Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday.
I got a shock this morning, in my sleepy haze this morning, I go into the bathroom to weigh myself, as I do every morning (Bad, Allison, I know). I step on the scale and am close to a coronary. 178 POUNDS! How in the world did I gain 4 pounds over night?!? I step off, and step back on, still 178lbs. I was about to cry, until I step on for the third time, and look a little closer at the display on the scale. When the last person was putting it back, the pounds to kilograms switch must have gotten, well, switched. I've stopped looking at the first number because I know it will always be 1. If it goes up to 2, well then I've got a problem.
That was my exciting story of the morning. It really got my blood pumping, because I thought I was failing. I'm not going to record my actual weight, because I like to be in the habit of weighing in officially on Wednesdays (which will always be my official weigh in day) and Mondays to see how well I do after the weekends.
I like to think that I'm approaching my goal nicely, and I'll hopefully have a week or two of "padding," to either lose a few extra pounds or catch up if I'm behind, but I have a little over 5 more to lose before my next goal on March 29th.
I am thinking of editting my mini-goals on my biography, because I am doing so well, but I'm afraid if I do that, I'll fail miserably. Haha. Oh well, I'll weigh in tomorrow, and see what happens. I'm enjoying my "downhill racing slope" at the moment. I just hope it stays that way.
Things at work are getting better. I'm being the bigger person (while I'm trying to make myself a smaller person heh.) I'm not going to let conflict ruin my weeks so that way all I have to look forward to is the weekend. I mean, who doesn't look forward to the weekend, but I just want to have something more. I don't want the environment to be all tense and stressful. I can't handle that. So the bigger person I will be.
So now, my 5.
5. Trying to diffuse a situation so its at least amicable
4. A new LOST tonight!!
3. Trying yoga (at a studio) for the first time in years tomorrow night
2. Not giving into temptation
1. Joe wore a smaller waisted-pants the other night and thanked me for helping him get into them.

Shame on you girl!!....Do not weigh yourself everyday, that is a bad habit. Try to weigh yourself weekly or monthly. So forget about the scale for a while and concentrate more about exercise and healthy food...take care!!

Yeah, work sucks. I think I'm going to post a journal later about how much I LOVE my job, and the people in it! LOL Anyway, about re-doing your goals... its a hard call. On one hand, your doing so great, so you want to push yourself harder. On the other hand, you probably did the math and figured out what would be possible. For me, I always lose a bunch of weight at first, and then taper off. While I'm still losing, its just not as great. Keep up the good work though - your doing great!!!!!

Oh now some of us actually benefit from weighing every day!! It is different for everyone. Do what works for you!!! So glad your SHOCK was just a mistake. However, I CAN and do fluctuate several pounds sometimes in just ONE day!! It drives me crazy but it is just the way my body works and I am SLOWLY becoming at peace with it. Do have a good day!! Focus on what is working and the weight will continue to drop!!

I weight myself everyday, too. I've decided for better or worse it is what works for me and keeps me on track. Your chart is awesome and you seem to have such a positive attitude. I know you'll continue to succeed. LOST TONIGHT!!! Sawyer, now that is something yummy:)

@Mom: I am ashamed to say that I didn't really do any math. I figured that 15 pound intervals didn't seem too daunting to me, and I happened to have some milestones coming up. New Years, my and Joe's 2 year anniversary, a wedding in May, and then my birthday. Each being about 2 months apart. That was my thinking, nothing mathetimatical or scientific. 15 lbs doesn't scare me when I look at it. When I start looking at the big picture and the total 78 I want to lose, that's when I get scared. @Moose: I think that once I get to where I am, the stabilization of weight and the fluctuations will become normal, and I'll get use to it. I wish I had your "zen" feeling about it. Just now, I've got to take it as it comes, and if it's a gain, I've got to work it off!

Aww, that's so sweet that he thanked you for getting into smaller pants. See? You're an inspiration. : ) Glad that scale episode this morning was a mistake. That wouldn't have been possible overnight anyway. Have a great day Alli!
