I'm a bit late this week, what with Christmas and illness and all, but these numbers are accurate as of Sunday. Unfortunately, being sick for the last several days has not been especially conducive to getting my daily exercise. Kind of hard to go biking or skating when you are pretty much collapsed in bed sleeping off a flu-induced headache. So yeah, I don't really expect big things from week 21.

Guess what? I lost a pound this week. Yay! I"m on vacation the next two weeks, and I hope to use some of that extra free time to get out on the trail more often and maybe gain back some ground I lost in November. Right now I am one pound behind my goal pace, so I don't think it's unrealistic to shoot for three pounds in two weeks, right?

I am so much happier with this week's results. Not quite a pound but very nearly, and twice what I lost the week before. Where November seemed to be a pretty stagnant month, December is moving back into forward progress. Although I am a pound behind my overall goal, I feel very good about the progress I am making. The whole point of this effort is explicitly not to lose a whole bunch of weight quickly, rather the point is to lose a little bit of weight steadily over time.  My hope is that by approaching the change gradually over a period of a year or two, I will be less likely to gain it all back.

Well, this is more than a little frustrating. I guess some progress still counts as progress, but it is feeling more and more like just spinning my wheels. Grr.

Ok, so only a half pound this week. But that's a half pound lost during Thanksgiving week, so that's kind of like a victory, right?

Of course, this means I am now two tenths of a pound behind schedule, so I need to kick it up a notch this coming week to make up ground. Just watch me go!
