Well, ok...

This week's weigh-in says I lost three pounds. I should be really happy about that, right? Well, I'm not. I really wanted it to be 3.5 or 4 to make up for last week's nothing. Besides, if I had lost 3.5 to 4, I would be back in the 140s, and now I have to still be in the 150s - gross. I really want the scale to say 130s kind of numbers, and that seems so darn far away and unattainable at this rate.

There is a major psychological difference between the 140s and the 150s and it has to do with the fact that I work in a medical office. We have medical scales aplenty here, and they are that scary kind where you slide the weights back and forth... you know what I'm saying. Anyway, there are top sliders and bottom sliders, and the bottom one goes from 50, to 100 to 150 to 200... and I want that thing on 100, NOT 150!!!

I will not give up. I will keep on running. I will keep saying "no" to dessert and yes to vegetables. I will look at adding some weights for toning in my arms and do my pushups and planks at night. I will see the 140s next week, by hook or by crook!!!

way to go! I've got my 10 year reunion coming up so I'm trying to diet and run as well. I ate nothing but eggs, chicken and veggies today and also survived 30 minutes of running at 7:30 tonight, in 101 degrees with a heat index of 108... if that doesn't provide results I don't know what the heck will.

That heat is just plain crazy! You had to lose about 5 pounds of water weight alone in that run! You already look fantastic, lady.
