209.4--Catching you up

So, just after the last post I joined Weight Watchers. Because of that I was able to go back to my Weight Watcher's file last Tuesday and record my weights since then. Thanks to fridge graph I was able to make you this handy dandy picture of my progress between then and now. The green line tracks my weigh-ins, the grey line is just the straight line from my weight at first weigh in to my weight at last Tuesday's weigh in.

Of course, progress is never as fast as I would like. You will note that in my last post that I wanted to be 210 by the holidays, and I'm just there now! I want a quick shedding of the weight, without willing to put in the work. Near the beginning of the graph there, you can see the spike for Thanksgiving and our trip. Strangely enough, Christmas was not a big issue for me, I lost over December. It did help that I don't remember a whole lot of parties associated with Christmas this year. Just the ward party I think. Anyway, then there was a slight uptick in January, less activity in the cold weather, combined with lots of warm food I'm sure. Then comes slightly down, slightly up, and so on in so forth. The first week in May we went on vacation, and I missed two Tuesdays. Then it was Election Day here in California, and since our site is a polling place, I missed a third Tuesday. After a month away, some of which were vacation days, yeah, it was a spike up!

What was really great was that with one week's strong effort I was back down, yipee.

I was disappointed in myself because I ate too much ice cream last Saturday, didn't pay too much attention to Sunday, and was up .6 on Tuesday. I'm very close to my weight watchers 10% (207) and was hoping to get it. Instead I was up, ugh!! There is always next week.
