I was very surprised at my weigh-in this morning - in fact, I think it’s a mistake somehow.  And I fully expect to see a slight gain tomorrow which will be a correction of that mistake.  It’s just not possible to lose a whole pound in one day.  Is it?

Not that I’m complaining.  I usually complain when my scale doesn’t show a loss and now it seems I’m complaining when it does.  I guess I just don’t trust it.

Ever since July I’ve been tracking my weight loss since then.  It was like I was starting over, so I started over.  But those first 5.4 lbs I lost before July were so HARD to lose that I don’t want to forget about ‘em!  So now I’m tracking both.  Eventually I’ll just collapse them and stop tracking two weight loss figures.  Maybe.

I’m jazzed that I’m getting so close to the 30-lb. mark.  It’s amazing how much better I feel, physically, after taking only 30 of my extra pounds off!   I can’t imagine what it’ll feel like to take off 30 more!

Now that I think about it, I’ve been on numerous diets over the years, but I don’t think I’ve ever lost more than 30 lbs at a time.  This will really be a new experience for me, to finally move beyond the initial “honeymoon” stage of a diet into long-term commitment.  Very cool.

Yesterday at work, M. and I were playing with the DDR again and another co-worker pulled out her cell and took a little movie of us.  OMG we played it back afterwards and cracked up!  What a hoot!  Yeah well y’all already know I’m all fat and flabby and I already told y’all that my parts flop around in ways they shouldn’t, so what the hell, yeah, I’ll let ya see.

Wait, before I give you the link, I wanna say a couple things.  My feet still get all lost on the DDR pad and I get so busy watching the screen that I don’t look down to see where my feet are supposed to be.  Of course I had to do this while being filmed, lol.  The “oops” was me noticing that the arrows weren’t landing in their goal on the screen, and so then I corrected that.  The other thing I want to mention is that I’m flat-footed.  My feet are fairly small and narrow (for a fat person) but they do look weird because they are so flat.  I didn’t realize how weird until I watched this movie of myself in socks.

So much for Paula thinkin’ I’m cool for doing DDR.  Wait ’til ya actually see me in the act, Paula, LOL.

The last thing I suppose I should mention is that I’m the one on the left.  In case ya didn’t recognize me.  =D  Yeah and I’m wearing those big-ass capri pants again, so woohoo you get to see those, too.  Okay, here’s the link:

Be kind, lol.

All day today I’ve been hungry, which is weird because generally I don’t feel hungry anymore.  Well, unless I wait too long between meals and then I feel really hungry, like stomach-growling hungry.  No, this was more like wanna-snack-on-something hungry and yeah, I was surprised by it.  I ate two sugar-free Jellos and that didn’t help.  I ate two slices of low-carb bread with peanut butter and that helped for a while, but not long enough.  Even now, at almost midnight, I’m still “hungry.”  I hope it’s not like this tomorrow!
