5 pounds gone.

I lost five pounds in the month of July. Pretty good, I would have to say. and it got me thinking. If I lost 5lbs a month for a year, that would be -60 lbs and that would be FANTASTIC. Also, It didnt take very much for me to lose that 5 lbs, so it should be pretty easy for me to keep it up and off. the one main key I have seen in the last two months is that I have cut out MILK in mostly everything. I used to get non fat mochas almost daily, and then I realized that is a shit ton of milk! So i switched it up to an Americano with a little bit of cream and two raw sugars... and it has worked very well. While I still splurge here and there and get either a mocha or a latte, its a great alternative. I think it's just about finding a HEALTHIER alternative to things.

GAR!

I am very discouraged. Maybe it's because I stepped on the scale today only to find that I have not lost any weight. But maybe it is because I went to my son's boy scout camp for 2 days, hiked well over 7 miles in that day, am super sore, bitchy, and THEN found out that I havent lost any weight. I KNOW muscle weighs more than fat, and that's usually what I build up first, but Man... it is so hard to not feel depressed over that NUMBER. that's all it is a stupid fucking number. IT's not the fact that I have been feeling great, phsyically. Its not about how my clothes are fitting a lot looser lately. Its about that fucking number and that drives me insane. Thanks for listening.

Weight Scale Victory!

I stepped on the scale today... and..... I have lost 2 pounds! I am so happy about this!!!! I know that you develop muscle and it weighs more than fat, so I wasnt expecting a huge drop in numbers, but I am very happy with 2. I know in the past when I have gone on exercise routines, that I gain a massive amount of muscle. So it doesnt seem like I am losing any weight when I am just gaining, but I can feel it in my body and the way my clothes fit.

but, YAY!
