Now, I don't want to get too optimistic here. I have at least thirty little Excel spreadsheets in my trash marking various weight loss efforts and nearly every single one of them has me hitting the mark for at least the first two weeks.
As I am not currently a svelte 140 pounds (hey - I look good at that weight!), you can extrapolate that those trends never really went /past/ the first few weeks.
Early success doesn't guarantee overall success.
However, it's a heck of a lot more encouraging than early failure!
So, with that in mind, I'm proud to announce that this week's weight-loss goal has been met.
(Pause for applause!)
In fact, folks, it's been a bit exceeded. Our buddy the scale spat back a reading of 195.
A reminder - we only needed 196 to stay on our most aggressive track.
Now, now. No stage diving yet, if you please. A good deal of this can still be attributed to the bloody cough/sore throat combination that's been plaguing me all week. Eating hasn't been on the top of my list and, as mentioned, weight lost in this manner tends to come back very quickly.
We'll see.
Finally, I did want to pass along this bit of information.Perhaps the most important thing I've said yet in this blog.
Motrin is awesome.
No.
Really.
Every single inhalation hurt like hades. Warm drinks didn't help, gargling salt-water didn't help. Motrin, though... absolutely amazing.
