This morning I had a showdown with my scale. I was almost convinced that I had probably gained weight again and was 100% ready to freak out about how nothing works (I blame these feelings on the pair of pants that I busted through this weekend). After I recorded my numbers and compared them to last week I must say I am pleasantly surprised, and excited, that I have a loss in almost every place. I can't really see anything in my pictures, but if I compare this week to last week - I only lost 1 lb, so what do I expect to see?

Today marks the end of my first month on a planned diet and exercise plan. Here is a summary of my progress so far:

I am happy to see all green. I have made progress, small as it may be (1 lb per week). It's unfortunate that I only walked away 4 lbs lighter over a month when my very first week I lost 5 lbs. But it is still progress in the right direction, and more importantly I can definitely see progress in my pictures. Like the spill over on my hips and my tummy looking tighter. I also see some improved posture - that is always a plus. 

Well I have no reason to scold myself over this. It's a great result, even if its a lot slower progress then I expected. Onto bigger and better things in February!
