I had my first gain at WW this week. +.6 lbs, not much, but a gain, and definitely not what I was expecting, since I had been really working out trying to meet my goal of 230 or less by Valentines day. I haven't figured out what I did wrong yet, but I'm going to stay on program, keep working out, and hope everything works itself out. More later,

I had a much better weigh in tonight, I had lost 5 lbs from last week! That means to date, I have lost 37.8 lbs. I didn't work out as hard this week as I did last week, but I still racked up 17 activity points. If I want to get to 230 by the 14th, though, I'll have to crank it up a notch this coming week. I still have to lose 1.8 lbs to reach that goal. If not, I'll know I got pretty close, anyway.

This weekend I packed up all the clothes in my closet that are now too large. A whole trashbag full of stuff. I realized this week that although in my head I was saying, well, I wear a 22, I am actually wearing 20's, and in some cases, 18's. I guess I need to start wrapping my head around that fact that I am getting smaller, even though I don't feel a lot different.

I had to move my fiber arts blog. It now resides at http://theworkofherhands.wordpress.com I hope you'll pop on over and see what is going on in my life besides dieting or "lifestyle change" as it should be called.

See you next week!
