Day 8 Weigh In Day

1/25/2012

0 Comments

 
Dun, Dun, Dun....the scale.  It's always been my nemesis.  It seems no matter what it says, I'm not happy.  It's either not enough, or I qualify it as water weight, or it reminds me of how I far I have to go, or it's just "wrong."  In all honesty, I really do hate the scale.  You guys know that.  But....I've been on the ETL plan for 1 week, and it's time to weigh myself.  So, I'm down 4 lbs!  Usually on a first week, I'd chalk it all up to water weight.  However, I'd lost some before starting the plan, so I'll take that 4, and not think of it as water weight.  I'll think of it as hard earned weight loss.  I'll visualize it as 4 of those gross 1 lb. hamburger tubes off of my body.  Those 4 lbs. are no longer crushing my insides.  I'm not going to do a happy dance, or anything.  Well, maybe if I were drunk, and then it would just be 'cause I was happy to be drunk :)  I really hope you guys try some of these recipes, or maybe find some sort of motivation in this way of living.  If not, it's no biggie.  Everyone has their own path, and their own timing.   I love that you are here to share mine and Amy's journey on ETL.  You guys have stuck with me through everything, and I sincerely appreciate that.  I couldn't ask for a better set of friends.

I was able to get into town today, and get my workout in.  I also went grocery shopping at Walmart.  Big day :)  The day kinda got away from me, so my eating is all off track.  Sucks, I'm hungry.  Off to make dinner.
