I rub the sleep from my eyes, toss on my robe, and begin the fateful walk down the dimly lit hallway to the bathroom. This must be what prisoners walking that Green Mile feel like. They're about to atone for all their sins.
I stand face to face with my antagonist and take a deep breath. He will not break me. I step gingerly aboard his uninviting platform, and watch as the numbers tick up, then down, up, then down. It's like watching the big wheel spin on The Price is Right. You just don't know where it's going to land.
Finally, the numbers come to rest, and the glowing red eyes of my monster show a 1.8 pound gain. That's alright. I was expecting that. Frigging TOM. That lowers my total lost now to14.8. Until we meet again, scale.
Week in Review:
I feel really good about the past week. I upped my water intake, and drank nearly 3L every day. I even afforded myself a nice dinner out, and indulged in a lovely alcoholic drink. It'd been too long, people.
My only regret is that I wasn't active enough this week. Between the insane coldness, busy schedule, and shin splints, I only made the gym twice. I don't like that feeling. In fact, if running leaves me feeling the same way again, I'm going to have to drop it, as instead of increasing my physical capacity, it's severely hindering my athletic abilities. So we shall see. I actually feel like shit when I don't get to the gym, so I don't want to lose that drive.
I'm thinking about purchasing a treadmill, as well. This way, if I do quit the running room clinic, I can do it myself at home, and not feel I'm dragging a group down, should I need to slow my pace. Oh, and there's no windchill in my basement.
Well, a new week, a fresh slate, and a positive outlook. That's all I can ask for, right?

you rock girl, a new week, a new outlook and a positive attitude can take you far, but sometimes its more than ok just to be pissed, trust me I like to swing both ways ;)
Hey, we're all having TOM right now. I guess we sync'd over the weekend...haha..... blech!
I don't even weigh myself during TOM, toooo depressing. I wait until all the icky water weight dissipates and then have at that scale. :)
Ugh, I know.
Well, I dealt alright this week. 2 weeks ago when I maintained for no reason, I was pisssssed.
Oh man I'm glad I didn't sync with you guys!! My cycle is short enough as it is! TMI
Congrats on your weight loss this far! You are so totally fun to be with. And CRRAZZZYY! Yeehaw!
