OK - I admit it. I had a bit of a pity party last night. I'll even admit that it was kind of fun to sit around feeling a bit sorry for myself. And I had some Whine (and wine) with my cheese (stick) while I watched the Biggest Loser (lol)
~*~*~*~*~
I've shared with you that the scale has been moving in the wrong direction... and continued to do so. Last night, after not eating much of ANYTHING I was up to 226.6. Yes, I know it is really dumb to weigh at the end of the day. And yes, I know it will move. But, I checked it (normally I check at night before I go to bed because it typically will give me an idea of where I'll be the next AM - it is my own warped process) and then I got totally pissed off. So what did I do? Poured a glass of wine and sat on my ass to watch the Biggest Loser and stew. I'm run/walking, I'm mainly watching my portion sizes, I HAVE been drinking lots of water and not with meals. WTF? Well, this morning the scale finally started moving back down. Thank God! 222.6 I think a lot of it has to do with what all of you (and my hubby) said, which is that with starting to run, my body is NOT willing to cooperate in the weight loss area. But you know what? I'm going to make it cooperate. This morning was a tough one, but I walked the whole thing. I was really sore from yesterday morning (where I ran further than last time), but I got up and did it, and I'll do it again tomorrow morning. I now have a great "team" that is supporting me (3 neighbors have joined in and signed up for the race) And, hopefully I won't have many more pity parties! Just knowing that I'm going to be able to cross the finish line, running or walking is a huge success.

We all need to have a pity party every now and again and a glass of wine and a cheese stick isn't bad! I also weigh myself at the end of the day to see what I sould be around the next day...:) it can be positive or it can be negative...I just try not to let it get me down if it is negative....
Keep up the great work re running. It's fab that you have a support team....
I know that feeling! Keep your chin up - it's coming off!
Wouldnt it be fantastic if we could not be so damn focused on that scale? I mean look at that list you just typed, walking, jogging, protein, water, portions, etc....so you are doing the right thing!
The scale will catch up Sarah. I promise. If not, I will send you a dollar...and you can use it to buy a cheese stick to have with your wine! hhahaha....
You are doing great.
((Hugs))
I am so impressed with all the positive changes you're making-the scale has to catch up at some point!
You are not alone! I totally do the weigh at night to get an idea of what I'll be in the morning. It's ridiculous because there have been times when I'll wake up in the morning and only be down .4 and get so mad! I actually weigh twice in the morning. I go to the bathroom, then weigh, then lay in bed for about 15 minutes and weigh again. I'm almost always at least .5 pound lighter the second time. It's all too obssesive and yet I'm not going to stop.... ;-)
The most important thing is to keep going, you have done the absolutely right thing with the run/walking, and your body WILL catch up to the change.
I know how you feel though. And I play games with the scale too. No fun.
I am so impressed with all that you are doing, really!!! When that scale drops it is going to drop. Maybe try to just stay off it at night??? I think we are messing with our minds doing that. Let us know how it goes. K
There is nothing wrong with a pity party every now and then...just as long as we don't get too caught up in them.
You are moving along great!
