All I needed was .2 pounds. Two tenths of a pound. That's like a sneeze. I knew I could do it. I had a really difficult week and wasn't expecting a high number. As I took off my shoes and stepped on the scale I was just hoping for .2. When Linda, the receptionist got a big smile on her face I asked how much. 3.2!!! Say wha???? I lost the .2 and 3 pounds more!?!?! So I not only reached my 5% milestone today, but I got another 5lb milestone and am 2 pounds away from the next 5 lb! I have lost a total of 13 pounds and I am starting to see it, feel it, and believe that I can continue to do it.
My pants are fitting a little looser. I can see that my face is a little slimmer. It's easier to make healthier choices. Frighteningly, sweets just don't taste as awesome as they once did. And one of the best things is that I'm off one of my blood pressure meds! All last week I was feeling tired and my vision was all shifty and I just felt weird. I went to my doctor and it turns out that my blood pressure was too low! That hasn't happened ever, but really since being pregnant with Ellie my blood pressure has never been normal without help. I stopped one of my meds and I feel awesome. I still can't believe I lost 3.2 pounds this week. I've had ice cream and Halloween candy but very much within reason. The program is working and it's realistic. I really am gaining confidence that I can do this. 16 pounds by Thanksgiving really is attainable. Those guys at Weight Watchers know what they're talking about. Yup, I can do this!
