Let me start this post by saying something really good about it: There is a loss! That being said, this has been a pretty stressful week both good and bad and both kinds have caused some sort of spike in my weight. Getting all freaked out about the marathon / half marathon saw the scale jump up to 188 and I had to work my ass off this week to get that scale moving again. Would I have liked to see something more significant than a half pound loss? Of course. Am I thrilled beyond words that I have a half pound loss this week? You bet your sweet ass I am.

The scale has been all over the past seven days. I saw a low number of 183.5 but today I'm up just a tad because of stress. This is the good kind (sort of) but involved letting go of a large sum of money (and if you know me this is a major stress factor) so today I take a deep breath and just let the universe take what it needs from me because I know the universe will also give me back what I work hard for.

Physically speaking, I really pushed my body to it's maximum. My weights are heavier, my endurance is longer, and I've traveled more by bike this week than I have since I was in my 20's. It feels good to be moving. It feels good to be getting stronger. The 80 pound mark is in my target and I am moving forward!
