wow. what a freakin’ week. i was so stoked after my weigh-in last week and with dealing with the hubby traveling that i managed to eat pretty well. i weigh myself every morning at the same time so last friday i did my routine and was shocked when the scale said 151.4, i seriously alerted the presses, texting the friends and even giving myself a shout out on facebook for losing 19 pounds. well, that scale ‘o mine must have wanted a good laugh because the next day she went back up to 154 and then after running the 5k it stayed at 155 until this morning. what the freaking hell? for one, i learned a lesson, i should not weigh myself everyday but i love seeing the number jump all around. i am a little peeved that i cannot report being at 151, i was so ecstatic for my weigh-in today to sound the alarm of finally breaking the one pound per week nonsense, but nope! it’s a pound, again.
it’s a weekly thang {weigh-in wednesday}
i tell myself not to get depressed about only being a pound lighter because honestly, it’s still a pound. it wasn’t until i saw my friend cb pin this image:
and then you realize, damn! a pound is still okay. at least it wasn’t a gain. slow and steady wins the race and i am still on track to getting there by my birthday. and by the way, you need to head over to cb’s blog, see cupcake run, to see her amazing transformation as she’s lost 50+ pounds over the past year. she’s my inspiration.

FYI, it might have gone up after the 5k due to swelling/water retention. Not kidding, you will stand on that scale and it will be gone for good. Keep it up…I am super proud of you, girl!
