And the results are...



O Pounds.

The silver lining ...

Okay probably TMI, but it's that time of my cycle. I didn't think about this before I weighed in, but according to some articles I've read you can gain anywhere from 2 to 4 pounds during that week. So I suppose me not gaining any is a good sign.

Other successes so far in my journey:
  1. I feel pretty awesome. I'm not constantly out of breath walking to class.
  2. I had to buy smaller jeans this weekend (victory!)
  3. My resting heart rate is now at 80 bpm, which is at the top of the healthy range.
  4. My blood pressure is steadily going down. On the first reading it's always a little high sitting at 140ish/80, and on second readings it can go as low as 120/70.
  5. I haven't ONCE gone over my calories in the last 35+ days.
  6. I've consistently worked out at least 3 times a week, and I like it. How about them apples?
  7. I have tools now in understanding my body that I didn't have before.
While this morning wasn't a great weigh-in, it could have been worse. I don't ever feel guilty stepping on the scale, because I'm practicing honesty with myself every single day. Next week, I hope, will be better, and I'll see the scale start to move again. If it doesn't, I'll keep plugging along.
