Food...

I finally had a chance to go to the grocery store last night! I had to pass on my chance for a second workout but I know what I am putting into my body is just as important as working out. After two hours of reading and comparing labels and desperately trying to avoid getting a latte from Starbucks (inside Meijer) my trip was a complete! Now if only I could find the time to get it all prepared....


Here's a random thought.... Last week I went to the doctor for my migraine situation and I knew before going that as soon as the nurse came to get me the first thing she would have me do is step on the scale. Although I REALLY wanted to know how much I weighed I decided to "trust the process". I explained to the nurse that I am participating in BMSW and told her that I didn't want to know how much I weighed, she laughed a little then suggested that I step on the scale backwards. So I did. When my appointment was over I was handed a paper with my diagnosis, vital signs, and of course my weight. I folded it and put it inside my purse. Alllll weekend I contemplated looking at that paper but I didn't and I am so grateful for that.... According to their scale, on Friday I hadn't lost a single pound! If I would have seen that before having the chance to weigh in, I would have been devastated and pretty discouraged. They're right.... trust the process!

  3. I bet that was really hard. But what a success story. Our bodies are really weird about weight. Great Job!

  4. A couple of things you have to remember. One is your weight varies by the time of day that is why we always weigh in the same time. Also at the doctor's office you had more clothes on as well was on a different scale. While it said you had lost nothing if they had used our scales and had you dressed like you are on Monday's you might have seen a loss even then.
