Woohoo! I was playing musical scales again. Lost first round. Was getting ready to leave for a trip on weigh-in day. And, as described above, it was a game of "ghost pounds" roulette, but I won! Normally I would have exercised to assure success, but did not have time, what with my neurotic putting off - as usual - of packing (and still forgot a couple of shirts - had to wear the TWO I brought twicet!).
I really went to town on the eating, having three up days in a row, so obviously the weight today is abnormally high. It'll be interesting to see if I'll make my goal by Sunday. It's going to be a freakout to be in the 104s, whenever it happens!

The halfway total looks great ... but it was based on a bump UP at the end of June/beginning of July. I am still above where I was three weeks ago. OH WELL.

I don't think there's any way I'll make weight (104.6!) this week, so I've hatched a diabolical plan. So I don't miss my up day on Sunday, I'll fast Saturday - tomorrow - and double up calories on Sunday (for a total of 2400), and not worry about making weight until next Sunday. Whoohoo!
Summer time, summer time, sum-sum-summer time, summer tiiiiiiiiiiiiime!

This is SO MUCH WORK. I definitely let my body get used to being at a higher weight. As I say so often now: OH WELL. Lotsa eye-rolling too!

That's really INCREDIBLE, Emma! I know you've worked so hard to get there. It really is tough, but I love looking back at the week, and seeing what has been done through concerted effort.
If it was easy, the diet industry wouldn't be the billion dollar industry that it is! What we'd - I'd - really like is an easy way to eat what I want, not exercise, and effortlessly lose weight. It's actually, unfortunately, the opposite.
But maybe I shouldn't say "unfortunately." It's more than fortunate that we're all paying attention to the quality of food we eat more, as well as the quantity, and getting more exercise. These actions will result in longer, happier lives, in which we preserve our health and our looks. I'd say those things are well worth the effort we're all putting in.
Again, good going!

Happy AND healthy - a great combination! Way to go, Alexis.
My diabolical plan was foiled - CURSES! - DH wants to go to a movie today, so fasting is out. Oh, well, that means no-butter tub of popcorn and diet Coke for dinner - YAY!!
Lotsa eye-rolling too!
