Since we started our diet contest at work near the beginning of May, I’ve dropped 25 pounds. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve had smaller losses — two or three pounds each week. I’m not sure if that’s because the weight is getting harder to lose, if I’m not trying as hard, or (most likely) a combination of the two. I have found my plans for walking early in the morning are almost impossible to do. When I walk at night I find it hard to go straight to bed, which means I’m up until 11:30 or 12:00 every night. That makes it very difficult for me to leap out of bed at 5:30am in order to walk. Maybe I’ll be able to squeeze some walking time in at lunch or something instead.<\/p>\n

I’ve had a couple of people mention my weight loss to me at work. When that happens it’s always a little embarassing.
