Shock and awe-some!

ARE U KIDDING? ARE YOU SURE?
That would be what I hollered at my super scale this morning when the numbers appeared. Clearly in disbelief, I stepped off, let it clear and stepped on again.

WOW! WHOA! FOR REAL?!?

The weight came up, but there was an E where my body fat% should be, so I stepped off and let it clear for a third measurement, hoping against hope that it would say the same thing a third time ...

Still an E in the bottom corner, but also still 168.8 in the big numbers across the screen! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Considering how disappointing the numbers have been the past few weeks, losing 5 pounds in one week seems shocking. But I'll definitely take it! I recreated my face and took a photo for your enjoyment ;-)

Each of the past few weeks I was honestly somewhat surprised when the scale didn't show any lose. Sure, there wasn't as much exercise, but there wasn't as much eating either. Looking back now, I think the issue was stress.

On the Biggest Loser, they always say stress makes you retain water and such and I'm taking that to heart. I bought a yoga mat last night and did some poses and slept better than I have in weeks. Sadie worked out with me - she also slept pretty soundly.

This has been a wonderful week for me, full of affirmation and motivation. Also, it means that I am more than half way down the path to reaching my goal!!! Technically I should weight 164 today, if I were officially on schedule, but since I was so behind the last few weeks (8.8 pounds behind last week), I am thrilled to be catching up!

I hope everyone has a good week, too.  Just don't let it stress you - because that might be what's holding you back!
