A good day...got back on the scale after several days of water, walking on the treadmill, vitamins, abstaining from certain foods for Lent, quiet rest and no stress and...yay!...the scale has dipped again.
I have stayed in the same "decade" of pounds for a number of months and I am determined in a new way to get out from under that "10" grip. Everyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows that one can reach a certain number such as 151. Then one tries to get down into the 140's and...one sits and sits on the tarmac of weight. Take off, already!
Even though the scale dipped, I have seen this blasted number before. I am very tired of this number and I am very tired of going up and down...no matter how small the rise and fall.
I have been working on not eating after 7pm or so. This is a good way to lose weight, but I have to change the way I live my evenings. I cannot stay up as late. I cannot start projects after dinner. When I am feeling blah...I need to take a hot bath, drink herbal tea, turn the television off and go to bed! I should not have long phone conversations late in the evening. I should never, ever find myself shopping for anything in a 24 hour grocery close to midnight. A sort of madness takes over. I really need to turn my world upside down...early to bed, early to rise...scale dips...
