FOUR STEPS FORWARD & ONLY ONE STEP BACK

Not a bad week….plus 0.8 pounds. I have really settled into this whole process.

When I first started it was two steps forward and one step back. It seemed a bit disappointing when I would lose weight for a couple of weeks and then gain weight the next. 

Now I am really comfortable with the process of gently dropping weight over time. So for me to lose 9.0 pounds in four weeks only to have gained 0.8 pounds this last week is not that big a deal. Maybe it was turkey day catching up with me. Losing 3.0 pounds last week after thanksgiving seemed like a miracle.

Besides it is all cold weather weight. What do I mean? It is too cold for my sensitive body to get out and walk. The ATX 100 group I belong to is going off the charts walking and exercising in the cold and or wet weather. I am going to have to buckle up and follow their lead.

And now it is time to hit the gym. I would much rather be walking along the town lake trail, but the treadmill at the gym will just have to do for now.

AND for now 0.8 gain is a draw and I will take it.
