Well, for the past two paychecks I’ve deposited $100 each time into my savings account. I’ve got it set up to do it automatically, so I don’t even have to bother with it myself and , for now, I’m pretending like that savings account doesn’t even exist.

I forgot to post this, but I’ve been doing pretty good on my weight loss contest (even though my partner gain 2 lbs last week). I’ve lost 10 lbs in four weeks, so far. So, I’m halfway to my 20 lbs goal! Of course, once I hit that mark, I’ll be setting the next 20 lbs mark… but, at least I’m not trying to do it all at once. I mean, it’s a lot easier to say “I want to lose 10 lbs this month” than it is to say “I want to lose 100 lbs”... because then I’ve set a big number goal but no definite date to accomplish it.

Well, I weighed in this morning. I lost one pound. Everyone keeps saying “Well, at least you lost weight instead of gained weight,” but I still feel upset with myself, regardless. I could have done so much better than I did. I can’t blame the vast difference between last week’s results and this week’s on anyone or anything but myself. Yes, I’m glad I lost at least one pound. But, I’m still disappointed in myself. I’ve got to do much better than this if I want to effectively lose weight and keep it off. Besides, I want to win the contest, too.
My weight-loss partner hasn’t weighed, yet, so I don’t know how they did. I hope better than me.
