Weigh-In Week 14

234! That’s what it said on the scale this morning. A loss of 2.4 lbs.! And 14 straight weeks of loss.

I feel really good about this week. Over the last two weeks I have finally settled in to a way of life that feels sustainable. I’m obsessing less over what I eat. I still track my calories everyday, but I don’t feel like I need to be so uptight about what I eat. I have come to a point where this is my regular diet vs. being on a diet. My body knows what it needs now. And exercise has started to become more routine. Less of a chore and more just part of my every day. Let’s hope I didn’t just jinx myself by talking about it.

I realized this morning that this is very close to the weight where I first started thinking I needed to lose weight. My first major push to drop a few pounds came during the year leading up to my wedding, which would have been 8 years ago. It’s amazing that I have accomplished in 6 months what I have been trying to do for 8 years. And it’s all because of the help and support I get from you guys! Thank you.

Another thing I realized this morning, those large white t-shirts are starting to fit pretty comfortably. Unfortunately, my only remaining pair of jeans are starting get a little big. May have to hit the outlet mall this weekend.

As for the quantity of white t-shirts I own, I only have 4. I use my daughters Pip Squeak Washable Markers to write the number on and wash the shirt each week. Sorry to  destroy the illusion.

Have a great weekend everybody.
