Today I saw a gain of two pounds on the scale. One of the nicest things on the planet? Seeing a gain and not freaking out. I went up by about two pounds, but that is still less than I was at last week, so obviously I’m happy. Even despite all that, I think the best part isn’t being less than last week but being okay with the gain I saw this morning.
Sure, I want to do something about it, but it didn’t ruin my day. I just thought about all the things I did yesterday (including not drinking enough water), other factors that could contribute (week before TOM) and that was that. I’m going to do better today. And there you have it.
I guess I’m just stunned over the fact that I can take that sort of thing now. Granted I may have felt differently about a four pound gain, but the best thing about this diet is that my weight doesn’t instantly shoot up huge amount by just thinking about ‘naughty’ things.
Other things are going well. I started the second week (I’m a week behind Cammy *waves*) of the challenge this morning, and I must say that I’m not fond of squats. Hehe. However, I am recovering better and faster than I did in the very beginning, so that is a plus.
I’m having a hard time imagining being any thinner than I am at the moment. I’ve tightened up a bit on my stomach and definitely around my face and neck, but it has been so incredibly long since I was in my 220s (almost there!) that I’m wondering what it (and beyond) will be like.
Wonderful, I’m sure.
I hope you all are doing very well.

Sorry about the gain, but good for YOU for taking it stride and seeing it as the small blip it very likely is.
And way to GO on your challenge! I would tell you that week 2 gets easier, but I’m afraid my nose would grow longer.
I do think you’ll find the squats easier as time goes on.
Have a great week!

Thank you for stopping by.
The squats are moving up the list of my mortal enemies, but it is getting easier. 
Thank goodness!

This is my first time by. I didn’t figure out all the initials. TOM, LW, CW,… So how much have you lost? Are those squats and pushup figures for a day, week, … This looks like a great site and I hope to visit often. I’ve got to run and get you on my bloglines list now.
