Eighth Month Review

1) Consitently
2) Stay on Weight Watchers
3) Exercise
4) Daily quiet time with God.

My two-month lapse in blogging should have already allerted you to the fact that I have not been consistently staying on Weight Watchers, exercising, or spending time with God.

June and July were really awful for these goals. I floundered, and floundered, and floundered. I kept using the "Faithfully Fit" devotional, asked others to pray, tried to get my husband to stop quietly sabotaging me, and it didn't work. Not then. I piled on another 4 lbs.

And then, for no obvious reason, it mostly clicked. I have consistently journalled, stayed (mostly) within my points range. I have now lost weight for five straight weeks. It was extremely slow (.2 to .8 lbs per week), but I have lost what I put on and then some. My WW leader pointed out that I am no longer in a plateau, even if I don't feel like it.

So, as it always is, I continue to be a work in progress. For right now I've been reaching goals 1 and 2, but I am not exercising and I have only recently gotten back into a daily routine of meeting with God.

I'm not jumping excited, but I am (at least for now) back on track.
