It's been a while since I had a Saturday WI Ramble... :o)

Well... I can't believe I did it... I weighed in today Not my normal week to WI... I have been weighing bi-weekly for over a year now because I definitely have a bi-weekly weight loss pattern ... great one week, not so great the next week... no matter how great I was OP that week. I just didn't want to deal w/ the numbers anymore... they shouldn't matter that much, right?

Anyways... I noticed a month or so ago that I was "slacking off" the week that I knew I wasn't going to WI & I decided that I had to start going weekly again for accountability sake. Today was that first day. I almost didn't do it... this DEFINITELY wasn’t the week for it... not only is it an off week as far as weight goes, I also had a bunch of ham this week but I tried to drink a TON of water to flush all that sodium out & some other stuff going on that we can't talk about here... which DOES effect what the scale says (even if it’s temporary)... so I wasn't expecting much, if anything.

Things have been sooooooooooooo slow this year... I've lost a total of 5 pounds this YEAR. Yeah, FIVE POUNDS. (that’s an average of 1/3 lb per week) I am ALWAYS OP, always... so it's been weird. Not as frustrating as I would think it would be, just weird. I'm really proud of myself for that! Nothing is going to stop me... I have a goal & a healthy life to live from now until forever... the numbers have only a small role here... “I” am all I can count on... I KNOW that I can do this... I know how simple this can be & how easy it is for me when I’ve got it together & how happy I am when I know I am doing my best... keeping it positive as much as possible. I don’t feeling depressed, to battle w/ myself over the simplest tasks... so I don’t... I just DO... it takes the debate out of the picture.

Anyways, LOL, as far as the WI goes... I lost a pound!! I’m THRILLED w/ that! That’s a pound... THREE times what my average is! LOL! :o) I didn’t expect anything... w/ all of the stuff I mentioned above... I can just imagine that if this was my BAD week, what next week’s WI will be! :o)

So... there you go. A little ramble. :o)

Have a great weekend guys!
