How is this even possible???

OK SO SOMEONE CLUE ME IN! I went to the doctor with a broken foot and was weighed. Only one week later, I returned. I had been sick and couldn't swallow for 2 days and had a fever for three. I did not eat much at all because, of course, I couldn't swallow. When the nurse weighed me, I had GAINED a pound from the previous week! I can't see how that is possible. Unless Sarah had put her foot on the scale too. Ridiculous.
Yes, GWR, I too am starting all over again. We need to get serious about this thing. REALLY serious. No more foolin around for me. I can and will. I'll keep you guys posted and you do the same.

Down by Four and I Can Do MORE!

Why are there no posts for the month of May? What's the deal here? I know, Final exams. That's the problem. Anyway, back on track and glad to report that I am down 4 big pounds. And they really were BIG. Those first few pounds are all about reconditioning your mind to being on a budget. I have been living free, just eating whatever whenever even since I came home from California in December. Come to think of it, I ate pretty much whatever when I was there for all of November so I had to recondition my mind. It's easier today because I am not operating on the habit of popping in something all the time. Now my brain say, "let's do something lighter today" or "Its not time to eat yet" or something similar. I have even made a ton of cookies to mail and the scale has been consistenly down. I'm so proud of these 4 pounds! When we started, I said I needed to lose 47 pounds. I decreased that to just 7 pounds so I could get myself mentally started. Glenna W R.... maybe you only need to drop those 6 pounds!! LOL
