0.16% lost this week. That's not a whole lot. But it's lower than I was last week, and the lowest weight I've been in a long time. That brings my average over the past 4 weeks to 0.82%.
The past week had a lot going on. We went to the Renaissance Festival on Friday (spinach pie and half an apple dumpling a la mode, but I dodged the Fish & Chips bullet, and declined the roasted almonds), which was a lot of fun. The kids had never been, and really had a good time.
Saturday. we went up to my stepbrother & sister in law's annual potluck. Ohhhh, deadly good stuff there. The highlight for me is that he fries the best beer-battered fish & onion rings.
On Sunday, Jeff & I went out to breakfast. It wasn't as decadent as the previous week, but it was still a big breakfast (eggs, home fries, two sausage links, two strips of bacon, toast), and not the smartest choice after the previous two days. If we go to the same diner again, I'll stick to oatmeal.
But the biggest factor wasn't any single event. The battery on my food scale died over a week ago, and I just got a new one yesterday ($6 for one battery, ack). I don't think I'm very good at guesstimating amounts yet, so having the scale back is helpful.
I'm not thrilled beyond words with my progress this week, but I am satisfied. What if I don't hit that goal I set for myself? Then I don't hit it, and keep going. The "keep going" part is more important to me than any one moment in time.
