My scale almost took a flight through the window this morning at 6am. Not because it wouldn't work, but because it thought telling me I'd only lost 0.4 lbs this week was funny! I knew that couldn't be right because I had eaten about 1/2 the normal calories and increased my activity as well. In disgust, I climbed back under the covers and dreamed of a scale that wasn't out to get me.
At 8:30am I decided to give the scale one more chance to stop lying to me and give me the accurate number. Lucky for the scale, it indicated I lost 2.8 lbs this week.
Not quite the big number you usually hear about people losing the first week of a new diet and exercise routine but a good loss, nonetheless! I had to give myself a pep talk and remember that any loss on the scale is a gain for my health and well being...no matter how small.
On to my Non-Scale Victory (NSV). For my sons birthday party today we had pizza and cupcakes. I managed to avoid eating either one. Instead, I came home and I'm making rice and sauteed veggies for lunch. Gonna save myself a ton of calories and heartburn later.
Darn it, ate 2 pieces of pizza for dinner but still under points!
