I have to rush off to work this morning, but I wanted to make sure I got this in. I did weigh in last week at 281. I wasn't sure if it would hold, but it did. It was crazy. I weighed in at 278 twice, but my scale was acting crazy. So then when I finally weighed in and it said 281, I really didn't want to believe it. So, by the time I got around to recording it for a solid weight, I never updated here.
Today is an important number.
I feel like I've been hovering at 285 for a long time (while not caring what I've eaten). More than the scale, my clothes were very, very uncomfortable - my fat clothes. To have my regular clothes feel better, I think I need to get to around 270/272. But, clearly it's going to take me a while. That will open up my wardrobe a bit.
So, I've dipped down to 282/283 before, but not 280. I feel like I might actually be making some sort of a dent, and I'm thrilled about that. Like maybe there's a possibility I could lose 10 more pounds. I am going on vacation in a week, so I'm a little nervous about what that will bring. But I'm not going to worry about it, since that's not going to get me anywhere.
I haven't really instituted exercise yet - not even walking. The fact that I've held on over the last few weeks is simply amazing. If I can manage my stress at work, and still continue on the path I'm on, I'll be pretty happy. We'll see. I'd love to be out of the 80s next weigh in.

Weigh In 282 (3rd Week In A Row)
The title says it all.
I'm 282 for the 3rd week in a row.
I didn't leave May under 280, which I was hoping for. In face, this 282 I'm stuck at isn't too much of a prize, since this is around where I've been hovering the past year (between 284 and 289). It's really frustrating. To be on spot a way higher percentage than I'm not and to just stay the same is always frustrating.
But I guess I'm maintaining, is the way to look at it. Maybe I was maintaining a slightly higher weight before. At this size, five pounds can still make a wee difference.
It's a lot of work to just maintain. Sad face.
I don't know what gets me. The next couple weeks will be telling, if I can stay on track. Last weekend I had too much beer, and too many "off menu" items, I would say. I need to see what a weekend without that brings me. I guess I'm glad to say that I'm back to where I was before last weekend (which was a 4-day weekend for me). But I'm not really glad. I'd like to have been down, obviously.
So. I'll take it as a reminder to me to stay on track this weekend. Tomorrow we have plans, so I know I'll go over calories, have a couple drinks. I just need to remind myself not to go too far away from what is working from me, and to know that going too far off also tends to lead to having to reset my taste buds again, which isn't fun.

Besides my weigh-in, I'm exhausted today. The work week has gone OK, but I'm ready to be done with this work week and turn my brain off of it for a bit.
