WHOOHOO!  I lost 1.7 pounds this week!  I’m not quite back to where I was before I started gaining (need to lose 0.7 lbs more to get to where I was), but I’m exactly one pound away from having lost 150 pounds.  Let me tell you, there will be a celebration at my house on that day, as well as an update to the Blue Shirt Comparison picture.  Maybe next week?  I’m afraid to be too hopeful, though.  For today, I’m pretty darn happy.

I think that has been part of my problem.  The novelty of the weight loss had worn off and I was left with just the struggling.  I think I need to rediscover that newness and excitement.  I used to look forward to my weigh-ins every Tuesday.  I need to find a way to make that happen again.  Perhaps this loss is what I needed to push me in the right direction.
