Wednesday, Feb 6th - quick check in

I'm too tired for a full write up.

I've read my day 8 and need to read my day 9.  I'm keeping up with water and working on choosing the food vice I need to work on this week.

Super fun and active day. Headed to a friend's house to help her with some unpacking of boxes for an upcoming move into her home that was damaged by fire. Then we rushed through Sam's for a major quick shopping trip. Toting that big ol' cart was a workout!

Got home and headed out again with David for a full workout at the gym. Amazing how much that relaxes me. I feel so calm and ready to crash by the time we are done. Broke the 200 cal mark with my elliptical workout again.

So, I'm here. I'm working the plan. I'm just too tired from workin' it to write more tonight

YMCA scale said I was down to 208 tonight, so 1/2 a pound.  It's something even though I spent the evening grumping about why the scale doesn't move more and faster for me.  My husband replied to my grumping with some encouraging words. 

"You are getting stronger and healthier. Even if the scale never changes, you are healthier than you were and I like that. I also really like seeing you at the gym with me when I'm there. I'm glad we're doing this and I'm proud of you for working so hard."

That's better than anything the scale could say to me. :)

  3. Thanks ladies. I did think of you and your butter, Amy. ;) Heather, I don't have a scale that seems reliable at home, so I use the one at the Y now. That means nightly weigh-ins. Hey, when I'm skinny at night then I'll know I'm REALLY skinny. ;)
