So on Thursday's Weekly Progress Report, I weighed in at 156.2; a 4.4 pound loss! I was totally excited to have such a strong first week's showing. But I started to mentally prepare myself for the fact that such a pace is completely unsustainable and probably just "beginner's luck" or something.
So I wasn't too surprised when I remained at 156.2 on Friday....and then again this morning.
And just as I began to get frustrated, I suddenly got this strange feeling that this has all happened once before.

So I went back to the beginning of the blog and began re-reading entries from last September. And, I'll be damned, this weight--156.2--was the exact same weight that wouldn't budge during last fall's Half Hannukah (ya know, that time when the weight that was supposed to last for just 1 night lasted for four whole nights.....The Festival of Weights....)
The Progress trackers from My Fitness Pal don't lie....and they look almost completely identical.

The bad news is that if history truly repeats itself, I will completely give up on this blog in about 6 weeks.
At least this time I have the Big Carrot to look keep me motivated. In just the last 24 hours the Big Carrot has single handedly helped me avoid a pizza bender and a late-night alfredo binge......the force is strong with the Big Carrot.
Lesson of the day: learn from the past (don't freak out about this momentary lag in weight-loss momentum) and change the future (don't give up like a big baby after losing 11 pounds). Good plan.
