First small victory

I don't own a scale. For one thing, scales are expensive. For another, I get weird about weighing myself.

Last week I weighed myself at the gym just so I would have an idea of where I'm starting. I was 302 which is about where I expected to be. Not my highest weight ever, not something I was all that happy about, but I wasn't surprised by the number.

This morning I was ten minutes early on the way to work so I stopped in to the gym to use the scale again. I expected to have lost at least a pound or two due to being sick and not able to eat for two days, but I was very excited to see 297.6. That means last week I lost 4.4 pounds. I'm very excited. It's a super start and it makes me want to try that much harder.
