Onward and Downward

I'm a couple days behind but I did weigh in on Monday and came in at 272.6.  I was hoping to get down to 272.5 but I'll take it.  Despite my couple weeks of little loss, I am still just ahead of my goal which is an average of 2.5 lbs per week.  I'm already off to a good start this week.  I'm really excited to weigh in next Monday. 

I also realize that I'm behind on my measurements.  I planned to measure myself at the beginning of the month.  I will get on that and post those new measurements soon.  I'm excited to see how things have changed already.  I do know my clothes are a little looser and my belt is almost out of holes.  I'm definitely moving in the right direction.

A Little Disappointed, But Not Discouraged

So I weighed in this morning at 275 lbs.  While I'm still a little ahead of my goal of 2.5 lbs per week on average, I have averaged less than that for the past two weeks.  I think the big disappointment is that I weighed myself yesterday and came in a pound less. 

However, I'm not discouraged.  I've lost these 13 lbs so far without really increasing my exercise.  And today, I plan to start another program.  So far, I'm two weeks in to the hundred pushups challenge.  Today, I'll start the couch to 5k program.  That will get me walking and jogging at least 3 times a week.  I'm actually really excited to keep this up.  Julie told me yesterday that she is starting to be able to see a difference.  I'm planning to take measurements tonight so we'll see if there has been any improvement.
