First things first, down 1.2 pounds, not bad considering I really didn't do much this week. I let the frustration take over and didn't go to the gym all week and ate just about anything I wanted. I still ate my salads and not much sweets, but this would rate as a poor week in the diet and exercise portion of life.
I did go to the doctor and voice my frustration level with the slowness of the weight loss. He ran some blood test and everything came back normal. He gave me some medication for my hormone levels and said that it may help with the weight loss as well. I go back in a month to see if I'm getting better. On a good note he also said that 1 pound a week is what he likes to see in a weight loss program. Any more than then that comes back quickly if you go back to your old ways. So I guess I'm doing ok even though it seems really slow, I must keep telling myself that slow and steady wins the race.
I would like to have my goal loss to be 52 pounds, even though I have a 100+ that I want to loose I see now that for this year it is not a reasonable goal. If I stick with the plan and loose the 1 pound a week then I will meet my goal by the end of the year. Then the last 48 pounds will come off in 2009. I will just have to be on the 2 year plan.
Have a great weekend.
