I feel blah
Blah blah blah.

I won't go into the gory details because I know some of y'all guys especially aren't too interested in hearing about "girl" problems. And I know that some of the gals who have really bad "girl" problems want to hit me on the head with a shovel when I talk about how easy I generally have it.

But the scale is lying to me this morning. It says I weigh exactly the same as I did yesterday and I KNOW that's A FILTHY LIE. I must weigh at least 4,527 pounds today. I hate feeling all bloaty. :(

1. It is easy to change
You know that trouble starts with T
which rhymes with B
which stands for Bush.

So erase B today from your vocab, and your blahs change to Lahs!

3. Thanks mom
:)

I know that I let the scale make me a little nuts sometimes. I'm really really close to the "end" of the weight loss odyssey and it's getting harder and harder to get those last few pounds off and it gets frustrating.

Doing something nice for myself is definitely on the agenda for today. My best friend is making a ham and has already invited me over for dinner. I'm supposed to pick up a dessert on the way over later this afternoon. Mmm...dessert. :)

And if I'm still feeling blah...I've got all afternoon to sit on her couch and drink blue margaritas. :)

5. I use a heating pad now instead of motrin
it works much better for me. As for feeling like you weigh 2 tons, rememeber in a few days you'll be back to normal.

6. I know I know I know
I shouldn't weigh myself too often. But it's really hard to see the scale and not just hop on it and see where things are.

12. I never, ever weigh myself
I can tell by how my clothes fit if I have gained or lost weight. Get rid of that freaking scale already.

13. Everyone is getting more concerned...
with the scals than I am. I use it as one measure of how I'm doing. I use what size I'm in and how my clothes fit as another. And of course there's always the mirror. :)

9. I had chocolate cheesecake last night...
:)

If I want chocolate again today I have to earn it. Gotta get up and go to the gym first...then chocolate.

Actually weighing myself today kind of helped. I know now that the "fat" feeling is in my head since I haven't actually gained any weight.

10. Mmmmm, chocolate cheesecake
It's only 9:30 here and I could go for some! You're so good to go to the gym regularly. I'm off to my Pilates class later today, to atone for my many culinary "sins" during the past week. :)
