Week Twenty-Two Weigh-in

Current Weight: 192 (down 2.4 lb this week, 13 lb overall)

I wasn't going to do a post this week if it was bad news; but since it's good news, I will. I was way too defeated last week for it to be bad news again. In addition to the weekly weight loss/gain number, I added my overall weight loss since I started these posts because I figured it'd be a good reminder to myself that portion control and exercise do actually work.

As far as the running goes, I only ran twice last week. My weekend was busy, and I developed a cold, so I didn't bother yesterday morning or today. Hopefully I'll find the motivation to get out at least once this week.

I read something yesterday that said green tea helps with weight loss, so I gave it a shot today by substituting my morning coffee with green tea. Not that coffee's bad for you, but I need all the help I can get. Unfortunately, the tea wasn't strong enough to prevent me from getting a caffeine headache. I may have to rethink my strategy.

    When you were pregnant with Bridget, how did you manage to cut out coffee cold turkey?

      If I remember correctly, I had a headache the first few days, but that eventually went away. And of course, I had extreme fatigue but that's typical for the 1st trimester. Since this is Day 3 without coffee, I'm hoping I won't get a headache today...we'll see.

    I just rejoined WW again (online), but maybe we could be buddies or something like that. It is said that you lose more weight when you are doing it with a friend. Other than that stick with it, it will happen. 13 pounds is fantastic!

    PS. I deleted my blog a month or so ago. With two kids I have no time to blog anymore :(

      Yeah, we'll definitely have to encourage each other. That 13 pounds is in a span of 6 months, so it's not as impressive as it sounds, but it's something. I can imagine how having two kids really pretty much eliminates blogging time.
