I had another good week, although I wasn’t as strict as I could have been with food. I’m still very happy with how I did, and I exercised everyday except yesterday.

My weight has been fluctuating like crazy. Today, I’m back up at 229.4. Yesterday I was 227.something. I keep adding and dropping about 2 pounds. It’s ok. My friend Ros came over on Thursday to talk and ra-ra about health, and she said that when the body first starts to break down and lose fat, it replaces it with water initially while things start changing, then finally lets it go. She said you should only weigh yourself at the beginning of the first month, and not again until the end of it.

Interesting.

I’m weighing myself anyway, because I’m so wildly curious every morning, but I’m not going to get upset for another couple of weeks if things continue to hover. This was week three for me.

Next week will be interesting. I don’t know how I’m going to exercise on Thursday, Friday and Saturday since I’ll be spending the entire day and evening at the Madrona Fiber Arts Winter Retreat (so excited, so excited), where I won’t be able to make my shakes for lunch, either. So I’ll be amazed if I’m not even heavier next week. I’m here for the long haul, though, so one mis-spent half-week isn’t going to kill me.

How are you doing?
