One more pound lost… slow but steady. Total lost: 8 pounds; Pounds 2 Go for First Goal: 2; Pounds 2 Go for Ultimate Goal: 18.

This part of the scale has been the yo-yo ten pounds I’ve been batting around for about a year. I kept thinking if I kept my weight below 159, I’d be fine. So, I’d eat whatever and watch the scale climb to the dreaded Rubicon and then I’d kick in good eating habits temporarily and watch the dang numbers fall again to a more respectable number. Repeat cycle. Repeat cycle. Ad nauseum.

I am so sick of this ten pound span. This is it. This is the last time I see these numbers. Not only do I aim to get through this range, but I’ll stay well below it. I was inspired by Elle’s excitement to be at weights never acheived before. That’s what I want, too. So, “150’s,” you’ve been given fair warning. This is it. Soon, I won’t be seeing much of you ever again. We’ve had a decent arrangement, you and I, but it’s time I moved on to better places. I’m breaking up with you, 150’s.”
