Weigh In Day, Week 6

Staring weight: 270
Current weight: 258.4
Total pounds lost: 11.6

Ouch.  Only a .4 change from last week?  That sucks.  I wasn't entirely surprised though.  I did very well workout and eating wise last week, but on Friday night I made the decision to go out with my girlfriends and I ended up drinking quite a bit.  In fact, I got pretty drunk.  It was not the smartest decision, especially considering I had my weigh-in the next morning but I still did it and I did have a blast.  I think my lack of results this week stems diurectly from my alcohol consumption from the night before.  I did everything else right the entire week, so I don't think it would have turned out the same had I not gone drinking.  Knowing that keeps me from being too disappointed.  I am still doing well and I have consistently lost weight every week since beginning this journey.  I can live with that.

It's a new week now and I fully intend to stay on track with my exercise and eating.  There is no official weigh-in this weekend but I will still act as if there is.  Slacking off is not an option.  I am now a full month into the competition and I am proud of my results so far.  There are people who are doing far better than me, but there are also those doing worse.  I am just trying to focus on me right now.  I have lost 2 pants sizes.  I am feeling more energized and happier.  I am treating my body better.  I am changing my life.  I am proud of myself for not letting a less than stellar weigh-in hold me back.  I can think of many times when I have let something deter me from my goals, but this time is different.  I am 100% committed to this and I plan on keeping it that way.
