Two pounds…down!
Gotta admit, I was a little discouraged this week. Emotionally this week has been tough, and I have been all whiny and bitter about trying the weight loss thing again.
I have dropped and added hundreds pounds for more than 30 years, so my failure rate at healthy weight maintenance is pretty solid. Why would this time be any different?
But, other than one indulgent meal that my hubby and I allow ourselves on Saturdays, I was very good at making healthy choices this week and did not give in to emotional cravings. And I lost two pounds this morning at my Weight Watchers scale step.
So that provided a wee bit of encouragement that I can hang with this.
Short term prizes to keep an eye on: A dressy fundraiser gala in a few weeks and a trip to California in October. It will be nice to wear one of my nicer outfits and feel more confident this upcoming soiree and it will be especially nice to have a smaller ass to wedge into an airplane seat for a cross-country flight.
Within-a-year-goal: A trip to New York City for BlogHer12 with my hubby, which will be much more enjoyable being able to walk the city with less achy stabby pain in my knees.
Long term goal: Become the Bionic Woman.Take off enough weight that, when I do get my knee replaced, the rehab will make me stronger, faster, better.
But today? Indulgence Saturday, the day when there is one sinful meal.
There will be pizza. And cannoli. Yes. There will be a celebratory cannoli.
