Looking back, my head was full of stupid excused that were not valid. Well, I can't go back and change it so I am going forward. Faced the scale this morning. Only up 1 lb. I can handle that. I had it coming! So, back to tracking!

Impersonal isn't working for me. Weight loss is personal. I think I have always known this, but Jillian seems to be throwing it in my face as I watch Biggest Loser and read Master Your Metabolism.

Down 10.4. Yeah! I know some of that was junk my body was holding onto from vacation but I'll take it. It feels good to be going in the right direction. Just shy of 5%.

While this is NOT the case, I can see why he thinks this.

It was an awesome week.In coming clean, I feel like I have lost control the past two days. I can't really tell you why but I am figuring emotional eating and throwing caution to the wind when I eat something that I hadn't planned on.Luckily, I had all my WPAs.

I stayed on track this week, but I was on track the week before too. I didn't do much different. I think just the ebb and flow of losing weight.So I have surpassed the 25 lbs lost mark! Yeah!

I don't worry about then being a perfect fit. I usually worry more about the price.
