Another 1.6 lbs gone - and I finally broke The 19 Pound Or So Plateau Of Summer 2004. I was at or lurching above my 19.2 lbs loss from eight weeks ago, with little gains, and little losses, but never actually reaching that20lbs. mark. Well, I passed the 20 lbs. mark this week - down a total of 21.4 lbs - and received another 5lbs. star last night at the Weight Watchers meeting.
Whew!
That was a rough two months. I nearly quit. I thought that I would never see 218 on the meeting scale. But I did. A little perserverance goes a long way, I guess. And now I'm a measly 1.6 lbs away from my 10% goal (well, the one listed on my WW booklet, anyways). Next week! That's my goal, to work hard this week and stay on track and lose that 1.6 lbs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My reward for the "over 1 lbs. loss" this past week was the Weezer: Video Capture Device DVD. As I said in my little "rewards" side-blog blurb, I was once a huge, desperate fan of Weezer's. On the DVD, they have footage from a 1997 tribute show for their then recently-deceased freidns & fan club leaders, Mykel & Carli (& Trysta) - all of whom died tragically in a car accident on the way home from a show.
So I was at the show, in the very front. As I watched the footage last night from the performance, I was scanning the limited shots of the audience for a glimpse of myself (as I was basically in the front row) -and I thought I spotted myself. Not sure, though. At some point I'll have to scroll through the individual frames, use the zoom tool on my DVD player, and mess with the tv's contrast settings in the hopes of highlighting any appearance I may have inadvertently made on the disc. So, so pathetic (but I'm okay with that)!
