So, in the beginning, I said I was in this to be healthy and that the number on the scale didn’t matter to me.  That’s a load of crap.  If that was the truth, why do I have a scale attached to my hip? I must weigh myself 3 times a day. I have always been like this while dieting.  In fact, I remember having conversations with my Father In Law about B.P. and A.P. weigh- ins (before pee/poop and after pee/poop. Roll eyes).For the most part, it’s true. I am in this to be healthy.  I made up all the aspects of The Rule of Three Diet because of the healthy recommendations by all the health gurus and associations.   It’s just that I’m finding myself disappointed if I’m not down and I’ve done well.  I think I learned this during my time on Weight Watcher’s.  I did so well, I could pretty acurately predict when I would be down even one pound.  I did work-out while on Weight Watchers, but not at the intensity I am now.  I think the strength training I’m doing now is slowing down the weight loss process.  I know I am gaining muscle, and losing fat, and muscle weighs more than fat, yada yada. I just really want to say, “I weigh 130″ again. How screwy is that? Is that a mental thing? How do I get over that? I need help. How am I supposed to help you if I’m caught up in all the same traps? Any ideas?

I’m not sure why, but I’m up 2 pounds today.  This is the reason that you may not want to weigh in every day.  If something like this can discourage you or send you into an I’ve-already-failed-so-why-not-eat-that-brownie mood, then DO NOT weigh in every day.  This two pounds is either water weight, because I didn’t eat my 3rd snack, or the scale was wrong yesterday morning. No, I still haven’t gotten a new scale.  I was planning on going to the wineries today with my friends and had saved up 2.5 cheats for the occasion.  They all flaked on me, and I ended up at the In-Law’s for dinner.  My mother in law is one of the healthiest people I know, so I was not worried about eating there. I’m glad I had some cheats left though because she cooked ribs, baked french fries and cole slaw.  I needed to use one cheat because ribs are not a lean cut of meat.  I didn’t need to use cheats for the BBQ sauce or the cole slaw because they were sugar free.  The fries were baked with a bit of EVOO and spices.  I decided to use my last cheat and a half for the week on wine when I got home. (big smile)
