Weigh in

It occurred to me after Pete made a comment about losing 8 lbs in a week that one of the side effects of not blogging every day has been that I haven't always reported my weekly weigh-ins. Of course this is complicated by the fact that he can't add and /or subtract but nonetheless it may seem confusing at times.

I actually think that my weekly weigh-ins are fairly accurate and am not at all surprised that the longer and more I struggle with consistency in my eating habits, the less able my body is to adjust, resulting in faster gains and slower losses. I'm still OK with it and know I'm doing my best every day. I already know this is a life long struggle and I'm still up for it!

I weighed in at the Y this morning at 210.5 lbs, down .5 lbs from last weeks 211 and up 1.5 lbs from my 209 the week before. The 2 weeks before that I was 214 and 212 consecutively. This part's for you, Pete...214 to 212 to 209 is 5 lbs over 2 weeks, not 8 lbs over 1 week. It's very likely that I didn't report the 212 week but I still don't understand how you got to 8! By the way, it's quite possible for me to eat enough to gain 8 lbs in a week, and I'm pretty sure that I could do it week after week, but I'd rather not prove it to you!

Seriously, I am feeling better and stronger and more consistent than I have for months, emotionally even more than physically. The sunshine helps, especially when I make myself go out in it! Not every day is sunny inside or outside, but I can handle it as long as it's not every day. I'm eternally grateful for those of you who hang in with me, wherever I go.

Love, elly
