A little good, a little bad!
So, Friday I went for a physical/first visit with my new physician.
So, they bring you in... and my old arch nemesis... the DOCTOR'S SCALE... is beckoning me...
I get on it... the nurse fiddles around with it, mumbles the weight, writes it down... my eyes bug out. I'm like, "I'm sorry, what did you just say?" She's like "oh, it's 269". My mouth dropped open.
269? 269???? WHAT???
I WAS SO HAPPY! (you weren't expecting that, were you??)
This is the FIRST time in my life I've been HAPPY to hear what the doctor's scale says because it was actually LOWER than my one at home. That has NEVER happened before!!!
I was so happy--- plus, I have no medical history with this new doctor's office, so I could proudly start talking about me with the statement "Well, since Jan 1st, I've lost almost 30 pounds." How great is THAT? Instead of, "Jennifer, we need to talk about your weight. You need to start doing something about it" I could tell THEM "I am doing something! And I'm doing it WELL and I'm doing it in a healthy manner! And I am a SUCCESS!!!"
Oh, it was fabulous.
But that bad? Ugh--- two days later I ate like a PIG PIG PIG on Easter Sunday. Man, and I'm telling you, I actually did practice SOME RESTRAINT! (not as much as I could have, but I honestly ate HALF of what I would have eaten on Easter in the past). I typed in all my stuff on Fitday... and GASP... it was about 5500 calories!!!!!!!
And I ate HALF of what I normally would have in the past.
Disgusting, isn't it?
Well, I'm hoping all this food works its way out of my system. Easter morning I weighed in at 270. This morning (Monday) I weighed in at 275. And I know there's a lot of food floating around in there still.
So I'm hoping that I've got Today and Tomorrow to get this food flushed out of me... and hopefully the scale goes back down a bit. I weighed in at 275 last wednesday. So hopefully SOME loss will happen!!!!!
