Monday, Monday...

OFFICIAL WEIGH IN DOWN!!

TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS: 6 POUNDS!!

Woo-to-tha-hoo!!! Happy dance, doing the happy dance! It gives me such grand satisfaction to put myself on that scale on Monday and see the difference from the week before. I do not know what to equate that too, but it is fabulous and extraordinary. I can almost see myself 6 or 8 sizes smaller, 100 pounds lighter, enjoying shopping again because I don't cringe at the pain that is me trying to find clothes that look good. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

I'm just going to breathe in all the beautifulness that is being 6 pounds lighter. The fact that I have set a goal and stuck to it. The fact that I am re-establishing the willpower I lost about a year and a half ago. 6 pounds is beautiful, it is gorgeous, it is worthy of singing and dancing and all that is good! If you could see me know, you would see me jumping up and down and high-five-ing the crap out of myself. Six pounds might not be much to some people, but to me it is the access ramp to the highway that will lead to 100 pounds OFF my body!

How did I celebrate today, you ask? Well, you might not have asked, but I will be happy to tell you anyway. I celebrated with whole wheat bagels and coffee this morning, and bar-b-que chicken salad and water for lunch...all at my friend's house. Then for dinner it was GIRL'S night out! We went to a mexican restaurant and I had a very good CHICKEN (not beef) salad with light dressing...and I did have a margarita...that was my celebration to myself. I know they have calories in them, and I planned on not having any drinks, but I am finding if I deprive myself of everything I enjoy I am more apt to want to cheat, hence the margarita. And it was yummy!

Something is happening when I eat most anything with any amount, even small amounts, of fat. I'm thinking it is because of the gallbladder or gallstone. I am having a test done to check it all out. I wish, wish, wish I had taken control and started this process much sooner, but now is better than never so I can't look back and can only keep doing what I'm doing.

But, I am not going to get bogged down in any negative, I'm only going to keep dancing around about my 6 pounds!! YAY!!
