Week In Review

I'll be perfectly honest and tell you that I'm reporting on the weight that I logged on Friday morning. We left town Friday afternoon for the wedding and I didn't get home until this afternoon. I'm quite certain that with the amount of champagne I drank and the cake I allowed myself, my weight is probably up slightly. But, I hit a number on Friday and I'm going with it! I ended up losing 1.6 pounds this past week which thrills me to death! And just as exciting as that is the fact that I'm getting super close to the 20 pound loss mark. I'm only about a half pound away, so I'm expecting to hit it this week or next! That is big news for a couple reasons. First off, it's 20 pounds! Back in my Weight Watcher days I used to kind of "check" to see how much weight I had lost from week to week. After my first 5 pounds, I grabbed a bag of sugar and carried it around for a while. After 10 pounds I think I grabbed 2 bags. For 20 pounds, it was a large bag of dog food. It's really surprising just how much 20 pounds weighs. And after this last .4 pounds, I'm not carrying it around any longer! Secondly, I'm at a weight that I haven't been at since I left Weight Watchers. I am proving that I in fact CAN do it on my own! I'm also very happy to report that the bridesmaid dress was actually a little big on me! Not big enough to fall off, but big enough that I found myself adjusting it throughout the night. It was a problem that I was pretty happy to have. :-) I hope everyone else had a fabulous weekend!
