Just Keep Swimming

So I've just weighed-in and I lost 1.8 lbs this week.  That's awesome and very appropriate and great and wonderful but I'm still disappointed.  (Aside: Oh lovely, I've just realized Blogger hasn't been spellchecking automatically all this time, so the previous posts are probably full of typos.)  I only lost .7 lbs last week, and I tried REALLY hard this week.  I worked the Weight Watchers program perfectly, and I'd earned 33 activity points last week that I didn't even use (activity points can be traded for more food).  Usually when my loss has been small the week before and I work really hard I get a couple pounds loss PLUS extra for catching up from being "good" the previous week and not losing much.

I know I'm doing good though, and I know it's not about a number on the scale, and I know my damned pants are all falling down so I'm probably losing fat and gaining muscle.  I'm still worried though that at this rate I won't make 250 before Burning Man and I won't be able to go (even though my linear regression now says I should be 245 by then, weight loss isn't linear, so it's a rough estimate).

So basically I'm doing ok but I was hoping for better than average, so I'm disgruntled.  It's a lot more fun to work hard and do really well!  For now my philosophy will be to just keep swimming (metaphorically because I don't have access to a pool).
