Diet Update: Week 10

We've now made it to week 10. What is that--70 days of dieting? No wonder I'm getting tired of it. This was a strange week. MC's here now, and my routine is all shot to pieces. I've been eating food I don't normally eat, at times I don't normally eat it, and I haven't been able to be as good about weighing things as I'd like to be. Add in the stress of having a new baby, and you'd figure the situation would be ripe for some weight gain. I was planning on that, actually.



But because I was planning on that, I also ate less than I normally do. I exercised more. I was much more conscious about limiting things. And even with all of that, up until a few days ago, it looked like I would have lost about .6 pounds for the week. Not great, but nothing to sniff at, either.



Weight this morning? 195.8. That's 2.4 pounds lost since last week, making it my best week in a long time! My BMI is down to 25.1, meaning I'm .2 points away from officially being "normal" again. (I wonder if I can get that certified . . . )



I feel quite good, despite the fact that I haven't been sleeping well. The diet's doing what it's supposed to be doing, and I've been able to stick with it so far. I'm actually about 3 weeks ahead of schedule, give or take. So that's a good feeling.



Maybe this next week will catch up with me some. I'm not sure. But for now, I'll just keep doing what I'm doing. I definitely feel like I've lost weight, and I suppose I should--I'm up to 18.2 pounds gone. 17.8 to go, which means I've passed the halfway mark, too. A bunch of great milestones. So does that mean I'll be done in 10 more weeks? July 9th? Seems like a ways away, but who knows . . .
