Day 1 with a scale...
I DROPPED 3 lbs!!!
This morning I weighed in at 185. *PHEW* It feel good to be going the other direction!!
I drank so much water yesterday that last night I had to get up and go pee twice. :/
On the bad side... I have now caught the fever/sore throat/headache that has been going around our house. No workout for me today... but sticking 100% to my diet and water!!

The scale has returned...
I realized the other day that I could not do this healthy lifestyle thing without my scale. It is literally the key to my success. I know, most people think it dreadful that I weigh myself every day... and for some people it could be a downfall.. but here is how it works for me.
In the past 6 weeks I have had my entire home in boxes. I have moved across the country and have been a guest in someone elses house. I live out of a suitcase full of clothes that are no longer comfortable... ok, they are too damn tight to even wear... .and I have no clue where I am at as far as my weight.
This has led to me eating whatever food is offered. ( I dont want to be rude) Fast food is , well, faster for me lately. Not having my own kitchen to cook in is debilitating.
Today I pulled up my fat pants and squeezed into them. I went out and did 30 minutes on my bike, had a glass or 3 of water and a banana. I then loaded the kids in the car and went to the nearest Wally World and got the cheapest scale they had. ($7.99) I drove all the way home, unloaded the kids, went to the bathroom and stripped.
I am officially 188 lbs. That is a GAIN of 15 lbs in 6 weeks. YUCK!!!!
So, how will the scale help me you wonder? Every morning I weigh myself. If I am up a pound I tend to workout harder, drink more water and watch what I eat. If the scale is down a pound, well, I do the exact same thing... but am usually smiling the rest of the day.
Not knowing my number has given me the chance to completely ignore the fact that I am in a spiraling suction of toilet water down to the bottom of this terrible journey I started years ago. I can't let it keep going.
I have my secret weapon now... lets see what I can do with it!!
