Okay, okay, so it's not that bad. I'm starting to think I'm lying to myself. All last week I said "if I just lose one pound next week I'll be happy". Well, I lost 1.8 lbs. and I'm a tad disappointed.
Intellectually, I know I'm being ridiculous. I have lost 12.8 lbs. in 4 weeks which is fantastic. However, I wanted to have another huge loss this week after being last week's champion.
My hubby pointed out to me that I got through Superbowl Sunday and still lost weight. My friend and co-worker S.C. pointed out that I've been working out every day and that means I'm building muscle which weighs more than fat. I can see the difference in my body with my own two eyes, yet still, disappointed.
I know it's not the winning thing because I am thrilled for my friend D.M. who dropped 3.6 lbs. this week. I had honest, encouraging words for T.D. who gained a little bit because she was off on a tropical adventure last week. Am I too hard on myself? Do I set unrealistic goals? Not sure. But if I don't lose two pounds next week.......there's going to be hell to pay! ; )
Til next time.

1.8 is AWESOME!!! Slow N Steady wins the race - remember! And yeah - Superbowl weekend - and still a loss!?!? You're down over 12 pounds! You notice a difference in your body!!
I say - SUCCESS!!
We still have...er...sorry, I'm bad at math...a whole "bunch" of weeks left.
And thank ye for the kind words! In truth - I was merely only making up for what I *didn't* lose last week!
Getting sick of water...sick of grapefruit for breakfast...but - we're in it (to win it).
Come on - knowing you, this disappointment you feel will only fuel you to kick even MORE ass next week.
This contest is seriously the greatest.
