I Banish Thee!!



Banish thee demon scale!!!  *groan*

Okay so I'm almost a month in.  I was hoping for a little more than five pounds to disappear.  Yes, yes you say "oh well that's still an average of a little over a pound a week".  HOGWASH!  I lost 5 pounds the first week.  Since then the scale has not budged.  It will tease up and down within a pound.

This morning I was excited when it seemed my demon scale decided to tell me I had lost a pound.
Great! Maybe I've finally broken through that... yeah no.  In my excitement I forgot what my weight was when I went to document it.. so back I go and there it is again... my old weight.  The same one I've seen for the past three weeks.  Okay so how did I gain a pound in thirty minutes without consuming a darn thing?  *sigh* Stupid scale.  Forget you.

I know I'm getting somewhere because I am able to keep up with my intervals in C25K.  Yesterday I even hit 2 miles before the podcast was up (a first for me).  My clothes are also fitting better, and I don't think I look quite as bloated as I did a month ago.  So I think these are the things I'm going to go on.  I've given up weighing every day, or regularly for that matter.  At least for now.

I'm still mad that I haven't eaten chinese, made fried donuts, eaten a whole medium thin crust pizza by myself in one sitting, or eaten a whole box of macaroni in over a month.. and here I am.  Not as far along as I thought I would be.

Blah.

Time to go pack my snacks and my lean cuisine for work.  I refuse to let my frustration talk me into a hot fudge sundae from McD's.. but man oh man how good that sounds....
