Turning a corner

First of all I have to say thanks to all who have been sending words of encouragement. It is amazing to me how one little pound can have such a dramatic effect. In the beginning a put that pound into perspective ( when I lost it ) as 4 sticks of butter. Now I can not seem to put it in perspective going the other way. I really have not done that great this week and am afraid that last weeks 1 pound may be another one this week for a total of two and going in the wrong direction. I have not gone completely off kilter. I have missed writing some stuff down. I have used some flex points but I have not gone on a complete binge or anything. Still drinking plenty of water, etc. My biggest issue is my mind set. I am 70 some odd days into this and searching a bit. I know I have victories that do not involve the scale I just need to find a way to move beyond this. Now is the time to do so.........I have to keep my favorite quote in mind"

"A setback is a set up of a come back."

Here I come..............

Perspective

After having a great week I weighed in yesterday and only lost 0.2 lbs!!! I have to admit, I was pretty upset about it. In fact I did not even write anything down n my tracker yesterday. I did not go on a binge, but felt really bad because I was sure I had a good week. I wrote everything down and really did well staying on plan. After crying over my spilled milk I tried to find something positive and decided to measure myself. I measured my chest, waist, arms, wrist and thighs when I started. I found that in three weeks I have lost about 2 inches off of my waist, an inch and a half off of my chest and half inch off of my arms. I guess that is an NSV(non scale victory). I posted some thoughts and questions on the WW site and was happy to find some really good support. I really need to get the exercise going. I am committed to making that happen.......if I can move. My wife and I went bowling for our date ( got to be worth some activity points?). I have not bowled in 20 years and I used muscles I have not used in 20 years ( at least it feels that way)..... Not going on the pro bowling tour any time soon.... best score........ 123!!!!!!!!!!
