Wednesday Weigh In (11)

So half of August is over and I feel like the month is pretty much a bust in the weight loss department.

School started back today and I definitely did not meet my goal of 25 over summer break. And I have to admit 20 more by October seems near impossible, but never say never!

For the past, two weeks I have not counted a single calorie (and I kind of liked it). That in itself might not be bad but I didn't make good decisions about what I ate during that time either. The good news, I bought a new weight set and I LOVE it. I am working on figuring out a routine but I love feeling sore after a good workout. But back to counting calories, I think I'm going to stop, at least for a week or two. I don't want to count calories for my entire life and I want this lifestyle change to be something I can do my entire life, just not sure I'm ready yet. I'm going to see what happens in the next week or two just making good choices and not logging them. I will use counting as a means to locate problems when I get stuck but for everyday I'm just not going to do it.

So what was the damage from the past two weeks: Down 1.2 pounds! While ideally I would have liked to lost 4 pounds, it's definitely not a total bust. That's 22 pounds since June 1, I really can't complain. I would love to have lost more over the last two weeks, but I didn't but in the work and I ate fast food nearly everyday, sometimes twice a day so I can't expect the results. I got back on track Monday and I am feeling sooo much better. 

Remember this!

You wouldn't put anything other than gas in it either!
