We talk a lot about non-scale-victories on TSFL, and I think I've had a few. I went to the gym (ON A WEEKEND) yesterday and did a little swimming while R was in Hebrew school, for example.
But it's nice to celebrate some scale-victories too.
Today I weighed in and not only did the scale go down, but it was under 200lbs for the first time since, probably, the summer. I was afraid I might not see a number like that again. I went to the doctor's office (for an unrelated issue) and they didn't have to slide that 50lb marker up to 200.
I have to remember this good feeling because I know how fragile it is. There is no school today, so my sister came over with her 3 kids, and all 5 cousins baked and decorated cupcakes together. I'd be lying if I said that my cake-batter and/or frosting covered finger didn't wind up in my mouth from time to time. I have to be careful, and if my results slow down this week, I probably have something to point to.
I HAVE been feeling a bit more hungry the past day or two. I get scared about breaking fat burn any time I have a slight transgression, but I'm wondering if maybe the extra physical exercise is impacting it a bit. I guess time will tell because if I keep losing weight, then I know I'm still in fat-burn.
I am making a baked ziti for the kids (and carbohydrate-eating adults) tonight, and I prepared a cheesy spaghetti squash casserole dish for myself (and whoever else wants it). I restocked on zuchini and lettuce and cucumbers and all that other veggie goodness for the week. I've got this!
