207.4
After weeks of constantly seeing anything from 208 to 212, this morning to checking the scale only to see 207.4 was sheer elation. For the past three weeks I have been at 1200 calories a day, most days I tend to fall over by 100 calories at least. It was getting harder and harder to every day eat so little with no reward. However there was the issue of water weight, my period was five days late and water starts showing up a week a head of time so for two weeks the scale could not be trusted. Heck it just ended yesterday so I may still be harboring water.
Of course, I tell my mother and I hear, "ounces vary so much, I wouldn't get excited over a few ounces." Yes, please, piss a little harder on my happiness. But I have not seen the scale go below 208 in what feels like ages.
I had my annual on May 20th. Odd my scale at home said 209 but when I went in to see him it was already a little over 214, then again my primary care physician once even told me the scale in their office is a good five pounds off. Sometimes apparently five pounds helps set off alarm bells for some people. My doctor told me that it could take up to a year for us to get pregnant, so not to panic if we didn't "get pregnant in five minutes." I am keeping this in mind as I go along. There is a chance I could hit my goal of 180 before we conceive. There is also the chance that I may not even make it to "onederland" before conceiving. However I wont worry about that until we get there. Heck, I probably wont worry at all.
So here I am still doing 1200 calories, I really REALLY need to get into exercising more, but I just feel that word is awful. I hate to be watched exercising and I hate doing things like working out to a dvd. I also bought an exercise bike a couple years ago but getting the motivation to get on it just eludes me, you would think I would be all over it since how many calories it burns with me trying to stick to 1200. I need to get back on it and I need to walk more. I walked to a ice cream shop last Friday, meaning I walked about 3 miles round trip and for one scoop of sherbet that isnt too bad. Pedometer said I burned 400 calories but I only walked 7200 steps? That sounds wrong, I think I need to replace my battery.
Oh well. Hopefully by next Saturday the scale will budge a little more in the right direction because those "few ounces" that don't matter, add up.
