Pounds2Go: 42.5 (-1.0 lb from previous P2G)
I’ve lost it! That half-pound booger is GONE. He’s gonna stay gone this time, too.
I had a horrible weekend - well I should say Saturday & Sunday the scale was not nice to me at all and I got angry and frustrated. I decided yesterday that I would do my damndest to stick to it, I am tired of yoyo’ing every week. Steady loss through the week, instant gain on the weekend, never changing - fluctuating between the same 5-7 pounds for the last 9 months.
I didn’t exercise, although we did go out on Saturday and walked around to watch the eagles for a couple of hours, it was a leisurely stroll and I don’t really count that as a specific and targeted workout. I overate, exceeded 1500 cals, didn’t drink all my water, didn’t check in - I totally fluffed Saturday and paid for it Sunday. So, I have this 6 day mini-makeover plan, and I’m doing it. It’s a pain in the butt, frankly, but my butt is wide enough to carry the load. ha!
The great news, I increased my water intake by 30 ounces. Now up to 80+ ounces and going to hit 100 ounces today and stay there. I’ll just be adding “Depends” to my grocery list.
More great news, I swam 1/4 mile today, and the blister is almost gone.
Even better, I’m down a pound through my fluctuating and frustrating weekend, and once I lose 1 more pound, I’ve met the goal I set for myself for last Saturday.
I’d like to hit another specific target by my birthday (6 days away), but I’m trying not to be an over-achiever. If I don’t hit my target I’ll get angry and depressed, and then everyone around me will have to deal with my cranky-butt on my birthday.
So here’s my over-achieving target - 10.5 lbs. in 9 days.
My realistic target - 5.5 lbs. in 9 days.
We’ll see where I end up!

Yeah! The half pound booger is gone!!
Oh and I like the little mini targets you are setting for yourself. I think I may do that.

You mean that you want to lose 10.5 pounds in 9 days? :jawdrop: That would be a lot. Don’t push yourself too hard.

Good job with your half pound! I also think it’s smart to have both the “reach for the stars” and the “can attain” goal list. It really can be very discouraging to never hit a goal. Realisitc goals are the way to go.
(And yey for a birthday coming up!! You deserve a special treatment soon. Soak in all the love you get, girlie!)

Congrats on your loss! Weekends are a challenge for many, I think.
