My enjoyment of the blue color on my weight loss short was short lived!! LOL!! Ah ... the fluctuations of life. I was up to 179.6 this morning from 178.0 yesterday. I have no idea why ... I think it is just one of those "things" so I'm not going to fret about it. The blue will return again ... so absolutely no worries.
Mom and I are going to do a little bit of running around today. Hubby is at work. If he's feeling spry when he gets home maybe we'll go see a movie or go out to dinner. If he isn't feeling spry we'll hang out at home. My closet is fixed ... bless his heart!! The door knob isn't ... but that is because I bought the wrong kind of door knob and need to exchange it. The deer spent most of the night digging a hole in front of the front door to our house for some strange reason. I don't know if there are some yummy minerals under the gravel or what. Every so often they do this ... strange.
On a celebratory note ... my mom, judibird here on fatsecret, saw those "magic" words this morning when she put in her weight ... "you have reached your goal"!!!! Isn't that fun?!?!?! She had a big smile on her face and I know it is so very exciting for her. I do not think she is "done" losing yet ... but she has reached that first goal she set. I know ... there have been many times she has doubted her ability to reach it and HERE SHE IS!!!! Yea mom!!! Yea Judibird!!!
I have not reached my "goal" ... LOL!!! But I am in that range and it will come!! An colleague I used to work with asked me the other day "how are you staying so skinny?" LOL!!! I liked the word included in the question ... "staying". Of course I don't see myself as "skinny" ... that is neither here nor there for me. But, "staying", ... now that is a GREAT word!!! She didn't ask me how I lost the weight ... she asked me how I was keeping it off. YES. I have lost enough ... and kept it off for long enough ... that my fellow travelers who have been on similar journeys of their own ... have noticed. Maybe that seems silly but it felt good. Instead of focusing on where I have not yet arrived ... it helped me to soak in how much I have accomplished and how WONDERFUL it feels.
Well ... I better get myself showered and dressed if we are going to go out and run about!!! Have a wonderful Saturday!! Celebrate your successes ... all of them ... we all have them but they may not be the ones we are focusing on!!

Hey Girl........you are STILL in the 170's so don't fret! Never heard of a deer doing that. Very strange. Congrats to Mom! That is wonderful. I didn't know that's what happened when you meet your goal because I've never been there yet...LOL . You are very wise to be happy about what you have already accomplished. So many of us forget about that and just dwell on why we're not losing weight fast enough! Have a good day with Mom. :)

Cheer up! My scale was meaner to me than yours to you! LOL! You're still blue in my book, buddy. :) Congrats to your mom and her magic words! We'll see them one day, too, I have no doubt. Have a great time running around today!

I like the "absolutely no worries" part. You know that that (your weight), you can control. Next thing to fix? Like someone said this morning: "It never ends." :-) You have a good day too moose!

I also like the worries part. We do the best we can do and what happens, happens. And yes, you will get to that blue line. :-)

Congrats to your mama for reaching the goal line! Awesome news! Also glad to hear that you are out of the closet - repair-wise - that is. I invested time in my closet yesterday also - trying on clothes that fit - fit - fit! We like those productive afternoons with our closets. You must live in a beautiful rural setting to experience the deer so close to your house. We live on the edge of town and the corn fields are way up now! I saw two baby deer step from among the corn stalks just yesterday. So beautiful! Have a good one!
