Anti-climatic at best.
I haven't lost anything. In fact I'm up by 7 ounces.
But I'm okay. It's easy to put things in perspective when I lost 3 inches this week.
I know how it works - the scale is not the full picture.
In fact, it's almost weird how well I took the news. Used to be I would be devastated by this kind of news.
I guess because honestly I was expecting a gain. My home scale is officially broken. I should have known it yesterday when it went from 276 to 302.
Anyway, the idea is to love myself no matter what the scale/measuring tape says.
My worth is not dependent on my weight or my dress size.
(I'm still re-programming here, so you'll hear this stuff a lot).
I got some good news from the director yesterday. He likes my new changes and has given me the go ahead to begin writing. This is very exciting news and I can't wait to get started.
Another bit of good news is Steven won the contest at his new job. Cancun here we come. I think he's under the impression that I'm not excited because I didn't have a big reaction.
The way I look at it, I always knew he'd win. I never doubted it for a second.
So when he tells me, it's like.. "oh... okay". LOL Cuz I already had planned on going.
Anyway, tonight is the full family dinner to celebrate how proud we are of him. I'm not concerned that I will go off the wagon. Even when I'm eating up to 2200 calories, I'm still eating under what I normally burn. Plus I already did my walk at the mall earlier. Window-shopping has become my favorite workout. We're talking hours and hours prowling the stores.
Hey... it's a start. :)

NO NO NO..... Don't you know the PMS rules! If you weigh yourself with PMS you subtract 3 pounds so you were not up 7 ounces at all. You are down. You did great. I only hope this month I am as lucky.
