Weekly Weigh-in #2

It's Tuesday, which means it's time to come clean with what the scale had to say this morning.  As I mentioned in my Weekly Chase post yesterday, I logged my calories with My Fitness Pal 6 of the past 7 days, but I was over my allotted calories everyday (until yesterday).  I really wanted to eat something last night while watching a movie with the family, but I resisted.  My goal this week is to not only log my calories, but stay within my allotted calories each day.

Starting weight on 6/3/14:  151.4 pounds

Last week's weight:  149.8 pounds

Today's weight:  149.2 pounds

This week's loss:  -0.6 pounds

Overall loss:  -2.2 pounds

Goal weight:  120 pounds

Pounds to go:  29.2 pounds

While technically I had a loss this week, I know that if I had been more consistent in staying within my calorie goal each day, I could have lost more.

Last night when I wanted to eat, but didn't, I mentally told myself that it was like a half marathon.  Sometimes I will feel as though I just want to give up, but I don't because I want the medal.  Achieving my weight loss goals is like the medal at the end of the race.  And the only way that I get that medal is by perservering and finishing the "race."  I can't quit when it gets hard if I want to cross that finish line.  

This week will be a challenge as we will be traveling to Seattle.  Eating out for every meal is difficult, but not a reason to quit.  The good thing is that it will be an active trip - from running RnR Seattle, to all the walking we will be doing around town.

I hope you have a great week and that you reach all of your weight loss goals!

How did you do with weight loss this week?
