Five Week Weigh-In
Weighed in this morning and I’m down to 193.8. So I’ve lost 14 pounds in 5 weeks bringing my weekly average loss to 2.8 pounds.
But I only lost ONE POUND this week. ONE POUND. I simply can’t believe it. I know that this is totally normal — I’ve never lost in a “straight line”. I have a weekly record of how I previously lost weight and there would occasionally be weeks when I would lose very little (or even gain — ack!) followed by weeks where I lost quite a bit. But logic aside, it is like a physical blow to see only a 1 pound loss when I’ve worked so hard this week. I’ve been PERFECTLY on-plan, followed my training schedule to a T, and counted every single calorie I put in my mouth. How can the scale cheat me out of a better number reflecting all that hard work? I don’t know. I really don’t.
My body (and that damn scale) is TRULY a mystery!
I really like your blog - tone, layout, pics all are great. Plus your progress these past few weeks is really inspiring!
AMAZING loss so far! And *only* a pound… keep up your hard work, it will keep showing on the scale!!!
Am totally impressed with your loss so far! I thought I was doing well with 7 lbs in 5 weeks! (well, I AM doing well, but you know what I mean…)
