I wasn’t able to get to my normal Wednesday Weigh-in post yesterday, so here it is a day late. Last week I had one of those weird weeks where my weight constantly fluctuated up and down as much as 1.5 lbs each day. I’d be down a pound one day, up a pound and a half the next, down a pound again…it was annoying. Consequently I lost only 1.6 lbs this week, which was much less than my goal, since I have to be down another few pounds to make my BMI requirement before my physical next Wednesday. I’m sure it has something to do with water retention and other factors, because between my diet and the heavy exercise, I know I didn’t just burn a pound and a half of fat last week. Case in point, this morning I was down another 1.2 lbs, which put me at 286.6. That’s still only 2.8 lbs in eight days, but it’s more encouraging and puts my goal within reach.

On an even more encouraging note, 286.6 puts me at exactly 35 lbs lost since I started. Woo hoo! As my trainer regularly says, “I’m seeing less and less of you every day.”
