Weight going in right direction

Big sigh of relief. Weight back down to 203.4 this morning. (Tuesday was 205.8) One weird thing I have discovered. If I wake up early and need to go to the bathroom, I weigh myself. Go back to sleep and then when I wake up again, weigh again. (I know, I'm pretty obsessed!) ;-) I will weigh up to two pounds LESS at the later time. If I get at least 8 hours of sleep, I will weigh less than if I have to get up earlier and not get the full 8 hours. Weird, huh? I don't understand it, but I will go by the later weight, of course. LOL Took measurements today, too and I've lost an inch off my waist. Hooray! I feel energized and ready to get back on track.

My husband left yesterday for 10 days in Korea. We've been married almost 20 years and I just HATE it when he's gone. I've been getting to bed earlier lately so I can get up with him in the morning. We so enjoyed having breakfasts together in England every morning and I told him I wished he didn't get up so early for work, so he has been getting up a bit later so I can get up with him. (I just couldn't do the 5:30 thing every day!) Last night, I went to bed late - it's like I just can't bear to go to bed when he's not there beside me. It doesn't feel right! So I slept in until 11am. Tonight I'll try to get to bed sooner so I don't get out of my good habits. I have noticed a difference in my health with the more regular hours. Much improved!

God has blessed me with such a wonderful hubby. I'm incredibly grateful to Him. I guess that's a big part of my health. :-) Now if we can just get back to our ballroom dancing - I enjoy that kind of exercise and have missed it due to our crazy summer with travels and such!

Tuesday Weigh-In

Yuck. I'm up a pound (205.8) and have not been feeling well. So bleah, bleah, bleah.

Tuesday weigh-in

I'm still maintaining with that 0.2 gain (204.2) and I'm OK with that. My knee has really been sore so I've been holding off on cardio, but doing stretching and the Shapely Secrets and Gym Bar workouts. Only having occasional chocolate treats I brought home from England. ;-) I learned NOT to have any before bed, though. One night I did and the next morning woke up with a KILLER chocolate hangover headache. Not good. If I have a few things in the morning, I'm OK. ;-)

Oh, and a treat recommendation: I bought the Smart Ones Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream sundae. One is 3 points for WW and just 170 calories. They are YUMMY!

Another: the 100 calorie packs of cookies. The Oreo ones are OK, the best ones are the Keebler Fudge Shoppe Grasshoppers. Taste almost exactly like GS Thin Mints!

Weight today

Weight the day before I left for London: 204
Weight this morning: 204.2
Yay! :-)

Feeling even better

OK, this morning I was only TWO pounds above where I started before leaving for my trip to England. So I know this can be a temporary thing. Hooray! And now my hubby is home, too so all is right with the world. ;-)

Tuesday weigh-in

Oh, I just refuse! I'm still stopped up and bloated from traveling. The scale was not kind this morning. (I think it's pouting and paying me back for leaving it behind while I traveled!) My ankles did go down to almost normal on Sunday, then I was on my feet all day at the county fair with my Heritage Makers business. So I'm going to wait until I'm back in my routine and I'll report in with numbers next week. Surely this isn't permanent sabotage. But ya know what, it was TOTALLY worth it. I had a ball in England. ;-)
Had my protein shake and sat outside in the sun for 15 minutes. Getting back in the saddle!

Oh, considering how very MUCH I walked every day while in England, I really think it's unfair that I didn't lose 5 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-D

Home again!

Oh, dear. I got on the scale after flying all day from England. Now, I did drink a LOT of water the entire week, at least 3 liters a day. And now, it has all accumulated in my ANKLES! Not pretty! And I'm not even going to pay attention to that number on the scale. I'm going to give myself a couple of days to adjust back to altitude. Spent some time in the hot tub until the lightning chased me in. Now, I'm nodding off. So I need to get to bed! So goodnight for now!
