In ligher news...

I'm down another pound which makes for an official loss of 45lbs since June! Woot woot!

I can't really pinpoint what it was that knocked me out of the plateau. I haven't been able to walk as much due to weather and a slight dip into depression that has caused insomnia and made me lethargic lately. I haven't stopped treating myself. My dad gave me a bag of Lindt Milk Chocolate Truffles for Valentine's Day and I went through the whole bag in a week. I ate a cream cheese chocolate donut yesterday and a cinnamon roll last Thursday. I've eaten out twice this week (Sunday and Monday...chicken tenders both times).

Maybe it was just the refocus on intentionality. Despite all those indulgences listed above, I have maintained an overall focus on small portion sizes, low carb meals, lots of veggies and lean proteins at meals. And the fact that I can list all the indulgences speaks volumes, too. Indulgences used to be a daily occurrence, now they are the treats as treats were intended.

Whatever it was, I'm so glad! I feel like I'm behind schedule by a month and a half, but God's time is perfect. I just gotta stay focused on my part of the work. Stay vigilant. Be kind to myself. Do the best I can. Be okay with whatever happens next.

My mind says I want to lose another 36lbs, at least. Short term, I want to lose another 15lbs. But long term, I want to lose another 36 to put me under the heading of morbidly obese. If God wants to bring me that, He will. If not, I will just have to do my best to be okay with it.

As for today, I will celebrate this one pound for the victory that it is and keep moving on.
