On a lighter note from the other day, I figured it was about time to check in regarding my Weight Watchers progress. It's been slow going, as my commitment varies from week to week. In the two months since I started (which included Christmas and New Year's), I've lost just over ten pounds. I have 6 left to meet my goal before my birthday, but we will be away for a week of it, so I'm not overly optimistic that I'll get there.
However, I have to say that I'm pretty proud of my progress. My clothes are fitting really well, and I'm feeling more comfortable with my body. So, I suppose those are the important things, not the number on the scale. For some reason, I didn't take my measurements until a month in, after I had lost over 5 pounds, so I'm not sure of the overall inches lost. But since January 24, I'm down an inch in my waist, 1 1/4 in. in my hips, 1/2 in. in my thighs, and 1/2 inch in my arms.
As I said, my level of commitment varies. Much of the time, I am extremely fatigued, so exercise is hard. I get in a few days some weeks, and none on others. One week, I lost easily because I didn't really feel like eating anything at all. Other weeks, like this one when I want to be an emotional eater, I crave sweets and junk food. At least I feel like I am finding a balance. Even if I can only lose one more pound, yet maintain where I am, I can honestly say I'm OK with that.
