The title says it all.
It has been many moons since I've been on the scale, and at this point, it will only be bad news. I'm not sure my delicate constitution can take it right now.
I'd blame it on the rain, à la Milli Vanilli, but that would be a world-class cop-out. My faithful readers (all three of you) deserve more.
Maybe I'll be able to come back in a week or so and give it to you.

FIT
A side effect of getting fit is losing weight. But losing weight doesn't necessarily mean you are fit.

1.1.11
Uncharacteristically optimistic going into a new year.
The last two months of 2010 saw me fall off the FIT wagon, but I'm down - not out.
LOOKOUT!

Zzzzzzzz
Flannel sheets should be illegal. They are preventing my goal of not hitting snooze five times each morning.
This is a good problem to have.

Stalled
A cold, the evil Thanksgiving holiday, and a general blahness have led to extreme sloth in the last three weeks. So getting on the scale today was frightening.
With more than a little surprise, I saw only a four pound gain over two weeks since last weigh-in. I had braced myself for worse. Yay, me. Sort of.
Got to get back on track.
The past week of no work and all play has proven an elixir to my weary soul. Even so, the prospect of work tomorrow is demoralizing. I keep forcing myself not to take "just one peek" at my work email. It would spiral into a complete review of my inbox, and an action plan for tomorrow morning. Best to enjoy what is left of the weekend.
Many fun times over the past 9 days.
Visited my peeps in NOVA. Met Marleigh - the sweetest American bull dog. She wouldn't fit in my bag, or she would have come home with me. Actually, it was fear of the hub's reaction to dragging home a dog that kept me from stealing her!
Saw LauraLea and Tripp Fabulous. Seven months pregnant and still rockin' - that's one tough lady!
Shopping on Monday with Courtney. She who still hasn't guest blogged. Hint, hint... Managed to finally replace my falling apart shoes. I hate shopping.
Tuesday napped through a coffee date with my favorite bartender, Xtina. She has forgiven me.
Wednesday through Friday visited the hometown. Late lunch and coffee with mom, Sarah, and WALT at the local greasy spoon. Mmm...chocolate chip waffle (four pounds, remember...I did half with my mom, at least).
Saturday another Megan sighting, this time on my turf. Took her and her momma to my favorite local coffee shop. They were duly charmed.
Last night slumbered in my bed with new flannel sheets. This morning - extra difficult crawling out of bed.
I love fall.

Interesting
Another week...and, well, another two actually, since I didn't get around to checking in last weekend.
It wasn't ENTIRELY because I gained two pounds, but that fact didn't exactly inspire me to post.
So imagine my surprise when I discovered a drop of eight pounds on the scale today. That's a net drop of six pounds from two weeks ago. (Didn't think you'd learn some math on this here blog, did ya?)
The surprise was exacerbated by the fact I really wasn't on my best behavior this week. I didn't work overly hard for it, but I'll take it. Maybe it's the power of somewhat positive thinking?
This past week held a visit to the local "big city" to see Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper in concert. Yeah. Basically awesome. I think Alice Cooper and Dick Clark use the same, um, preservation expert.
Hubby and I are still enjoying Extreme Decluttering 2010 - The Event. I won't say we had much to get rid of in the first place, but there was room for improvement. Was it watching all those episodes of Horders that drove us to this? Probably.
It feels good to lose weight of all kinds.

Surprise
Color me shocked, as I discovered a one pound drop on the scale this morning. It was Customer Service Week at ye old work place, and that meant an abundance of food. I also enjoyed several meals out, and didn't exactly go for the lite menu at all of them, if you know what I mean.
I was hoping for stasis, at best, so seeing a slight drop makes me happy. It means that keeping up activity is key. It means that watching portion size and still eating what I want is working.
It means that there is hope that I can live a normal life without being obsessed with counting calories and exercising compulsively.
It means I might be able to do this after all.
