Do I Look Fat In This?

I am now on my 3rd day of being back on track and while I feel that the “back on track” part is going extremely well, the results are the opposite of what I was going for, meaning I’ve gained another pound instead of losing.  I know that today is “water pill” day (I take one every 3 days for blood pressure management) and I know that in the interim days, I tend to hold a bit of fluid, especially as I get closer to my period, which is due next week.   There is also the “I’m building muscle, which weighs more and temporarily can offset the weight loss appearance” story.  Either way, I know I am doing all of the right things and it has to catch up eventually. 

I’m not down, just determined.

Yesterday was planting day and I planted my successful weight loss (100 pounds by December 22), prosperity for my family and the drawing in of people who are in that upper 50% who will like me, support me and celebrate me without me having to convince them to do so.

Wow!   After processing through all of the “heavy” mental work of the past week, I feel more ready than ever to tackle this challenge.  You can read about it in my other journal if you haven’t already and are interested.

Still the same…everything is still the same.

I’m still at 252, having lost the mysterious 3 pounds that showed up unbidden, but not the addtional 2 pounds that I am over my lowest from a couple of weeks ago.  I did all of the recommended shake ups to dump the plateau and then just stopped worrying about it.  I know it will all work out.
