down? really???

I don't know how I did it, but when I went for weigh-in this morning I was down 1.6 pounds. Seriously, I have no idea how that can be. I ate horribly (PMSing and chocolate), and I hardly exercised at all (the AFTER PMSing....). It made for a crappy two weeks, but apparently not crappy enough. I thought for sure that I would have gained. I am glad though that it was a loss. It re-motivates me. Although this next two weeks will be tricky...it's our famiy's campout (yay, Dutch Oven cooking!!!) and Youth Conference. Hopefully I will be good on all the other days and still get a good result.

I am officially 6 pounds away from my goal weight. The goal that I have had for YEARS! You know, to get back to the weight that I was in HIGH SCHOOL! How sad is that? And it isn't even that LOW of a weight. Technically I should be lower. Oh well, baby steps! If I reach this goal before Jonathan's birthday then that will mean that I have lost 50 pounds in 6 years. Crazy huh? The 50 pounds part, or the 6 years part??? Either way, it will be a new era for me and I am thrilled. I still will not be the SIZE that I was in high school (also not a low thing), but I am working on toning up the areas that stretched out to carry babies and have not gotten their flatness back yet.

WOW! SO I just realized this is a long post all about my dorky body. Sorry. I guess I was just so excited that I went on a rant. :]

I can never understand how that happens either, but am always glad when it does. Keep up the good work.

That's awesome! I have no doubt that you'll reach your goal. Doesn't it seem funny that on the weeks that you think you're going to gain, you don't. But then the weeks that you work your butt off at the gym and eat perfectly, you do. What's up with that?

Way to go, keep up the good work. I too am trying to get back to my high school weight, but I don't have having kids as an excuse. :)

I hope to have a post like this very soon.

And when I do, it will be very long.
