Broke 300... and Then Stalled!!!

 One of my first real big milestones happened this past week. I crossed out of the 300s into the 200s. It has been a while since I have seen a three digit number starting with a 2. That was a nice momentum booster. Then came the stall I have been dreading. For the past five days I have weighed the exact same amount. I am not letting it get me down, but can't wait to see just a bit of movement downward again soon. 

Despite the fact that the scale hasn't moved, clothes are now feeling looser. I wore a pair of pants to church yesterday that had been borderline too tight that were now on the loose side. A few more weeks and I will probably have to move on down. I have also had a couple of people tell me my face looks thinner. Things are progressing, even when the scale isn't. I can't wait to see what my measurements are at the end of the month. Until then, I will just keep on keeping on. I can't control what the scale says. I can control my diet and how I react to the number that shows up each day.

Happy July!

 So I haven't typed anything in a few days. It isn't because I haven't had anything to say, but because I have been a bit busy. I continue to stay true to the plan that has been given to me. The great news is that I am not hungry at all most of the time. It is hard to wrap my head around sometimes that I am eating in one day the total calories I would often consume in one meal. It just helps me to know that I don't need that many calories to function. Scale continues to move downward slowly. I am fine with that. 

The upcoming week features the holiday and a couple of trips out of town for me. These will be my first big test to see how I handle this new lifestyle. I just have to remain focused. I continue to keep telling myself that this is only a temporary way of eating. Then I will begin the transition phase. 

If anyone stumbles across this, I wish you a happy 4th of July.
