It's been an interesting day. Pensive after the meltdown last night from missing my Lenny kitty. Work was busy, and every client was talkative. Which is good, since all I had to do was smile and nod.
I finally see what folks are saying about "feeling skinnier". Today was the first time I've felt that way. My bewbs finally stick out further than my belly, and when I sit down, the belly doesn't look like an exploded can of Pillsbury biscuits. It's been a long time since that's happened! Dang..I actually have a lap!
Somewhere deep inside, I've always known that a key to getting the fat to leave is moving my body. I do tend to feed my mind at the expense of moving. I can spend an entire day sitting in this chair, learning, reading, listening to mind enriching things. But I need to balance that with movement. Yesterday's exercise was wonderful, and it showed up this morning with that skinny feeling. Yep, I have some sore muscles, but I slept SO well last night, and woke up feeling lighter and happier. And, in spite of having a Wendy's double cheeseburger (minus bun) for lunch, my afternoon weight was only .2 lbs higher than my morning. Usually, it's at least 1.5 lbs higher. I may actually see a "whoosh" tomorrow.
My boss was a "Debbie Downer" today, teasing me about my 'diet', and telling me I'll get pissed off at it pretty soon and go back to eating "normally" soon enough. I just smiled and recognized that she was talking about herself. She 'did Atkins'(mostly Atkins frozen meal crap) a few months back, and dropped quite a bit. But she got bored with it, and the weight came back, plus some. As I was leaving, she offered me the rest of the birthday cake that was left from last week's celebration of a co-worker's birthday. Even though carrot cake *was* one of my favorites, I laughed, and said, "Sure! I'm sure my neighbors would love it!" No temptations. I'm rock solid, and in the groove!
Have a great night, FS. Thanks for reading my musings.

Fun musings...I too, can sit in my chair all day. But, As the days go by, I'm finding myself moving more and with less aggravation. Found myself out beyond my fenced-in area, chopping overgrowth. Was shocked at how much stuff I had cut. Whoopie.

WOOT, you can figuratively shove that cake back in her snotty face when you keep coming to work smaller and smaller and smaller. She will grow to hate it and eventually she will relent and ask how SHE can do it. NEVER give in to those people. They will try to drag you into the hole with them. Other people HATE seeing someone else succeed when they themselves have failed.

@Debra, It's not even challenging any more. Once I *knew* that wheat and sugar are essentially POISON, there was no turning back, no room for waffling, no options. I'm not in it to prove anything to anyone else, but to prove it to myself. Curing my IR, curing my hypothyroid condition, curing my age-related diseases...THAT is why I'm in it.

So true and the knowledge that it is poison puts the resolute in our resolution :)

Knuckles, you just put the image in my head of the Incredible Shrinking Woman....who vanishes to some world inside an atom of carpet......

I don't recall if that was a book, or a movie, or just one of my many daydreams.....

@ Sarah, I hear ya! I have so much more energy, I have a hard time NOT moving. It won't be outside until probably October here, unless it's in the pool or beach. But move I shall!

@Debra, it was a movie with Lily Tomlin. A commentary on women's roles in the family, and brilliant.

I so admire your attitude - and there is a world of difference between "doing Atkins" the right way vs the convenience food way. I was at a book store today and saw that the latest crew running Atkins have completely revised "New Diet Revolution" but still say it is by Atkins. I didn't peruse it so I don't know what they changed but it appears to be twice a long as it used to be.

Knuckles, I love you, dude. I'm more in the camp of compassion. I know that every finger pointed at me means that there are 3 pointed back at the person pointing. Yes, I will continue on my journey. Yes, the proof will be in the 'pudding'. Will she learn? That's not up to me, nor do I have any stake in it. Her issues are hers, and my journey is mine. Neither has anything to do with the other. If it makes her feel better to project her issues onto me, I don't have a problem with it, because I'm on stable ground. It's taken 20 years to get to this point. It won't be shaken because of a snarky remark. ;)

Sounds like a great boss. Discourage you because she failed then try to sabotage you with last week's cake. If I fall off the wagon - it won't be for week old garbage.

Humph - people who are jealous of your resolve will always try to tempt you! You will be svelte and she will still be overweight!

Yes, and also the book The Shrinking Man by Richard Matheson, read it years and years ago, back during my Heinlein and Asimov years. I have so many books in my head they tend to muddle together sometimes :)

@Trackin, the new version is by 2 brilliant scientists I've researched. While I haven't read the new book, their information is rock solid. I have an issue with the "new" Atkins, because of all the money-making crap that the corporation has put out, that Dr. Atkins would never have approved when he was alive. The shakes, bars and frozen meals are SO far away from what he advocated! That's why they didn't hit the market until he died. It almost makes me wonder if he wasn't 'offed' so the money interests could take over the franchise. :P

MY husband loves Heinlein - Stranger in a Strange Land.

Classic! My favorite was "Time Enough For Love" Loved Lazarus Long :)

@HCB....I am a die-hard Heinlein fan, and Stranger changed my outlook on life! It was the precursor to the Matrix series into the nature of Reality. Asimov also changed my reality.
