The Scale is Always Right?? - Weigh in #16

There's really no OFF button on the Genius machine.


My brain is constantly churning with possible topics, ideas, and fun information for my blog.

Last night and into this morning, I was preparing myself mentally to either maintain, or rise slightly in critical mass. Ideas, sentences, and paragraph structure were being mulled. How should BK explain a weight gain, AND try to incorporate a positive spin?

I'll tell ya, I had some good stuff planned!! I'm talking deep, soul searching, tree hugging, 'everything's gonna be alright' type stuff. I was actually looking forward to it!

I'm going to sound like a broken record here, I know it. So I nervously stepped up onto the scale this morning, and this was the fine, fine number that was smiling back at me:



193.8


I'm down another 2.3 pounds! 26.2 total pounds lost! You HAVE GOT to be kidding me! Impossible. I swear the scale is lying to me. It can't be right. Lies!

On Monday evening (while catching up on Gossip Girl) I flipped through the pages of my food journal. Last week was a disaster, friends. I honestly feel like I've let myself down. Gloom and doom!

I didn't even record a single entry for Friday and Saturday! What a jerk!

The only logical explanation that comes to mind is that over these 4 months, my body and mind have just carved out healthy eating habits. That is the only possible explanation for this. My body is conditioned to win!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lots 'o stuff going on this week! Plenty of opportunities to falter. I'm really going to have to make the best of my downtime to eat well and sneak in a workout.

Wednesday I'm attending a rock and roll show at the local House of Blues, Friday is my boy DG's 30th birthday blowout extravaganza, and Saturday I have a playoff football game to participate in, as well as the Tribe v. the Reds at night!!! Whew!!

There is no way I make it out of this week alive. No chance at weight loss this week. I'm going to set all of our expectations right now. My goal is to maintain...

Ooooh, oooooh. If I haven't already mentioned it, my freakin Health Club is CLOSED ALL WEEK! What the hell am I supposed to do now? It's been gloomy in CLE since Sunday, and the outlook for the week is more of the same!! I had to run in the rain last night! Yuck.

Anyway, so this is my latest in a series of challenges. Wish me luck.
