Onward and Downward

I don't really mention my weight much.  I'm trying not to have the scale be the "be all, end all" for me.  Having said that, I do weigh myself everyday.  My morning ritual is: wake up, pee, get naked, and stand on the scale.  Today the number is: 181.0#.  On November 3 the number was: 199.0#.  It is slow progress but it IS progress.  To date I have lost 18#.  I have a calendar hanging on the wall by my desk.  I write down my weight everyday and I am happy to say that the entire month of February I never showed a 9 as the second digit for my weight.  That makes me really, really proud of myself.  I also feel having this visible reminder  close at hand is beneficial.  I can see the successes building on each other.  It encourages me to keep making better choices!!

I also took my measurements this week.  Since Jan 30, I am down 1" in my chest, waist, and hips.  I am not happy it is only 3 total inches seems like it should be more.  I don't know where I would find out if this is too little an amount after 18# in 3+ months.  Wait that isn't right because the 3" are since Jan. 30, less than a month ago.  Ok I guess it is alright. It is success, I am moving in the right direction!

I can, I will!!
