After an almost 2 week vacation, I can claim the major scale and non-scale victories of actually losing weight while away! I managed to lose over 5 lbs in the 10 days I was gone. I had a plan, stuck with it (mostly) and didn't feel deprived or frustrated.
However, I guess my body needed some adjustment--I was up a pound this AM at WI.
Yeah, I'm a little bummed. I wanted that 50lb star a lot today! But, it will come. I've already hit some major milestones since this journey started:
5 lbs 4/6/2006
10 lbs 4/20/2006
25 lbs 5/25/2006
30 lbs 6/8/2006
1st 10% 6/15/2006
40 lbs 7/20/2006
50 lbs TBA
2nd 10% TBA
75 lbs TBA
3rd 10% TBA
100 lbs TBA
Looking at the journey this way, I can see that I've hit a major mileston for every month I've been OP. That's a lot of success along the way. I won't hit a milestone in August, but September looks to be a great month! I'll be saying so long to 50lbs, plus will be getting out of the 270s forever!
This helps me keep perspective on days like this, when I'm a little bummed and/or frustrated at the scale.
For every "stumble", I've walked a mile.
I will not look behind me. The view ahead is too exciting to miss!
