shhh....I don't want to say it too loud, because it might go away...but...today...the scale STOPPED before getting to the 180's. Yep. 179. I haven't been in the 170's since 2004!.
You know how a digital bathroom scale always bounces around the numbers before it actually stops on today's weight? Well, the last few days, the 178s and 179s have been showing up in the numbers show. (I was excited that the scale was even THINKING about the 170s.) Today it settled on 179 Whoot, whoot!
Remember I said I usually have a 20 pound range that I bounce around in? For the last few years my range has been 180 to 200. After last Christmas, I was at 200. I did an loose Atkins-type diet from January to March trying to get below last year's weight for my health screening at work. (If we don't meet a certain health score, we are not eligible for the lowest priced health insurance. Weight and waist circumference play into it.) On that diet, I went from 200 to 187, lost another pound over the next month, and then in May, on vacation, I gained 5 pounds back. You see what I mean, when I say I bounced around in the range? It was in June, when I was around 192 that I visited Bo and decided to give her Empower Foods plan a try. That was LESS than one month ago!
I feel VERY empowered to have broken through the bottom of my 20-pound range! It is very encouraging and motivates me to keep on. Thanks Bo!
Edited to add: This success comes after a week with 1) 4th of July potluck at church, 2) wedding on Monday AND 3) wedding on Friday! It helps to keep a bar and a proticinno drink in my purse when I go to functions. It's nice to have something sweet to eat or drink while everyone is eating wedding cake.
