A Weight Threshold is Crossed

Well, for 2 months now I had a weight resistance level that seemed to defy being broken. This one was 3 pounds over an even 50-lb. increment on a physician balance scale. So the next time I go to the doctor, they'll finally have to go down a notch on the big slide. A pound loss is just like any other pound, but it's demoralizing to see nurses have to reset a balance scale from the last patient up a notch or two. So, yes, I finally took out a 2-month low--and overnight that 50-lb. barrier. I don't know if the new 3/3.5 net new low exhausts the whoosh. You might hope for maybe a 1.5-lb loss per week, maybe 6 pounds a month. The last time I went through a long-term resistance level, it seemed to lead to a more normal weight loss schedule for the next few weeks.

Ironically I was on yet another bounceback earlier this past weekend when I caught a nasty cold/flu. In a weird sense I've rarely had these for most of my adult life and until the last couple of years haven't taken the usual flu shot. I basically lost my appetite in the process; true, I welcomed seeing the latest bounce water gain drop off, but it's a shitty way of losing weight.
