Well, after last night, I wasn't so sure how my weigh-in would be - so, I got up and bravely stepped on the scale, looked down and after one week with my new lifestyle, I'm down 4.2 pounds. Yeah! Monthly issues and all - 4.2 pounds. While I realize that my success each week is not going to necessarily show on the scale - this week it did, and it felt good. I was also amazed because every other time I've decided to watch what I was eating, I would schedule a cheat meal or day on the day I weighed in or the day after - not this time. I stepped off the scale, did a little victory dance, and got ready for the day.
4.2 down since my first official weigh-in of 2012
8.0 down since I started tracking my weight
17 left until my first goal of 25 pounds (by April 18th - my birthday)
This is a beautiful life. =)
