madermouse's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Six long inches... April 13th, 2004 Today is my weigh-in day at calorieking. I stepped on the scale very nervously, knowing that I haven’t done very well this week. Exercise-wise, I still got in 5 days of scheduled aerobic activity. I even got a lot of walking done this weekend, not to mention 2-3 hours of housecleaning. But my eating.... god. I hate to admit my eating hasn’t been even close to controlled. I seem to be developing a pattern: healthy breakfast, healthy lunch, sinful dinner, sinful dessert, middle of the night snack. This is not good. Its causing me to go over my calories by like 1,000!! Anyway, as I was saying, I nervously stepped on the scale and double blinked my eyes when I saw 303.6 pounds!! A 3.6 pound gain from last week!! Grrrr... But you know, with my new “mind over mood” attitude, I tried not to be too upset. I don’t like weighing 303.6, it’s a drag. Especially since three weeks ago I was sitting right about 299.9. (I like anything in the 200’s at this point) But, I wasn’t going to beat myself up. It’s my new strategy, to seek out the positive and not live by the scale. So I really tried to let it go. I get to work and reluctantly fill out my calorie king check in with my new – increased weight. Then I take my measurements. Six inches. Nope, that’s not the length of my true love’s......hair. That’s the number of inches I’ve lost in the past 3 weeks. Six inches total! :) :) That’s 3 more inches from last week! It was a huge relief to me. I don’t give a h*ly shit what the scale says, man....as long as those inches keep falling away. I’m 3 inches down in my hips already! This makes me soooo happy I could crawl right through the screen and kiss you!! (but i won’t....wait! come back!) I never really thought that exercise paid off, ya know? Anyone can starve and lose weight – regardless of whether or not they exercise. But here it is – tangible proof that I’m getting smaller, despite the fact I haven’t been perfect with my calories. This is the little bit of motivation I needed to keep going. If I had just been paying attention to the scale, I probably would’ve thrown up my hands today and eaten a whole pizza or something. Hope you all had a nice Easter! 12:19 p.m. - April 13, 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
