At WI today, it showed I’ve lost 2.5 since Monday, which is a good loss.  However, when you compare it to my weight a week ago, I’ve lost 4.5 lbs. in one week, which is great.  So, I think my feeling that it’s going so slow is due in part to weighing twice a week and only seeing half of the progress at once.  Also, the previous week I sort of stalled out thanks to a horrible binge on the weekend.  This week’s weight loss was in spite of dinner out with friends (not a binge, but a fried fish sandwich and a cookie, so not too good) and a cookie incident at work.  I have dinner with the same group again tomorrow, but I’ll try to keep it as OP as possible, especially since I’m only 1/2 lb. away from 65, and I want to sign the 65 lb. board on Monday when I WI.

I also did a body fat analysis at my gym today.  According to that scale, I’ve lost 4 lbs. since my last WI (two weeks prior) and 2% body fat, which is good.  So, he said I’ve been building muscle but losing fat, which accounts for a little less showing up in pounds lost, so that could also be an explanation for sluggishness on the scale.

I had another good eating day today, and I think a big key is adding in that extra 1/2 bar after a workout because it prevents me from getting crazy hungry later.  I’m going to try to do that every day next week, and hopefully I’ll do even better than this week.

I couldn’t run today because my legs and hip flexors were killing me.  So, I did the elliptical, and then I calibrated my nike+ chip (This will be making an appearance on my “rewards” page later this weekend.) for my ipod, which, because I’m a dork and didn’t push the right button, I had to do twice, which meant I ran .5 miles and walked .25. 

Another milestone is my BMI– I’m now at 25, which is thisclose to being healthy/normal– woo hoo!  Maybe by Monday I’ll be “normal”- what a concept.  Also, today at Goodwill I found a pair of my favorite jeans that they don’t make anymore from Old Navy in a size 6!  I’m a size 8 right now, so I bought them so I would have something to try on ten pounds or so down the road.  I don’t have any size 6 jeans since I’ve never been there before, so I thought $5 was worth the investment, especially since I already know I like the style of the jeans.
