I'm happy that I finally achieved my weekly goal of a loss of 1 pound minimum. Met the goal the first 2 weeks of the year but then only lost a fraction of a pound, stayed the same and gained (1.2 pounds) for weeks 3 through 6. But after 7 full weeks of the year my total loss is 8 pounds, mostly from losing 5.4 pounds the first week. At least the average is meeting the goal. I'm feeling good that the pounds are coming off even if slower than ever - but then I am also slower than ever. I have really been working on taking longer walks and getting in more steps. I think I did 13,000 steps yesterday and similar for the 3 or 4 days before. Bobby is liking the longer walks but he is still licking his paw, between the 2 toes that had a tick, until it is red, swollen and raw. Waiting for the booties that I ordered from Amazon (thanks Katsolo for the suggestion)
I ordered the next size down on a pair of joggers. Hope they will fit, years ago I started a diet and ordered a pair of jeans that I thought would fit. They were so tight I couldn't get them up over my knees! Once they fit, I ordered the next size down, and when they fit ordered the next size down. Did that from size 14 (when I should have been in 16) to size 6. Settled in at a size 8 for several years. I'm hoping that will provide me with motivation again. It will take a couple more sizes to be close to a size 14 this time, sadly.
I'm having toasted rye bread today since I don't have to weigh myself until next Sunday. I lost weight this week in spite of the 2 days I had the toast with butter for breakfast and lunch. Right now I have the same way of thinking as when I did Weight Watchers many years ago. I remember going to meetings on Thursday nights after work, and then several of us going out to eat afterwards. We'd usually get a piece of pie or something bad. I wouldn't really follow the plan until after the weekend and by Thursday night I had lost weight. Don't really want to do that now, but it feels like I can take it easy for at least today.
