Jami: Down .4
Justin: Down 1.0
Erg! See, this is exactly why I started the gorge days on a weekend day. Being snowed in and having a restricted diet means all we want to do is eat!!! All the same 'what-ifs' went through my head this morning too, with this second day of a small loss. But I didn't even lick any of the kids' food, so all I can do is chalk it up to the fact that I am a woman. For some reason us women seem to have plateaus more often than men. At the very least, I am 90% sure tomorrow will yield a two or more pound drop for me. :) I just want to break into the 150's, that's my first goal. 155 is my pre-pregnancy weight, and therefore another significant accomplishment.
So, my high school reunion just got announced. It's Memorial Day weekend, just over three months away. Now I understand that whoever planned it thought that the long weekend would help ensure a higher turnout, and I am sure they are right. At least there will be a higher turnout of people who live close. I, however, live 2000 miles away and the fact that it is on a holiday weekend makes it much more expensive for me to come. It just goes to show that they were thinking that only the people who stayed close were the ones they would want to keep in contact with. I'm not going, I decided. I keep in contact with the people I loved back then and Facebook keeps me updated on the rest.
Another funny story this weekend; we witnessed the truth of the phrase, "One douche makes us all douches." There's how much snow? Over two feet in the light places. So what does our douche neighbor do? Watch Justin clear out our two unreserved spots. It took him two hours. I let him eat an extra meal right after just because of all the effort it takes. Anyway, we were going insane, so we took the kids to the grocery store. Just for an hour. And what does this guy do? Drive 30 feet from his uncleared spot into ours!!! He couldn't have gone far because he didn't even bother to clear off his front nor rear windshield. Of course, this not only means we had to shovel out another spot, but the only one left is RESERVED. I'm sure the tow trucks aren't out today, but I know those people pay $50 a month for those spots and if it were me, I'd be pissed! So, I left a note on my windshield with our apologies and the description of the douche car that made us do it. How rude.
Back to the diet. Can I tell you that I am super frustrated? Justin has been having a harder time than I have yet he is losing weight more consistently. He even ate one of the kids' pigs-in-the-blanket yesterday with no negative result. And he's been eating an extra apple a day for a couple days now. Boo for working harder and getting less than equal results.
Also, Justin made the chili that Pam posted on her blog and it was AMAZING!!! It actually tasted so good that I gave my last couple of spoonfuls to Justin. There is no way that something that tasted that good wasn't food that I should have been having. Plus, it looked like more food than I normally eat in a serving. And what do I get for that? Crap loss of less than half a pound. What is confusing me most is I am still seeing noticeable results DAILY! So even though .4 on the scale sucks, I've already lost at least 2 inches in my mutt and one in my waist. We should have measured my thighs though, because that is where the biggest transformation is occurring. Just a few more days and my pant legs will be loose. :) Yay!!
Can't wait for work to distract me tomorrow!!

#1 Your story about the douchebag you encountered with the parking space made me smile..because I had an encounter with my neighbor today where he proved himself to be a douchebag also. So disappointing.... What happened to being neighborly!!
ReplyDelete#2 Whenever I had a zero loss day, or a low loss day I convinced myself that my body was using the day to reshape my body rather than lose numbers on the scale :0) Whatever makes you feel better!
