GOOD NEWS MEH NEWS redux
It's Weigh In Wednesday and I have a huge sense of deja vu and with good reason. My scale is stuck. I know
I'M not. It's got to be the scale's fault. There was only a .2 loss and that was the first series of 3 weigh ins this morning. I decided to *ahem* weigh again after the "morning constitutional" and then re-weigh and the scale went right back to where it's been since January 29. How is that even possible? Stuff that has mass came out of my body! Of course I'm recording the original weight.
I'm becoming such an advocate for this way of eating that I don't want to fail it. I know it works. I've seen the evidence with my own eyes. I guess I've just got to give it a little more time. I may do another unofficial weigh on Saturday when my husband weighs in. He is losing and we're eating pretty much exactly the same things although he eats larger portions and has quite a bit more Splenda than I do so I know it must be me. Have I wrecked my metabolism over the years with the yo-yo-ing? Maybe. Who's to say. I'm just going to stick with it and go about my life.
I must keep reminding myself how much better I feel and how much more energetic I am.
So, that was all the Meh news. Now for the good:
MY MEASUREMENTS:
Measurements for Feb 2 vs. Feb 9
Chest--41" -- 40.5"
Waist--36.5" -- 35"
Hips (ugh)--45.5" -- 44"
Thigh--27" -- 27"
Upper Arm (the guns)--13" -- 12.5"
A total of 5 inches lost in one week. I think that's good, but I've been so focused on the number on the scale that I have no idea what inches lost should be. Guess I better start reading up on that.
Today what I'm NOT grateful for:
My scale for making me feel like a fraud and a failure
Today what I AM grateful for:
My measuring tape for making me feel like I'm not doing this for nothing.
