For the second day in a row, the scale showed me 213.x. Yesterday, it was 213.4 lbs and I refused to accept it, instead taking 215.4. Today, it showed me 213.6 lbs. Again, my mind and my heart are so reluctant to believe it because of this feeling that the success of being below 215.0 lbs is going to be ripped away from me the moment I accept it as truth. But I can’t argue with a scale that’s been flirting with the 214-213 range for a while now so I decided to meet the scale in the middle. I averaged yesterday’s recorded weight with today’s scale weight to make today’s recorded weight 214.6 lbs. I’m under 215.0. I don’t want to believe it and I think the prospect scares me a little. XD
I took something of a rest day yesterday. I’m feeling exhausted both physically and mentally and I think my body needed it. I’m hoping that I accomplish something other than walking today, though I’ll listen to what my body tells me I should be doing. I’ve been pushing hard to get writing in most days this last week and while I want to get some more words out there, I think I might have to let my brain recover so I’m not going to force it. If it happens, it happens. If not, (shrug) oh well. I’m off tomorrow so there will definitely be some crazy writer shenanigans going on then.
