So this morning I weighed 129.5 pounds. What? Don’t get me wrong – I’m happy – it’s closer to my goal. But my goal was also to lose 1-2 pounds a week…. So what’s up? I asked Austin – my husband – as he’s been a huge help, and he said weight fluctuates, don’t worry, etc. We decided if my weight was down again tomorrow we’d up my calorie intake and see what happens. I just really want to lose this the right way and while I feel completely satisfied by how much food I’m eating I still worry that this seems like too much too fast. We thought about it some more and I think that Monday’s weight (136 pounds) was inflated as I’d been on Labor Day vacation (3 days at the beach) and had eaten bad, drank a lot, etc. (and had weighed 131.5 the Monday before) so I think the 133 the next day was a bit more accurate… but even still that’s 3.5 pounds in 6 days which is faster than I want to lose… SIGH. I just don’t know what to think – it’s very bittersweet to get this weight so soon!! Help!

Sadly, it's been a long time since I've lost weight like that.
But back when I was doing cardio hard core and really eating right~the same thing would happen to me. So it's really not that unusual. It's like I wouldn't lose anything for a week or two and then: BAM!
So enjoy it and congrats! :)
I'm sorry, mom... I really kind of do think it's a fluke for me though! Either that or i've been eating BAD because my cardio/strength training has stayed strong.... hmmm. Good to know it's not too unusual though. Of course I enjoyed it too much and made two bad choices today that cost me lots of calories. boo :( I'm getting back on tomorrow though! :)Thanks!
