Another weigh-in and measurement day falls a bit short but...

So here we are at the start of a brand New Year. Also time for my monthly weigh-in and measurements. I wasn't too excited about that, because I knew I hadn't lost and even gained a little during the Christmas Holiday.

Prior to December I was averaging about 8-9 pounds lost per month. And was on target to reach my goal by January.

BUT...I did hit a bit of a road block as I indulged a little too much in food and drink (Dr. Pepper mainly) over the holidays. So I hit a plateau that really was of my own making.

I weighed-in yesterday at a whole pound less than last month! Better than gaining I guess. The good news is that I still lost about 3 inches total in places where I needed to lose. I also lost a little more body fat. The key was that I maintained my exercise program in spite of my poor eating and drinking habits.

So, am I discouraged, disappointed? A little. I really thought I would make my weight loss goal by now, but I am also very happy that I am still losing inches and body fat. This is my first real setback, if you want to call it that. So all in all, things are good.

If you are struggling yourself with weight loss and health, don't let the little setbacks get you down, just keep plugging away. That's what I intend to.

Total lost so far, about 58-60 pounds. I don't know the exact figure because I didn't weigh in when I started weight loss. All I know is that I had one Dr. appt at 220lbs at one point.
