Weigh In | 7.12.10

July 12, 2010

I haven’t posted a weigh in since June 16th when I had a 6 pound GAIN. I was so upset, but it got me to the doctor who got me on medicine for my pitting edema, and also for some lab tests. I’m still waiting on the 2nd set of lab tests to come back that I had on July 3 after some red flags from the original testing.

My husband did great with hiding the scale, but I had decided I would weigh today. I put myself in a different mind set. If I didn’t lose weight, it was okay. I know I’m making progress with my fitness. I know my measurements are going down. I know I’m still retaining a little bit of water. I know I’m not getting nearly enough sleep at night. I made peace with that before I stepped on the scale.

391.

The week before my 6 pound gain, I was at 394. So, this is a net loss of 3 pounds. Total of 64 pounds gone so far.

I’ll take it. I’ll take it and run with it. The scale is going back into hiding for 2 more weeks.

    Three pounds GONE!! Way to goooo! That's like 12 sticks of butter! It can be frustrating, but you just have to keep trusting the process and making good choices! My Boot Camp Drill Instructor always tells me that fitness is a journey, not a destination! :)
