For the first time on this weight loss journey, I ended the week with a 1 lb weight gain. I'm now at a total loss of 18 lbs.I think one of the key elements in losing weight is to re-evaluate periodically what you are eating, how you exercise, and your thoughts and feelings to see where improvements can be made. In my case, since my exercise has been sporadic, I signed up for a trainer and my first session is next Saturday.
Week 8 was good for me in an indirect way because I made a big realization that has raised my level of seriousness. Like my recent post Weight Moments: Realizing How Much We Really Weigh, I think we don't realize the heaviness of weight when it's on our bodies. It's when we separate the pounds that we get a true concept of what it means.
Below are a few objects along with their weights -- compare them to your own body to gain a perspective of what the pounds mean:
5 lb - Sack of Potatoes
10 lbs - Bowling Ball
20 lbs - Barbells
50 lbs - Large Dog
75 lbs - First Grade Child
100 lbs - Slim Adult
