Stepped on the scale this morning: 209. Down a pound from yesterday. On the heels of my self reflection journal yesterday, Joy shimmied about in the corner trying to get Doubt to 'cut loose and cheer.'
"Come on... remember what everyone wrote yesterday... now DANCE!'
'Oh... I don't know....'
"You can do this. Smile and shake your hips."
'Oh... uh...'
"Hey, how about THIS. How about you swap methods for a while. Record the weight LOSS on the first day and ENJOY it. Give any GAINS a 3 day waiting period. How about that? Hmmmm...."
'Oh.... okay... Deal!'
But just as Joy & Doubt linked hands and started to skip off into the sunshine, Judge Logic waded in and banged her gavel.
"Okay you two, settle down a second. Here's the way it's gonna be."
"YOU, Doubt, WILL start celebrating and recording every pound loss the day it happens."
"But YOU, Joy, will NOT be dragging Bella up the River Denial with this waiting period. Every pound lost and every pound gained will be recorded and addressed. Got it?"
Unison: "We got it!"
Definitely something to address indeed. Down another pound but even my undergarments are uncomfortable and those jeans I pulled on 2lbs and 4days ago were so tight I couldn't wear them comfortably today. I definitely had plenty of water yesterday - will go check my food diary for abnormally high sodium. Weird. Could just be my body fighting the 'slim concept'.
Regardless, this is for my very supportive and encouraging friends:
EveryBody Dance Now. Oh, it's for me too!
