Measuring - and life

[Guest guest]

Measuring has been my saving grace some months when the scale shows little

movement even though I am working hard. I measure every three weeks. Not sure

why I picked such an odd interval, probably got impatient that first time.

Sometimes the work we are doing is not reflected on the scale. I assume as fat

is lost and muscle gained we become more " dense " for a time.

Hope everyone is having a great week! I am out of town right now so my eating

has been a little off. We had a death in the family (my beloved grandfather).

Except for last night, I have been able to handle my eating really well

considering the circumstances and that I tend to be an emotional eater. Last

night, though, my sister and I shared three pitchers of margaritas. It was our

way of dealing with the grief, I guess. Today's hangover has certainly cut down

on any overeating, though. Been a long time since I did something like that - I

am getting old! :-)

pounds I'm down one of those and back to fighting.  I'm going to do something

today  that I really need to do but it's going to make me sad.  I'm going to

measure me and start keeping a monthly tab on my measurements.  I can do this I

can be strong.  I think.  I'm one of those that fears the tape a lot more than I

fear the scale.  But I think it's as important.
