Maintaining

I did not lose one single ounce nor did I gain one single ounce. Do you know how that really ticks me off? Imagine me with my arms tightly and squarely folded across my chest with a big fat "hmph" coming out of my mouth and my right foot tapping impatiently like a little child right now. *%^###@$****!!!!!

This cannot be good.

Now, let me admit to you that although I was very concious of everything that went in my mouth last week and ate NO FAST FOOD whatSOEVER, I did not TRACK my points. Clearly, this is a componet of success. So V, listen up, learn from me. You can think you are being good and in fact, you can BE good with what you eat. But unless you are absolutely sure you are eating every single last point that you are allotted, then you will not lose. If you don't eat all of your points (or can't prove it because you did not write it all down) then your body might think you are trying to starve yourself and hold onto all the excess it would have otherwise given up if properly nourished. I am lecturing you AND me. Mostly, I'm lecturing ME.

The woman who weighed me in actually said, "what did you think you'd do this week, lose or gain?" I could've knocked her block off. LOSE!! Ya think? I guess some people are in maintaining mode ya ya ya. I'm NOT.

Venting complete. Tracking beginning (again). Lesson learned. Everyone-not a word. Hush it. ;<)
