    kelijpa: I hope your pizza gain flushes back out soon...I'm sure it'll be very temporary, and pizza is almost always worth a small bump back up for a day or so.


    unwanted37: Getting close!


    --------------------------------------


    I got a little whoosh today with a weigh-in of 212.0. I didn't drink much water yesterday, so I may be dehydrated and could see a bit of a bump back up tomorrow, but I'm still happy for now, lol. It was just in time for my final weigh-in for my DietBet today as well, which means I would have hit my goal for the bet on BOTH my old scale and the new one...so, that's a relief! ...... I will report back on how the pot gets split amongst the winners, but I assume it will just be a few dollars on top of the original bet, maybe up to 10-15 on top. We will see. Like I said before, it was more about the not losing any money for me, more than winning any. Hope everyone else is having a good day, too!

    kelijpa: Coming down nicely already!


    gardenerjoy: Hope the sodium stays at bay and that you stay under that 97 mark permanently!


    kfunk: I wanted to let you know that we just checked the mail and the book arrived today! THANK YOU!!! It's the best thing about this cruddy day so far, so it arrived just in time to be a silver lining, lol.


    --------------------------------------


    I didn't get to weigh-in until 2 hours passed my usual weigh-in time, and the weigh-in was 211.8, so I think I may have been right about there being a gain today if I had weighed at the normal time. Not sure. Either way, I will take it for today, because I'm feeling pretty low this afternoon after having such a good day yesterday, so kind of on a rollercoaster...I ended up getting into my first ever fender bender while out and about trying to do some last minute holiday shopping, and I was the one who bumped into the other person, so I'm feeling like a total heel right now. Not the best time of year for this to happen, but - since I was the one at fault - at least there wasn't much damage to their vehicle. I'd feel even worse. She just has a cracked tail light and some scuff marks. She was fine, no injuries to either of us, since it was barely a bump. However, the angle was just right on my front end that I pushed in the corner of my bumper all the way, cracked my headlight, and messed up my wheel well cover, which is barely hanging on. Ugh. They were nice about it at least, and now I just have to eat that $500 deductible, because I know our insurance will cover both vehicles just fine after that. Anyway, feeling like a total bum today that I damaged her car and that I made Christmas stressful for us now on our end. Going to go sulk in a cup of coffee and hope tomorrow is a better day.

    ophelia: sorry about your fender bender. That is no fun at all. I always recommend long walks after accidents. If everyone is on their best behavior, everything gets handled civilly. But there's a mad rush of adrenaline that didn't get spent and it makes our moods odd for a couple of days.

    ophelia I am sorry to hear about your accident yesterday, I am glad that everyone was okay though! I hope that you have a better day today. I am glad that the book arrived!! You are moving down so nicely!! I am changing up my approach with weigh ins and trying a weekly Wednesday weigh in only. I was a little bummed that I wasn't down more today as I have been really good Sunday-current, but I am about a week out from my period so it makes sense.

    gardenerjoy: My walk last night definitely helped, so I think you are right. I'll be heading out again tonight, so hopefully that will continue to help sort out my stresses. And, yay for two days in a row!


    kfunk: I was considering switching to weekly weigh-ins in 2018, but we will see...I am still in that way-too-curious-for-my-own-good stage, lol. Let me know if that ends up working out better for you. I would take next week's weigh-in with a grain of salt if TOM is on the way, but I hope you start seeing more uplifting numbers with your weekly weigh-ins in general!


    --------------------------------------


    Weigh-in was the same today at 211.8, but I weighed in around the same time that I usually do this time, so I'll take that as a good sign.

    gardenerjoy: Glad the scale is being more consistent for you now!


    --------------------------------------


    Well, I'm keeping up my pattern of seeing a gain at the end of the week...weigh-in was back up a bit to 212.6 today. I think that's from having fajitas two nights in a row after eating the leftovers yesterday, since they are always really high in sodium. Going to drink more water today, because that has been kind of low this week, as well. Technically, my loss for the week is showing 4 lbs, but it's actually more like 2 lbs due to the different scales...but, from here on out, all the week-to-week changes will be consistent and true. The old readings are officially uninvolved past this point! I won't be mentioning them anymore from now on, I promise...lol.
