So happy with today's weigh-in! Last week when I had the flu, the scale hit the 216's and I figured once I started eating and drinking again, it would definitely shoot back up. It did and how today's weigh-in was so good, I'll never know. Throughout the week the scale was saying around 218 pretty consistently which bummed me out. While I was sick and knew the numbers were reflecting that, I really liked seeing 216, so I am super excited it came back!
I looked back at an old paper I wrote for a behavioral psych class in 2002 in which we did a behavioral modification. I chose to focus on myself and incorporate a healthier diet and began drinking water for probably the first time in my life. (I lived in a schoolhouse built in the 1870's and our well meant really smelly water.) While I don't have many records of my weight throughout my life, I do know that in January 2002, I wrote that I weighed 218 pounds. To be at a number I haven't seen in 9 years is crazy! For the experiment, I ended up losing 19 pounds in 12 weeks. Considering I lose an average of 1.5 pounds per week, I might not beat that number, but I sure am going to try!
