Numbers.
When you're a math teacher, numbers are around you all the time. You got to know them well, have a good relationship with them and remember that there are some people in this world who wish numbers were never invented at all. Keep in mind, that some of them are in your class right now.
When you're on a diet, you develop a whole new relationship with numbers. They become your enemies and your friends, your hope and your despair.
On this note I'd like to share the good and the bad.
My goal for the end of November was 130 lbs. As Shabbos was right there at the end of the month, I was greeted by 136 on the scale on Motzei Shabbos. On one hand, it is an improvement from the good bad old 138.5 that greeted me after Shabbos for weeks. On the other hand, it is 6 lbs over my goal, set for the next day.
I even considered getting really offended at my scale.
Now - the good. I went to sleep really late last night and was really, really tired when I woke up today. So after kids went off to schools, I just went back to bed - without even a breakfast. I woke up around 1 pm and guess what!!!!!
I love my scale - 129!!!!! I know it won't be easy to get to see it again. But at least I did it. I broke the 130 barrier.
And I must admit - it's really, really nice to see something below 130. I haven't seen it for 6 years. Dh said her must celebrate!
