Wow…really?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m super stoked…not only did I meet my Perfect 10 Goal of losing 15 pounds since 1/1/10, but I also blasted out of the 230s and am now in 220land. That’s beyond awesome!
But…really?
This weekend was a disaster, I ate too much, I drank too much, I didn’t work out enough. Basically everything that could go wrong, did. At one point over the weekend the scale was even back up to 239…239!!!!! So despite eating right, running almost 6 miles, and drinking a sh*t ton of water yesterday, I was still expecting some gain.
And I was even prepared to laugh it off, and jokingly blame everyone else for it but myself (like my friends who wanted to go out and drink Friday AND Saturday, and my sister who had the audacity to turn 12 over the weekend and had a birthday dinner, for example…). I was going to be totally okay with some gain this week, instead of throwing a shit fit, because sometimes life just happens and there are more important things than the number on the scale.
So f*ck you scale, for screwing up my potential moment of clarity (but really thank you for being nice to me this week after all).
So yeah, I lost another pound somehow…WOOT!!!
In a totally unrelated note…have you seen my glasses? They’ve been MIA for a couple days now, and I am really REALLY started to realize how blurry my world is without them. I’m pretty sure they are in my room somewhere, and I know they are in the hard plastic case (WooT protection). But I’m in the midst of a major cleaning, so my room is kind of disasteresque, and I have no idea where they are. Search and rescue dogs are in route…
Congrats on busting out of the 230s!
As a long-time resident of the 220s, I welcome you to the neighbourhood. Be sure to turn the lights off when you leave.

Hehehe…why thank you, hopefully I won’t be here long (I’m sure its a nice place though), but I’ll be sure to turn the lights out.
I see I’m not the only early bird this morning, either.
Hey – I’m glad you lost, too! I happen to think that those weekends are important to help give us practice in picking back up on things come Monday. (Good practice for FitBloggin. YEAH)

Losing your glasses is so frustrating, at least when I lose mine it is. I keep an old pair around for occasions just like this.

Heh heh…I probably should have gotten a second pair, instead of spending a crap load of money on the one. But they were cool looking! Don’t do me alot of good if they are lost in the abyss
Hey, stumbled on your blog from Kimmi’s. Wanted to congratulate you on a pound loss! And for realizing that there ARE more important things than a number on that scale. But, I hate how you feel guilty both ways. If you celebrate with friends and family, you end up feeling like you betrayed yourself and vice versa. It’s a hard balance, so I’m glad you could shrug it off.
I’m learning how to say no to people right now. That’s probably one of my biggest weaknesses.
Anyway, keep up the good work! And, find those glasses!

Saying no to people? Oy, thats a HUGE one for me right now too…always has been. And your right, it sucks to feel guilty both ways, and its hard to maintain that balance.
Thanks for the congrats!
I’m also hoping to jump into the 220′s boat with you at my weigh-in tomorrow. Not to count my eggs before they hatch, my weight for the past 3 days has been promising that I’ll pull into the 220′s at tomorrow’s weigh-in!
Dang your sister for having a birthday! Dang your friends for MAKING you go out and have a good time.
You’re so resilient! But seriously, congrats on meeting your Perfect 10 Goal, that’s awesome! WooT!
My friends, always with the peer pressure…the jerks! And my sister? Well, that was just uncalled for on her part
I’ll save some room on the boat for you!!!
I hope you have a margarita waiting for me on the 220′s boat…

Your glasses are on the left under the magazine.

Oh crap, REALLY?! Which magazine though? Ugh.
Hey… you might not have expected it but TAKE IT! Wow, good job.
Thanks!!!! It was a shock, but I won’t ask anymore questions
Congrats on the loss and for reaching your P10 goal!
WooT P10! Thanks!
Woot! Congratulations on another loss! And don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
Hehe..I won’t!
Go kick some ass this week to stay in the 220s. A week’s spike in calories is generally OK; two weeks, not so much. Great job this week despite otherwise feeling like it wasn’t so great.
Especially since two weeks easily becomes three weeks, and etc…and etc… I want next week to be great and I want to feel great about it
Let’s see if we can manage that!
Hey congrats on the loss – that’s fantastic! Always nice to get into a new weight range!
Keep it up!

Crap…should we issue an amber alert, err..what would that be for eyewear, Mr. Magoo Alert?

Hey, aren’t you the one who told me to never question the scale (at least not when it’s good news)?
Good work man!

Yipey for you on your loss. Perfect 10 numbers and into the 120′s!! Way to go!
I am terrified myself to step on the scale as you can figure out why I have been a rollercoaster wreck for a while.
