In Week 5, I lost 1.4 pounds for a total of 12.6 pounds lost.
In Week 6, I lost 1.8 pounds for a total of 14.4 pounds lost.
In Week 7, I didn't weigh in because it was Thanksgiving.
For the past two weeks, I have been packing, lifting boxes, unpacking, and cleaning. I wish I could tell you I had a wonderfully pleasant attitude throughout the whole process, but I didn't. I hate moving with every fiber of my being. However, I took great consolation in the fact that with all the extra work, I must ReAlLy be losing weight. In fact, I told Shad on several occasions, when I was particularly cranky, "I better be losing weight because I'm working my butt off." (Pardon my strong language.)
Yesterday, when I went to weigh in, I was excited. Finally, after two weeks of hard work, I was going to see a pay off. I was expecting 5 pounds, I did work my butt off after all.
I stood on the scale and awaited my prize...1.8 pounds lost. ArE YoU KiDdInG Me!!! I worked my butt off, and 1.8 pounds is barely a pinky toe! I sulked out of the doctor's office, and pouted the whole way home.
I know it's my own fault for setting my expectations too high, but c'mon that's all I got for all the work I've done!?! I didn't even go nuts on Thanksgiving. As I write this, it's all still a little raw. Can you tell? I guess I went a little overboard with the exclamation points. Well, there's always next week. (Did that sound sincere?)
Week 8 - (a measly) 1.8 pounds
Total Weight Loss 16.2 pounds
With all that working, packing, lifting, etc. there must be some muscle build up & muscle weighs more than fat. So there's your reason. Good job. Love you #3s#1
