Today was gonna be the day.  When I woke up, I just knew it - it was my first thought:  “Today I’m gonna see two-fifty-something on the scale!  Wooohoooo!”

LOL!  260.2!  My scale has a definite sense of humor!

Eh, it’s okay.  The numbers will move.  Eventually.  I can wait it out.  The reason why I want to get to that group of ten is because that is where I was last summer.  I had quit smoking and taken up bicycling and had started losing weight — and then I got sick.  I spent almost two months in bed, doing nothing and gaining weight until this past January when I decided I’d gained enough.  More than enough. 

Then, after I get to the two-fifties, the two-forties are important to me for a different reason.  The year before, I was working for a different company and became friends with two other ladies who liked to go out walking at lunchtime.  Because of those daily walks, I lost about ten pounds and was down to two-forty-seven.  I. want. BADLY.  To be less than 247.  THEN I will feel like I’m truly making NEW progress (instead of correcting a more recent gain).

Like I said, I can wait it out.
