Bagels and French Fries

Well I got on the scale this morning and found that I hadn't lost a single pound...

BUT I am A-OK with that - after loosing 3 lbs last week I was just happy to keep it all off.

I forgot to mention last week - when I lost the 3 lbs - the MIDDLE number changed!!!

Those of us hefty gals that are trying to loose weight understand the importance of the middle # changing...

The first number for some of us might change...I know when I first started on my weight loss journey a few years ago the moment that first number changed was such a wonderful life affirming thing...

The last number - well that always fluctuates....

But the middle number... that is the sweet spot number...when that number changes for the better it makes you feel like you have accomplished something...doesn't matter that the last number has changed 9 times to get you to a new middle number...

To treat myself for not gaining any weight this week I treated myself...

I had a wonderfully delicious bagel this morning...and for lunch - wonderful, crispy french fries...

and yes I will be drinking my weight in water this weekend to flush it all out of my system....

you are absolutely right about the middle number!!! I never thought about it this way until now, but it's as if you have done something HUGE when it changes. If you lose one pound in a week, eh, but if you lose that one pound to change that middle number...WOAH!

The next time my middle number changes, so will the first...and I so cannot wait!
