Weigh -in Wednesday 2/29

Oh man..... I was so nervous and uptight to go today because I was sick last week and when I am sick no amount of good food is going to make me feel better. Besides my daughter was here and I never want her or Seany to feel like they have to alter what they are eating to accommodate me. So we compromised... ICE CREAM makes everyone feel better, doesn't it?? And pizza is ok if you get the think crust and veggies, right?? And the margarita was to help me so I could sleep! And inbetween these treats I was being good, but I think I needed a break out of protein jail. And they way I felt I was not about to perform and Turbo Jam moves.... I would have been a hot mess trying!!I just want to say thank you to Court! You were awesome each time you asked if I could have things and tried to fix things I would eat. I so enjoyed your and the tiny man's time here, even though I was sick! So the deviations werent a bad thing....I needed it, and I'm a big girl, I knew what I was doing. So thanks for sharing with me.(So glad the tiny man wasn't sick!)

So I was off my routine enough that a couple days last week I put on the smaller scrub pants I had been fitting into and they didn't fit again!! Waaaaaahhhhhhhhh! It was frustrating, and I was cranky at myself. BUT the smaller top still fit! So I worked my way back onto my regime, and in a couple more days the smaller pants were back and fit ok...WHEW!!!! I hate to even think about backsliding. I am going to fit comfortably (as it can possibly be) in the airline seat for my trans- Atlantic flight to Scotland at the end of May (with Busty and Shaunda). I am also going to look a little better than Busty remembers me last, when I go to Idaho for their wedding March 17th. So I have some goals and work to do!!

So, although I have been tracking my weight since the sick week, I was still nervous to get on the scale today. I was excited when it showed a 1 lb weight loss!??! That is crappy for a two week weigh in (should have been at least 4#), but at least I did not weigh more than my last weigh-in! But here is the weird thing.....I also lost 8.5", half of that off the thighs (must have been all that ladder climbing and calisthenics I did while building my 8ft x 8 ft storage shelf, ALONE!!). So I'm not horrified, but now I need to be refocused. I admit to having become a BROCCOLI fiend!! Nom, Nom, Nom....
