Better U Tuesday

...and despite yesterday's excesses, I finished the week half a pound lighter than last week. All things considered, that's not too bad. Now that I have pants that fit, people are looking at me funny when I say I have twenty pounds to go to my goal. "Are you sure?" "Yes, according to the charts, I still have twenty pounds to lose."

Come to think of it, this may be the end of the BetterU programme - yes, apparently it is. I just went over to Faster Than Kudzu and found that Joshilyn's post is called "Better (Stick a Fork in) U". I guess we're done. At least, we're officially done. I still have some losing to do.

Officially, though, these are the stats:

Since I started my personal programme: 23.6 pounds lost.
Since June 1, the official BetterU start date: 17.6 pounds lost.

Had I realized that I was crossing the finish line, I'd have made sure to test my BP, but I didn't.

Thank you to all of you who have put up with these reports and said encouraging things so that I've been inspired to keep working at getting healthy (and skinny). And thanks to Joshilyn Jackson, who inspired us all.

You will note that there is no bikini photo accompanying this post. I did promise not to do that. ;>)
