Weekly Weigh-in

Sunday morning again, and this time a holiday, and time for another installment of the weekly weigh-in.

This week feels like it went pretty well. Had some good times with friends all throughout the week, which is never a bad thing, had a nice productive couple days of work where a lot of things got done, didn't get the extra exercise in that I had been hoping, but work took care of some of that for me. Also importantly I didn't have any feeling this week of having over-eaten, which is a frequent problem for me if I'm not careful. Now, today is probably not going to be exactly stellar for my track record in the realm of over-eating, but it's the 4th of July and I feel like I've planned ahead for it enough I should be alright.

This week is going to be a deviation from previous weeks in that it will involve a trip to Phoenix for some wedding planning and civic duty all rolled into one short trip through the state. Not sure what all that will have in store for me in terms of food and various activity, but I don't suspect I will have huge amounts of problems as a result of it as long as I keep on top of my eating.

Well, let's get to numbers shall we? Scale tells me this morning that I'm at 248, which is down 1.2 from last week. That puts me down just over 35 pounds since I started tracking my weight back in January. It's awesome to watch how all the little numbers slowly add up to big changes. While I may not have dropped as much by now as I originally thought I was going to, that's because the me that started along this path had nowhere near as much understanding of how hard it would actually be as the me that types this now. I never expected it to be easy, but he was a fool and thought the early losses would continue at near to the same rate until he wanted them to stop when he was at a better weight. I know better now. Losing this weight isn't easy, but it is worth every but of effort it takes, and I'm going to put in what I need to to get out the final results I want, no matter how long that takes.

Thanks to everyone who has been there for me with encouraging words, and helpful suggestions, through the past 6 months. I appreciate your support.
