I weighed in last night and remember I kept saying my home scale is staying the same and I didnt really "felt" like I lost! Well I am down another 4 lbs. I couldnt believe it, I am still kinda shocked.
My home scale is stupid! LOL

SO how is everyone doing today so far? My day started earlier than usual. I got to work at 6:30 and still yawning every 5 minutes. Then I have a project meeting to go to at 8, which will last till 9. Hopefully I wont fall asleep in there.

Hope everyone has a great OP day!
