What a nice (not) surprise!
Monday, May 4th 2009
Oh, what a thrill! I stepped on the scale Saturday morning, thinking positively (198, 198, 198), knowing full well that I ate and exercised like +2 not -1. But -- ta-da -- I weighed 198.5. Oh, glory be, and praises to all Weight Loss Guardian Angels!!!Sunday is my "real" weigh-in day. I don't know why I can go all week and stay off the scale, but there's something about Saturday morning, weigh-in day getting so close and all, that I can't resist a little preview. So Sunday -...
