Just hit my 10% goal! It just occurred to me to follow that with a "woot!" because the last time I blogged was in high school, but I think I'll refrain.
SO it's been like 3 weeks since I posted. Well, I didn't reach my little 2 week goal I set for myself. I was still 2. something pounds away from it at graduation. That was frustrating because I spent the week before graduation trying really hard and working out intensely, but when I weighed in I had actually gained a little bit. Right after graduation my family and I went to Key West on vacation and I didn't have internet so I didn't bother with tracking points. We went out to restaurants most days so I was afraid I might have gained. I started following the plan again the day after we got back. I ended this week with -10 weekly points left but somehow I've lost 1.6 lbs since the last time I weighed!
This is good because lately I've been feeling a little unmotivated. I mean, I had been doing this for 4 months and I seemed to be hanging around 20 lbs of weight loss. I know 20 lbs is good for 4 months, but I was hoping I'd have lost more by now. Also, I seemed to be going so slowly through the mid 190's. I began cheating a little, you know, not counting points for bites taken when grazing around the kitchen. I could feel my willpower shrinking. It doesn't help that I've just graduated and am now unemployed, desperately searching for a job, and trying to figure out who I am. I think the vacation was good because I got a break from the diet and from life. I also think that if I hadn't lost 1.6 lbs I would have continued to feel a loss of motivation. But now I'm feeling good, like I can keep doing this :)
