Went to the clinic last night to stock up on some food and to do my mid week weigh in. Was in such a great mood when I got there because I have been walking on the treadmill and burning calories and fully expected to see a drop. What did I see instead? .5 GAIN! I was shocked and pissed. The nurse tried to make me feel better by taking my measurements and showing me what I have lost, but I wasn't really hearing her. ALL I could focus on was the .5! Stupid Scale.
She said it was probably water retention and that it was late in the day and it was hot yesterday. Do you think ANY of the mattered to me? NOPE! I have been in a foul mood ever since. Stupid Scale.
Today I am chugging water like crazy and I am going back to the clinic on Saturday morning...if that number doesn't drop watch out, this girl is going to go crazy.
STUPID SCALE!
Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't lose the weight, I give myself reasons why I can.

Maintaining.....UGH
Well the one thing about being a woman is once a month we get bitchy, bloaty, and all around unhappy. That happened to me this weekend. I knew from past experience I wasn't going to post a loss for this week. As I was snuggled under the covers on Saturday morning I was trying to convince myself it would be a waste of time to go weigh in.
Here is how the good vs evil was playing out in my head...
Evil: "You aren't going to lose, you are bloated, just look at your feet"
Good: "It doesn't matter, you need your B-12 shot and you need to stay accountable"
Evil: "Just weigh in next week after this week is over and your body will be back to normal"
Good: "Get your ASS out of bed now and go weigh in"
So, I got up..took a quick shower, brushed my teeth...and headed out the door. The clinic opened at 9am and I was on the scale at 9:13.
Results...I didn't lose nor did I gain! AWESOME! Had my monthly visitor not appeared, I would have probably had a little bit of a loss.
I am glad GOOD won and I weighed in and got my shot.
I have some new followers to my blog and I want to welcome them. I still haven't figured out how to comment back to those who leave me comments..but I do want to recognize them and let them know I know they are here and let them know I am rooting for their success.
It is so nice to know that I am not alone on this weight loss journey. It is inspiring to see how others are doing and how they are handling their diets along with the stress that life throws at us. Keep up the good work everyone!
