I weighed from week to week and was really focused.
Thursday, September 30 Reaffirming my Path
I've been off-center & low energy for the past week. Weather has kept me indoors and I got out of the habit of my daily walk with the dog. I've been eating--- not enough to gain, but enough to keep me from losing the way I need to.
DAMN! It's so difficult to come back to what I know I must do after one of these "dietary vacations." But I MUST! I was miserable all summer with the heat. I don't want next summer to roll around and find that I am still sitting here sweating buckets in a size 28 sun dress.
I need/want/must transform myself over the fall and winter! I can't go on like this!
I've been back on track and peeing like crazy. I must have been retaining water.
Onward!
