There it is. I'm down almost two pounds since last week which marked my monthly bloat. I am actually quite happy with this minor loss because we spent the long weekend on vacation/furniture buying trip in Portland, OR. We ate out at every meal although I was conscious about calories and food choices almost everywhere we went. I did have whatever I wanted on Valentine's Day for dinner, but didn't overeat.
Overall, I've lost over 9 pounds in one month. Everywhere you turn, healthy weight loss is listed at 8-10 pounds per month. I suppose that means I'm on the right track.
On a different note, I've been suffering with knee pain all weekend. This was my reason for losing weight in 2006, the hope of avoiding knee problems (and back problems) from carrying around all this excess weight. I injured my left knee several years back at work, and it is definitely resisting my current weight. For now, this is limiting my physical activity level, but I refuse to let this defeat me. I will put on a swimsuit and pay to go to the Y and swim three times a week if it comes to that. I am going to lose this weight.
That's it for now...how are you doing?

I would give anything for a 9 pound loss in one month! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing AWESOME!!! 8-10 is a great speed to lose weight.. anything from 1-2 pounds a week is to be expected... and you have been doing the high end of that, consistently.
ReplyDeleteI have lost 15 since Jan. 2... not quite as fast a rate but I am thrilled at my loss.
Don't give up exercising.. there are many things you can do on a mat or chair that will work out your body without stressing your knees. Or you could swim or doing water aerobics. You are an inspiration. I love watching your ongoing success. Keep it up!
