Sleepy scale... it's really a blessing

Happy Friday all!

So, I was always one of the "weigh yourself once a week...and once a week only" kind of people. But since VSG I weigh every Tues and Fri. I feel safer keeping a close eye on any movement, or NON movement, that it shows. I'm 5 months out(9/11) and down 105 (my BEFORE preo-op diet weight). Couldn't be happier.

BUT...my scale always awarded me a loss every Tues and Fri. Until the past month. One of the things I love about OH...is that the vets keep us all very well informed of what's ahead...so we have a plan in place ( fail to plan...). So I knew this would happen.

The timing is actually a real blessing for me. First...I FINALLY have a day off work (no day off for 11 days...due to blizzard ) so I made plans with my two best friends, who I never see. We'll be out all day and this includes breakfast and lunch. I already had a plan in place of what to eat at both places..no brainer for me. I'd lie if I said I didn't plan on having an extra egg, or a salad with some salad dressing. BUT thanks to my scale sleeping this morning ( no loss)...I've woken MYSELF up to the realization that I can not waiver...or give into that little voice that says " oh...go ahead...whats a little extra fat and protein". No way!

Second...I've put it off long enough. Tonight, when I get home...IT IS TIME TO GET INTO MY EXERCISE ROUTINE. I've not truly dedicated myself to that...and now my body is saying that it's time...so I will listen and get my butt in gear. Got my elliptical in the basement...and charging the ipod.

It's lent...so as I turn my thoughts upward... I also am thinking that this sleepy scale is a little blessing...to hit the high gear...no more cruise control and expectations of scale movement with just doing the basics. Need to give it all I got...becuase I knew the loss would slow...and now I'm ready to take it on. It's time

Thanks for listening to my morning babbling!!!

Have a great day everyone!!!

Peace!
