Monday is my weigh-in day, and I try to be pretty consistent with the time that I weigh in. This evening before dinner, I broke into Joy and Eric's house and used their scale. I've been wondering lately if there's a problem with me using several different scales to track my weight. I used the one in Tom & Rikki's house for a few weeks, then jumped to Joy & Eric's. I'll probably use Tom & Rikki's next week again. I guess we'll find out next week how different they are. I'll just prepare myself with the typical excuse (oh, I used a different scale, it's not my fault!). By the way, for those of you who are still irritated that I broke into Joy & Eric's house, I exaggerated. I asked them if I could borrow their scale, then I went in. I'm not that rude, geez.
Anyway, so I weighed in last night at a wonderful 1.8 pounds lighter than last week! Yay for Corrie and her awesomeness (you see I have no problem praising myself. It comes quite naturally. One of my top love languages is words of affirmation, and giving myself those words in no way cheapens them)! I've watched a few episodes of the Biggest Loser (and by 'a few' I mean that I am pretty much addicted), and I know that if anyone ever lost 1.8 pounds on that show, they would most likely get kicked off (Or be accused of cheating! Remember the red chick from this season? I did not like her), because 1.8 is not a great percentage for someone who weighs over 300 pounds. So usually, unless they get like 5-10 pounds, they're not very happy.
I, however, am thrilled with whatever numbers I get! I'm not buying into the whole 'lose weight fast' thing. I tried that for enough years to know that it certainly works, but not for long. Sure, I could lose 10 pounds by next week if I wanted to. But I could also gain those 10 pounds back the week after, and I probably would! As long as the number on the scale this week is lower than the number from last week, I don't really care. I'm in no hurry to get skinny. I mean, seriously, what's happening in 2 weeks that I need to be skinny for? Nothing. Nothing at all. Not worth it, people. My goal is to be looking good for the cruise I'm going on this summer, and it's in June, so there's still plenty of time.
Oh, and one more great thing about yesterday! I was pretty smart with my meals and didn't snack at all, so I got to have a Reeses miniature peanut butter cup and a can of Dr. Pepper last night! They were both delicious. I savored every bite/sip. Those two together are quite possibly the world's most perfect combination.
