The scale is moving in the right direction
General January 5th, 2009The scale is moving in the right direction. Although I step on the little bugger every morning, I really consider my Monday weigh-ins the official ones, as day-to-day weights fluctuate quite a bit.
My last Monday I was on my home scale was 3 weeks ago, and today’s weight (which has been pretty consistent these past few days) was a whole 3 pounds lighter! That’s a pound a week over the Holidays, folks! A pound a week while home with the parental and family obligations. Restaurant meals all the time. Mexican food about every other day. Making cookies. Eating cookies. Pie. Stone Cold Creamery ice cream. Coming home to Paris. Eating a rich and wonderful truffle soup. Eating my pastries this weekend.
Yes, if I can eat like this and lose a pound a week, we’re not doing to poorly.
In addition, I’m really hoping I can keep up the momentum in coming weeks - I am down 9 pounds since November right now, and really would like that to be a nice double digit soon.

Wow! I think you’re on to something, there! Great job! Now, if I could just manage to eat what I like - in moderation - I’d have this whole thing conquered, too! Happy new year to you, Round, and keep up the good work!
Best,
Z

Thank you so much for your comment! It’s wonderful to know that there are people out there supporting each other in their journey. Thank you so much for the suggestion regarding blogging 3x per week at first. Right before I read it, I was obsessing over whether I’d get to it today.
Congrats on your 3lb achievement!

Hey chick! Thanks for the comments on my hair. I’ve been blonde for about 12 years. I recently decided to go darker, and I’ve been torn as to whether or not I like it.
I love how you’re still talking about that truffle soup. If you get a chance, can you box it up and ship it to me?
:) 
CONGRATS on the 9-lb loss. You’re definitely an inspiration. Keep it up!

Good job. To think, I never thought I could lose weight eating those foods. lol. Thanks for the comment on my post. I always manage to lose rather easily over the holidays for some reason…it’s the rest of the year that I need to worry about.

Great job!

That it fantastic. Not only on moving the scale in the right direction, but moving it down over the holidays. That was something I managed in 2007 but not in 2008. Congrats!

I admire that you’re able to lose weight living in the food mecca. Just the thought of meals in Paris - ah! I would gain weight from baked delights, that’s all I would eat - forever. I’d marry a pastry chef too. Forget my construction guy!
