That’s a loss of 1 lb. in February, and a total loss of 7.5 lbs. since January 1.
Well, it’s the correct direction, you know? Yeah, I wish it was more, but I know why it isn’t. I overindulged in the first part of the month when I added poultry back, and wound up relinquishing some of my January progress in the process. So there have been a few pounds I’ve had to lose twice.
Nevertheless, the weather should markedly improve this month, and more hiking opportunities shall present. (I’m also reminding myself that this is the first time I’ve ever been lighter two months after quitting smoking.)
Onward. It’s not a sprint. Don’t worry about winning; worry about doing the right things, day after day, and the win will come.

One pound a week is awesome! Much more than that and you’re just losing water weight anyway.
Keep it up
I am so proud of you for quitting smoking. XOXO
woohoo!! keep it up!
All: Thanks so much!
Jenny: I escorted Lea to a retirement party for one of her old colleagues Saturday night, and five or six folks stood/sat around and smoked in the house. I didn’t know anybody did that anymore. It appealed to me, and I’ve thought of it a few times since, but I’ve not slipped. Can’t; I’ve come too far!
Bo,
It’s been a long time since I’ve commented on anything, but I’ve been reading your posts consistently. Congratulations on quitting smoking and on the weight loss! You will be amazed how much better you will feel. Quitting smoking is the only New Year’s resolution I have ever kept (1997). Now, when are we getting together for that trip to Anniston????
Dave
Dave! Thanks, man. I appreciate it.
We do need to figure out the Anniston trip soon. I’ll get offline with you and shoot you some dates, and we’ll make something happen.
