I got on the scale around five different times this morning because I couldn't believe what I was seeing and THEN I made Lila get on the scale to see if there was just something wrong with the scale itself (you know, low battery or something). When I get on the scale I sort of visualize the number that I want to pop up on the screen. When the number came in this morning, it was 3 pounds less than the number I hoped for in my wildest fantasy.
My body went through some sort of miraculous change this week. I could sort of feel it happening.
I worked hard. I restricted calories. My period ended, which is certainly partially responsible for my dip. I worked up a sweat at least once each day... I felt less hungry and more in control of my eating habits and body all week. And I certainly do feel slimmer.
Because I lost 8 pounds in one week.
That doesn't seem possible, right?
I know.
I feel embarrassed to admit that it happened because I don't feel that it's possible and if I read as much on someone else's blog I'd think that it was a lie or a mistake. But it must be possible because it did happen. So, I am not going to complain about this or ever expect that it happens again. Also, if I do not lose ANY weight this week, I will be okay with that. I am just going to appreciate this and consider it some sort of gift from the universe. Maybe I'm getting a big pay off for sticking with my weight loss plan even when times were tough and I wasn't losing at all? Who knows?
What I do know is that I have lost 26 pounds!!!!!!
that is awesome and totally possible. strange, but possible. go go go! =) you have serious will power this week to, avoiding smores and cupcakes of yum! maybe it is a reward for behaving so well.
