On the move again...

So after my second stall that has lasted the last 2-3 weeks, my weight loss is on the move again. I am down 4 lbs in 3 days! These are the days I love! So as of this morning I am down 60 lbs since September 12th. I am down 8 lbs since this time last year when I was at my highest weight. When I first had my surgery, I set several mini goals of either 40, 30, or 20 lbs. My first mini goal was to lose 40 lbs by Halloween. I happen to hit a stall the week before Halloween & didn't meet my first mini goal when I wanted to, but I did hit it the week after. My second mini goal is to be down 70 lbs by New Years Eve. When I hit my second stall I figured I was destined to miss this one too, but maybe not! As of today I have 10 lbs to lose in 13 days in order to meet my second goal....if I keep up the weight loss pace of the last few days, I should be able to do it! I can't wait!

Scale addiction....

I have a love hate relationship with my scale. I love to get on it every single day hoping to see the numbers getting smaller & smaller. But when I am in a stall like right now, I hate seeing the same number for days on end. You would think that I would get tired of seeing that same number & stop getting on the scale, but NO, in a stall I usually find myself stepping on first thing in the morning & again before bed. Yes I know this is crazy, that I am becoming a scale addict, but I can't seem to help myself! Last week (Wednesday) I told myself I was only going to start weighing 2 times per week, on Thursday & Monday. But of course I found myself pulling out the scale everyday since Wednesday. So today is Monday & I still see 230 on the scale reading...can I make it until Thursday before stepping up to the scale again? I am really gonna try, but it is so dang hard!

Stalls stink!

I have hit my second stall...they are truly aggravating. I am down 56 pounds since my surgery & 79 since my highest weight earlier this year. Have I ever told you how much I hate exercise! It really sucks, but it has become a necessary evil. I have upped my walking from about 30 minutes a day to an hour, which means walking early in the morning or afterwork...essentially in the dark. I actually enjoy walking outside over doing an indoor video or walking on a treadmill at the gym, but doing so in 33 degree weather it not my preference.

Clay has decide he wants to join BAC with me, so now we can go together to the gym afterwork, which will be fun! I posted the picture below on facebook the weekend after Thanksgiving, but I wanted to go ahead & post it here for posterity!
