Okay, so for all my whining, I ended my week doing really very well this week.  I lost a total of 1.8 pounds.  The crazy thing is it ALL came off last night!  (If you’re Sherlock Homes you will deduce that if I know I lost 1.8 pounds last night I must be weighing myself more than once a week).  I’ve confessed this before, and I know I’m not suppose to, but I just can’t help myself.  I’ve weighed myself every morning for most of my life. (These are habits you pick up when you are raised in an overweight family.)  It is part of my morning ritual and helps set the game plan for the day.  Anyway, I do realize that doing this also created the madness I was feeling earlier in the week.  If you’re just burning to tell me I shouldn’t weigh myself daily, I’m open to hearing your comments, but I’m not sure this habit will be easily broken. 

Here’s the good news, I have just 1.2 pounds to go before I hit the 20 pound mark on NS, and I’ve lost a total of 4.25 inches around my waist!  I should be able to hit my 20 pound mini-goal before Thanksgiving.  I will have a lot to be thankful for this year!  Speaking for being thankful, I thought it was interesting that today’s “The Daily Dose” was all about our support systems and how they cheer us on in good times and can be really helpful when we are struggling.  Let me thank once again all the wonderful people I have met thought this community and a special thank you for the folks who have spent the extra time to connect with me and give me a cheer or kick as they saw fit!  Have a great day, ALL!
