It’s hard to keep a blog about weight loss when most of the time it’s just business as usual. Like I’ve said before…weight loss can be so boring! Unless you have a ‘conversion moment’ or you have a new loss. I’ve had both!
This past week I’ve come to the conclusion that my flagging motivation is my own damn fault. I’ve relied too heavily on other people to keep me motivated. Well…that just doesn’t work. I’ve found that out, and now…well I’m working on changing that. My workouts have been a lot better because of it. 
And I’m sure that my trainer is happy to hear me stop grumbling and whining. LOL
So, I’ve still dealing with the stupid weight thing. I go up and down like it’s no one’s business. For the longest time I was up and down between 290 and 287. As of late I haven’t hit 290 very often (yes, I’ve been weighing myself quite a lot actually…just to see what the pattern is, if there is one), so that’s good. On Wednesday morning, I hit a new low of 284! Then, a strange thing…that night I hit 283. So…I’m actually going for 284. That’s my new low. This morning I weighed in at 287…so, my thought its…if i can fluctuate between 287 and 284…then that means I’ve been losing weight. But, I’m running with the 284. I figure that I’ll always take the next lowest number as the true weight. So…I have now officially lost 21 pounds.
Alrighty…now for the better stuff. New measurements! This loss is counted from the last measurement taken on 8/25…with totals in parenthesis.
