Weighed myself this morning and I lost another 2lbs for a total of 3lbs in 2 weeks! I think I exercised about the same as I did the week before and most days I was able to keep my calories to 1,200 or below (instead of 1,300 or below) -maybe that helped me drop 2lbs instead of only 1? Anyhow, I'm heading straight into week 3, very motivated by that 2lb loss :). And I have really surprised myself, I'm staying on track all day, each and every day. I've occasionally had a meal that caught me off-guard and ate more calories than I planned but still watched my portions and kept them under control. But in the past, one "bad" meal (or a day of exercise skipped) would mean I was done dieting for the week and would plan to "start over on Monday" only for the cycle to repeat again and again. That happened more times than I can count.
Is it my shorts riding up because my thighs are rubbing when I run? Is it the fat I can feel jiggle in my stomach and rear areas when I run? Is it knowing I can do it because I've done it before? Is it because I've made it as uncomplicated as possible this time? Is it a wedding in the fall? (I'm getting married in the fall, hopefully to the LOML, but if he doesn't hurry up and propose, I'm just going to grab somebody off the street! Or maybe out of a gym would be better.) I really don't know what the difference is this time but I hope whatever is keeping me motivated hangs around for about 9 more weeks (and beyond for maintenance of course).
I'll try to remember to take an update picture and post mid-week, although I'm doubting that 3lbs lost will be that noticeable yet :).
Oh! and Happy Anniversary tomorrow to LOML! I hope it's you I'm marrying in the fall ;).
