5 Pounds in 5 Weeks

It's Thursday.  Weight Watchers day.  And for the 5th straight week, I have lost weight!  C'mon, let's dance!  This is a time to celebrate.  I can't tell you the last time I had 5 straight weeks of weight loss.  I seriously want to dance, but I'm at the office and I think that might look a little weird.  But I'll be dancing when I get home tonight!  I'm sure my husband would love to see my little weight loss dance. 

For those of you who don't want to do the math, I'll do it for you.  This week was a weight loss of 0.6. 

I've decided to set a goal for next week's loss.  I want to lose more than a pound next week.  Why, you ask?  Well, because that will put me below 210.  Right now I'm at 211 exactly, so a loss of 1.2 or more and I'll be below 210 and that much closer to the Mendoza line.  (Ok, how many people know what the Mendoza line is?  It's a baseball reference.  And anyone who really knows me or knew me "back in the day", knows about me and baseball.)

As you know, at the beginning of the year, I set a goal for weight loss.  (I refuse to make resolutions.  I set goals.)  I said I wanted to lose 15 lbs, but I adjusted that to 17 as I was at 217 for my first WW weigh-in of 2013.  And you know that I've lost 5lbs in the past 5 weeks (it says so right there in the title), but my total for the year is 6lbs.  Yep, between Jan 3 and Feb. 28, I lost a total of 1 lb.  I can't remember what flipped the switch once March arrived, but I'm glad it flipped and I plan to stay focused and just keep moving forward / downward!
