DRUM ROLL PLEASE................
Ratta Tat Tat......
Well, Today is the day. I woke up with excitement and trepidation. I felt lighter, but when I see myself in the mirror, I am not noticing the changes. I strip down to my undies (because I don't want anything adding ANY extra ounces), and I step on that scale. This time, I feel like I am prepared to handle what it has to say to me, based upon the last couple of unofficial weigh-ins. I WAS WRONG!!!!
I was in no-way ready for what that scale had to say today. I even got on twice to make sure I didn't move or misread that number. It said, since the last weigh-in 17 days ago, I am down 21 pounds!!!!
DID YOU HEAR ME??? TWENTY ONE POUNDS!!!! DOWN!!!! In Seventeen Days!!!
NOW THAT IS HOW YOU ROCK THIS CHANGE IN LIFE STYLE PLAN!. That is what I expected at the first weigh in (and I am sure I was somewhere close to this because I felt the difference). I haven't been able to measure myself yet because Diana has her measuring tape. However, I am sure that I am down another dress size. I know I lost one last time too because my clothes are sliding off me and ill-filled in - if you know what I mean!
WOW - I AM WALKING ON SUNSHINE! NOW I KNOW WHAT THAT SONG MEANS!!! I am too hot to touch! Whoooo Hoooo!!!!! Don't worry, I am not going to lose my focus. I have shopped and prepared to go back to cycle one today, so no more beef, rice, potatoes and beans for me.
Wow! I have things to do. How do I calm down and go about my day? I know, I won't! I will just carry this smile and this feeling with me for as long as I can. And I will enjoy it! Thank you all for your support and encouragement. I truly could not do this without it!
wah wah wah
Not an hour later, there I was flying high, feeling good, when someone else comes along via the telephone to ruin my good spirits. It was my therapist, and I missed my appointment. I thought it was Thursday. She said she has to close my case because I missed 5 appointments this year. What??!! Really??? Is this how you help the people who need it? Arrgh! More bureaucratic garbage to deal with - that's right lady, make my life more of a living hell. That's the reason so many people have gone crazy! Shame on you!
On to brighter things....
For breakfast, I had the usual lemon water, yogurt, and grapes. I had an apple for snack, and a salad for lunch with tuna, fat free feta sprinkled in, and Jalapeno Ranch dressing by Lite House - are you listening - this dressing is fabulous. I had it at my dad's last weekend and fell in love, even though it isn't fat free or low fat. I use the dipping and shaking technique when using it. It's fantastic! Go get some! It would be great as a veggie dip too or on your chicken breast (kind of like your own spicy buffalo chicken -ooh, I am going to try that soon).
For dinner I had a chicken Cesar salad, with carrots and 4 grape tomatoes. Water, water, water in between I really have to drink more tea.
Remember when I said above that I was going to stay focused and not go crazy with the news of my success? Well, I changed my mind. I felt like I deserved a treat for all of that hard work, so I got wreckless and threw caution to the wind and treated myself! That's right, I earned it! I sat down and enjoyed a third yogurt today! I was hungry because my dinner salad was smaller than usual. What can I say, I am a wild and crazy girl! smiles...
