A Ten Pound Scare

Here I am - 3 days into moving and let me tell you. It. Is. Exhausting!

My entire body aches and I am soooo very tired.

This morning, I was curious how I was doing weight wise (since I have not been to the gym, yoga or to the pool in almost a week) AND I have not been tracking my food - but have been trying to eat well and in moderation.

So I jumped on the scale this morning and it said 180!!!!

I nearly had a heart attack.

I was grumpy all day, going over the week in my head and wondering - how in the hell did I put on 10 pounds in a few days!

Sure enough, after dinner, my boyfriend comes out of the bathroom and tells me that the scale is at 10 lbs to start - it must have gotten bumped in the move.

THANK GAWD I didnt put any poundage on - according to my newly adjusted and balanced scale - I am still at 170.

PHEW!

    I think I would have just given up if I had put on 10lbs despite working my butt off moving for 3 days LOL

  5. Hahaha! I know that heart-sinking feeling! soon after I got my new, balance-beam scale, I didn't have the weight slid to quite in the slot--and I showed a several pound gain. :o I was so relieved when I spied the askew weight. chuckle.

    Thanks for your comment on my blog. :D It's funny, it crossed my mind yesterday that when I get that 'need to feed' urge, I should make myself sip a cup of tea and see what happens. LOL! I can imagine myself drinking a dozen cups, too! haha.

    My binge times usually come in late afernoon and night, so I'm thinking that I'm just going to have to NOT eat after dinner. Now--how to do that exactly? Thaaaaat's the question!

    I can just imagine non-addicts shaking their heads and thinking, "Well, just don't eat!" sigh.
