Question?
Good morning all.
I am happy today. It is a half day at work and that always makes me happy. It puts the office in a great mood. And I love that. The weather outside is perfect, at least for now, sun shining, birds chirping, wind blowing, you get the picture, perfect.
Why is it that when my husband sees me get on the scale it looks like all I have lost is a pound or two? But when I step on it in the morning I am down 5 lbs. Is there that much difference between night and morning? I am so confused! Last night, with my husband present, I stepped on the scale and it said 159. I so wanted him to see it at 155. Then when I jumped on it this morning, after he had gone to work, I was a 155. AUGH! I guess there is a difference because you eat and retain water during the day? Someone help me with my question…. Please.
I posted that in two places because I really need to understand that. I guess I will have to jump on the scale on Sunday morning when we are both home. I want to see that little needle go below 155. Then I will be convinced I can do this. I have gotten this far before and then screwed up and put it back on plus some. So all together, even though my weight ticker doesn’t say so, (because I didn’t want to put that I had gained 5 over my starting point) I have gone from 165 to 155. That is 10 pounds. So theatrically the next 5 should come off easy. But that is where the problem lies, from 155 to 150 seems to be the hardest 5 pound there is to lose.
Anyway, I think we are getting the stair climber this weekend and that should help with those pesky 5 pounds. I want to say goodbye to 155 forever.
Ok, on to work, even though I don’t want to I guess I need to get some done on this wonderful half day.

For most women, morning weight is the lowest, especially if you’ve gone to the bathroom. My evening, you’ve got the remains of a day’s food in you. Just remember it isn’t the scale that proves your progress, it’s what YOU see and feel. Hang in there, you can make it to your goal.
