7/7/10

Oops, I gained some weight this week (1.2 lbs)! How is your diet going? Getting discouraged? Here’s a little “secret”: persevere. Yes, I know; it sounds simplistic. But, as you can see by my numbers below; overall, I’ve lost 28.2 pounds since I started this diet thing.

Which goes to prove: even if you have some “up” weeks, if you persevere, you will lose weight in the long run. Have patience, and don’t get discouraged if you slip up once in a while.

As a matter of fact, I’ve had 10 weeks of weight gain this year! It’s the 17 weeks of weight loss (or neutrality) that make all this hard work worthwhile.

Lesson for the week: perseverance is key. Keep track of your calories and exercise, then if you have a bad week, find ways to improve your numbers–and lose weight–the next week.

See you next week; hopefully a little lighter and a lot happier…

This week’s temporarily disappointing numbers:
