Today is the first day I put the scale in the back of the closet. Now, don't think I'm going crazy, they most definitely have a scale at the weigh-in, but I needed to remove the aggravation of daily scale obsession. I ended up working a really long day yesterday and it was too cold and dark at 7 to take the dogs out given the crazy rain, crazy drivers and the very real possibility that we will lose some trees in the next week or so. Today should be more normal.
Now, for the fun stuff. Being so short, the pounds really do show up on me even though I am muscular (really! they even said so for the BMI thing) and the "muffin top"that had evolved into a full baker's dozen this past year seems to have receded a bit. In fact, whether I lose much or not this week, I am wearing some jeans that did not fit earlier this year and I can sit and breathe in them.
Tried to keep the focus on playing within the lines yesterday. I did some cooking, but played by all the rules. I wasn't ever cheating last week, but there was a day where I couldn't remember if I ate all my food or not, that was just me being sloppy and distracted by life. the food journal is now right there and I don't have to backtrack. making more precise notes as well.
I am totally preparing myself for a slow loss this week despite how "normal" people lose. i've never been normal, no point in freaking everyone out now. Plus, a slower loss means I may not have as much of an issue with the "flaps" except for on my gut.
