11th Monday weigh in

I was all set to have a no loss week and stay at 245 when I stepped on the scale this am to see...

243

Total loss to date 27#'s. :)

Not too bad and I am overall happy with my diet and exercise. I keep finding ways that I can improve both but am still getting results at these levels so it's encouraging.

But I have been thinking about changing my attitude about loosing X pounds in a specific time frame because I'm not sure it's the best way to look at it. There have been times that I did not loose weight for X time and then suddenly drop a couple few #'s. I'm sure it's not a one day thing and that the efforts put in on those days that do not show any weight loss are very important to the day the scale does move. I've got no idea what other benchmarks to use and the idea has to be to keep the scale moving downward....it's just not as simple as saying 2#'s per week. It does average out like 2-3 but there is something unhealthy about feeling bad when you don't loose any weight one week however (everything is fine in that moment..the efforts are "working" just not showing up right then).

As always it's more to think about but the good news for today is that everything is still going according to plan and onward I go....
