Okay, I don’t know how to say this because it’s super weird but I lost seven pounds last night.  I have no idea why.  I took the long way all day when I could yesterday but it only totaled about eight extra blocks.  I’m thinking that wasn’t it.  I ate slightly less but as some of you already know, I also stuffed some cherry pie a la mode into my beak as well.  The only other thing I did any differently was that I drank a lot of fruit juice because I’m fighting off a cold.  I’ll grant that my “lady time” is near but I haven’t even taken anything for cramps (no diuretics) and considering that I haven’t even started yet, I don’t see how that would have anything to do with it.  I’m thinking it will even itself out by the time I weigh in again but it’s still weird.  And no, it isn’t my scale, I checked a thousand times, it’s right (and I weighed myself on a few separate occasions before I set my starting weight, they all came out the same).  Any ideas?  Has this ever happened to anyone else for no apparent reason?  I HAVE been doing some positive thinking exercises…

I’ve been telling myself for a long time that I need to do it.  And then I don’t.  I lose a few pounds and gain it all back, over and over again.  Now it’s become absolutely ridiculous!  The last time I went to the doctor and got weighed I almost fainted!  Good Lord!  Yet another 8 lbs had crept on!  I’m bigger now that I’ve ever been, I even weigh more now than the day my daughter was born- 14 years ago!!  I lost almost all the baby weight but I’ve just gotten lazy (and my metabolism has undoubtedly slowed) and I’ve had it! 

 Here it is, for all to see!  Perhaps this will give me a reason to stop putting it off.  I’d love to find a buddy to sort of compete with, I seem to do better when I think I’m competing than just for the obvious reasons.  Go figure.  If there are any volunteers that’d be great!  Otherwise I may just follow someone’s case and keep it to myself.  It’s always easier to win a race when the other person doesn’t know they’re playing!
