1st Weigh In

I was convinced that I wasn't losing weight but I was determined to wait to weigh myself and today was the day. Drum roll please...I lost 7.8 pounds! (Lets just call it 8, shall we!?) Now, there are a few things about this that need to be kept in mind:

1. My first weigh in was in the afternoon - 3pm - whereas today I did it first thing in the morning so you know, maybe there's a discrepancy? In the future, I'll always weigh myself on Fridays, first thing. 
2. This is a big number and I need to remember that each week won't be like this. They say the first couple weeks of a diet you're losing a lot of water weight etc. so you tend to lose more as your body acclimates to the new way of eating.
3. I've been crazy meticulous about my eating and drinking. I haven't gone over any of my daily points so I haven't tapped into my weekly points yet. I don't expect it to be that way every week which may mean I'm not losing as much as fast. And this is fine. As Maggie said, it took a while to put the weight on so it's going to take a while to take it off. Patience is a virtue. 

And delivery day is here!!! Our bed will be delivered today and it seems like I've been waiting for a month! So much anticipation! I hope the installation goes smoothly! Our window for delivery is 2:15-4:15 which means I need to leave after 6th period today to get home in time (Jim can't do it). Thankfully, my 7th period class is a GI and there are two others that can keep an eye on my kids (thank you Lisa!). I will certainly take pics of my bed because I know everyone is as excited as I am!

And that's all I've got. This weekend is our annual log-splitting weekend. Our neighbor Jordan is getting a splitter and the three of us will crank out as much as we can on Sunday. This bed is coming just in time because you know I'm going to be crazy sore and will need a restful and therapeutic sleep!

K - happy Friday! TGIF!!!  (It was a good week by the way...school so far is going swimmingly. Knock on wood!!! I just jinxed myself.) Later!
