I'd love to say I'm officially out of the 210's, but next weigh-in is the one that I know will go up a pound, so I don't want to get too excited just yet. But, I could not have been any more happy that the scale moved for yesterday's weigh-in, especially since this last weekend was my in-law's holiday get-together. We were really bad on our sodium all week, especially while out of town, and Friday was basically a grazing day with all the holiday food, so I was kind of expecting the worst. I also ate quite a few cookies on two different nights last week. For as many as I was baking, I could have done a lot worse I guess. I was doing really, really well in the beginning but I think I was hungry both times I sampled a few too many. And now I have a bunch of cookies for me thanks to the cookie swap and gifts from the in-laws. Thankfully they are all frozen, so I can eat them very sparingly over the next few months!
Our trip to see the husband's family went really well and several people commented about how good we look, which is so nice to hear when you feel like there is no difference. I know the scale is moving, so I am sure there are changes, but it's hard to tell. But, I went to Kohl's while we were visiting and I bought two new pairs of pants in a size 18! I was pleasantly shocked since the pair of 20's from Target still barely fit. When I compared the two, the 18's are actually about an inch smaller. Go figure. Either way, I'm looking forward to watching them become loose!
Last week I saw my doctor to get a yearly review of how things have been going. She didn't really do a review unfortunately, and according to their scale, I had only lost 1 more pound since seeing her in November. According to my info, I lost 4, but either way it left much to be desired. I mentioned to her that I gained like I always do around the middle of the month and then gained again 2 weeks later but her response was less than stellar: "now that you've lost a bit, you'll probably slow down to 1-2 pounds per month." In my opinion, that just doesn't seem right: 35 pounds down with 85 to go and I'm going to slow down?! Not if I can help it! I can see if I only had 30 to go, but not 85!
I have three more holiday parties to get through, one of which is mine and the other might not have much food, so I'm in the home stretch! Here's hoping I can get back to losing 2 pounds a week!
