Here is the deal - PMS is the name of the game today- I do not think dudes are reading this so hear goes. After a week of being nearly perfect the scale is not budging thankfully in either direction. It is always weird how my period is such a huge surprise. But when you add up mood, appetite and bloating it can only be one thing. I guess it could be 2 things but there is no way I am pregnant!
So it happens to be the double whammy weigh day. First I go to the SHINE study for my one year follow up. I was hoping for a good report card. Next I go to JC for my weekly weigh in. A scheduling nightmare but it is my day off and I have to consolidate appointment. This is going to suck and the fight or flight is kicking in and I really want to fly. But I am not. I am sure I will just walk into the office talking a mile a minute about my period to some chick that does not care and be that weird hyper silly women who talked too much. So be it. At least I get my roots done at 2PM! I am fasting for the blood draw right now and hungry. I hate to eat in front of the study people and they always offer cereal fruit and yogurt right after the blood draw. I guess they figure over weigh people will surely self combust skipping a meal. So afraid of lowered blood sugars and taking measurments they feed you. I always figure because it is a study that they are studying what and how much we eat. Will she read the label of the Yogurt? Will she have the milk and yogurt? I always try and decline and then end up eating the cereal with the milk and skipping the yogurt.
Any how I expect a great week next week or in a few days. The good part of being on a journey to reduce debt and my waist line is when one is not working out you can probably feel good about the other. Unless I maxed out my credit card at a restaurant, in that case I would be sunk!
Break... I will be in touch after weigh in...
I am back. Not all bad. I was not that chatty weird lady I thought I might be. Maybe in anticipating the behavior born from the anxiety one can get a grip, behave and just be a polite patient. I was weighed and the world did not stop. I talked about getting a job in the OR with the guy who took my blood , food was offered I declined. I know if they plopped in front of me I would of had it! Weighing in I was the same as last week but less than 6 months ago and not more. My measurements showed improvement my waist and hips are now 2 different numbers! We are heading in the correct direction and I know the number on the scale this week reflects a premenstrual lady. Breath!!!
At JC, my regular weight loss counselor was very excited. She is also a very good salesperson. I know the deal because I used to do her job -quite well. She tried to sell me, of course at a significant discount, some sort of monitor you wear that calculates energy expense , calories in and out... I do not need a machine to tell me how I am doing my jeans do that. This is where weight loss and debt reduction cross roads. Usually if they are selling I am buying. I reminded her about my quest and she seemed very disappointed. She said, "of all my clients I thought you would buy one for sure!" Not today bitch! (said in a silly but confident tone)
