Not Down

Well tonight was a shock to me to say the least. I could tell I had lost a lot of weight and I was excited to see what the scale would say. Secretly I thought she would look up from her computer after the "gotcha" phrase with a big WOW on her lips as she handed me my book.

I decided to prolong the anticipation a little bit so I collected all of my things and headed into the room and slowly opened it up to find a 2.2 weight loss?? no what is that a .8 gain making my weight 222.2 WHAT!

For the amazing part I sat there and knew what it was. I had totally stayed within my points with even a few left and barely touched the 35 bonus ones. I had exercised worth an additional 12 points and didn't redeem any of those. For those that know me you know I struggle terribly with my cycle and I'm the night before with the most bloating of the month before the great appearance tomorrow. I know I lost weight and now I'm looking forward to next week's really nice loss.

It was nice to KNOW that I am doing the right things and it will pay off. The journey is helping me to stay calm and not worry AT ALL. I can honestly say I was more worried on how to convince you all that I'm not concerned and that I know my body and when I realized what today is it didn't surprise me.

I've completed Day 9 of my exercise challenge online with success every day and tonight won a workout DVD for tracking everyday and I had 56 sustainable foods on my list for the week : )

Keep doing the right things and it will take you in the right direction. DOWN Down down down down down.

Looking Up even though I'm not down at least this week!

Thank you God and friends for your prayers and support.
