Okay.

Today was weigh-in day.

I wasn't looking forward to it.

While the last week wasn't a terrible one, I knew I wasn't going to have a stellar weigh in. All week, the number on the scale bounced up and down .... up an down ... there was not much consistency from day to day.

So, luck of the draw this morning put me at 183.2. That is actually up one pound from last Tuesday's 182.2. But still at an overall weight loss of 6.3 pounds.

I also did measurements this morning. I haven't done those since January 22. I think it was the Gold's Gym website that said to check neck, waist, stomach, and hips - so those are the 4 I am keeping track of.

Between the first time I checked (which off hand I don't know what the date was) and Jan 22, I had lost several inches in more than one area. (I don't have the papers in front of me to be more specific, sorry!)

Between January 22 and today (February 8) the only one that changed was the hip measurement; which was down 1/2 inch.

It is very easy to want to feel disappointed. But, I have a clear enough head on my shoulders to know there are going to weeks where the progress is not immediately visiable in the numbers. I know that plateaus are easy to hit, and maybe it is time to switch things up a bit. And I can look forward with hopes of a big week next week!
