So today was weigh-in number one with the illustrious "weight watchers." I have to say, I walked in with trepidation as good ole Mother Nature just has PERFECT timing. You girls know exactly what I mean. But I sucked it up and waited in the cattle line for my moment of truth.
7.6 lbs....gone, not gained people, GONE! Yes, yes I know Mrs. Leader that this "is not the usual nor the typical" but damnit let me have my moment! I will honestly say I froze on the scale, amazed by the number - yes it's still far too large of a number, but it's 7.6 lbs less than it was this time last week!
So thus begins my giddiness of waiting for the "yay, you lost 7.6 lbs this week"......*pop* hear that?! That's my bubble bursting! No accolades, no "way to go's"....just silence. Yeah, Thanks Mrs. Leader for forgetting me!
Sad part? Last week I was actually uncomfortable with all the prissy kudos handed out and the "5 lbs. stars" people were receiving. I mean really? That's what motivates people? Yep, seems it even motivates me...little did I know.
Positive part? A girl I have sat by twice now asked me how I had done and saw the disappointment. Alas, the light shone and I told her, and myself, that getting accolades wasn't the point. The point was, I lost 7.6 lbs!!! DUH PEOPLE!
So I'm going to enjoy that fact, and chalk up to that being part of the reason why I was flirting with random strange men in the grocery store today ;)
And speaking of the store! My friend that watches my munchkin during my meetings and I ventured into a new creative cooking experiment.....Southwest Potstickers! Interested? I just might share the recipe as they were DELISSHHHH!!!
