SCALE GAMES

2 Replies

Good Monday Morning to all. I woke up definitely feeling like I did great last week. I feel and I think I look a little smaller. I am in total control of my food, and I have been keeping up on my workouts, classes, and my speed walking. My stomach definitely is getting flatter.

I weigh in today after work, and I usually do not give in to scale games. I get on the scale once a week at Weight Watchers and I get on with it.

This morning I was impatient, and if you ask my husband he will tell you impatience is one of my flaws. I broke down and got on the scale at home, twice. Now when I get on the scale at Weight Watchers later in the afternoon the result could be very different outcome. I am not going to do that anymore, it is just messing with my head and I do not have the opportunity to weigh in at Weight Watchers without clothes. Well, last week I took my top off, hey there was no one there and I asked first. Scale games, it is just another form of  weight obsession and I am trying to curtail all of those old self destructing habits.

So Monday weigh in at Weight Watchers, I will post my new weight Tuesday morning. 

I am going to just remind myself that I am doing everything right, and I am on my path to my first ten pound loss and my first charity. I am getting fit with my workouts too. Rome was not built in a day and I did not gain this weight overnight. I will reach deep inside myself and find the patience to go the distance without driving myself crazy with scale games.


Wishing you a beautiful Monday,

WEIGH IN MONDAY

Monday was weigh in, and I lost a 1.5 pounds. It was less than I expected, but it was good that I did not gain that week being female and all. The Weight Watchers lady said I was lucky I did not gain. So I am now 196 pounds. Going down the healthy, slow way. I intend to lose the weight, get fit, and keep it off the healthy way. She suggested I eat a more substantial breakfast than fruit and a protein bar. My argument is at 7:00 am I am lucky I can eat that. I know breakfast is the most important meal of the day but I cannot eat much this early. I am lucky I can eat something at all.

Work today, then a workout with trainer/friend Mike.  I am a little tired and I am dragging a bit but I will pick it up as the morning progresses. More photos to follow soon, it seems I need a new battery for my digital camera. 

So today, no words of wisdom or poetry, I am too tired and my eyes are not properly focused as of yet.  Just a quick update on my progress so far. I admit I was a bit disappointed, but I cannot let that get me down. I lost over a pound. Plus I have heard not all victories are on the scale. So onward and forward it is. Wishing everyone a beautiful Tuesday.

MONDAY WEIGH IN AND WISDOM

Today is Monday, and my first weigh in. Monday and weight, two things that are not so popular, but I am totally excited for my first weigh in. Monday, well I am a little sleepy thanks to our two Siamese cats Spanky and Rascal. They think three am is jungle gym time. Let’s just say the little Rascals are not so popular with me this morning as I make my way to begin my day and week. They are our babies but for some reason they only mess with me at night, and not my husband. Coffee is definitely needed today. I feel I had a successful week but I will see what the scale says later after work. Tomorrow is my second workout with Mike, my trainer/friend. This is a commitment but one that makes me happy and totally inspired and motivated. Bring it on, burpees and all.

After my first ten pounds I am volunteering with the Monday Night Mission, and donating food. I wrote a post about all of the wonderful selfless acts they do to keep the people at Skid Row in Los Angeles from being hungry. They are a blessing to the people of Skid Row and I am humbled by all that they do.

Homeless people have always touched my heart, and the fact that it could be anyone. No one on this earth is better than you or me, we are all the same. I was in NYC and I saw an older homeless woman crying on the street, and that night I wrote this poem. I do not rhyme usually but this one came to me in a rhyme. Remember, everyone has a story and everyone is someone important in the scheme of life. We are all one, we are all connected.

WALK IN EMPATHY
Step into my worn shoes,
How would you feel?
When People walk by,
Forgetting you are real.
Beyond your reach,
Hopes of a warm meal;
Or a place to lay your head,
To let your weary body heal.
Your spirit is broken,
But your head held high;
Only to be ignored,
By oblivious eyes.
A face with no name,
Is what they see;
Unloved, forgotten,
Throughout society.
Such lonely solitude,
Unanswered prayers;
Hopelessness and sorrow,
Does no one care?
Who will miss you
When it’s your time to go?
Will anyone remember,
Your name is not John Doe.
