I am trying a new workout program now, and so far I am blown-away thrilled with it. They recommend measuring instead of weighing, so that is what I have done.
I lost 12 1/2 inches this week! Yahoo! I know that sounds crazy, but it is actually true. It has been an encouraging week to say the least.
I just put today's weight into my tracking software. I lost 2.5 pounds between 3/10 and 3/16. One thing I noticed while I was traveling is that I could be satisfied with a lot less food than I thought. Hopefully I can carry that new habit forward with me in real life. So far so good today.

My weight is definitely up from my Kauai vacation but I'm waiting to see how much of that is fluid so I can see how much real gain exists. My weight is up much more than I expected--OTOH, I did not take my Dyazide on travel day so the fluid build-up could be considerable. Still, I expect the net gain to still be a few pounds, which depresses me but hey, I will survive. I had a HORRIBLE day of eating the day I got home because I was so tired and didn't push myself to go to the grocery store and, as a result, ate all junk/take-out that day. I walked to the store yesterday so I combined exercise and getting fresh air with getting some fresh and healthy food back in the house.

I'm gonna go ahead and call that a victory, since I had a minivacation this weekend in the Catskills and did a lot of eating out. I was expecting to be up due to all the salt. Guess all the skiing and hiking balanced out the eating.

I don't have access to a scale today, but I have high hopes after almost a week of walking all the time and not eating much -- though I did get quite a few calories from alcohol. I'll let you know.
