Believe the Scales


I had a pleasant surprise when I stepped on the scales this morning. Apparently, I lost three pounds overnight. Yep. That must have been one heck of a restless night! The thing is I took two Tylenol P.M., which makes me sleep like I’m dead, so I could have run a marathon and not known it. 

Bill, the voice of reason, constantly tells me that daily weigh-ins are deceiving, that one’s weight fluctuates throughout one day, so the buzzkill is telling me not to do any kind of happy dancing because of the massive weight loss. Grrrrr.

Now for the truth – I did eat a block of dark chocolate with raspberries and some popcorn last night after I said I was done eating. I didn’t go to bed early enough. Looking back, I think a glass of water would have filled me up enough, but maybe the takeaway is that chocolate encourages weight loss. Nah. Probably not.
Gracie and I walked in the park today for 45 minutes. She’s already looking slimmer. Meanwhile, my blue jeans are still uncomfortable. Maybe I should let Gracie try them on. 

So here are today’s numbers:
