Scales! Ptooey!
LOL! I tooooold you the scales would be up this week! +2 lb! I'm not at all worried about it though... I'm pretty sure I've worked off all that food I ate last weekend! My wedding ring is much looser - I'm going to have to have it resized soon or it's going to fall off. My watch is almost ready to have another link removed -- and yesterday I noticed that I can now slip my "smaller" jeans (my only jeans) off over my hips without unbuttoning them! So... though the scales are UP, other indicators tell me I'm still heading in the right direction! This is probably because two weeks ago I started doubling my efforts at Curves. I now do 4 times around the track every time. (did I mention that already?) Well... 2 times started feeling waaaay not right -- because you don't get to "fat burning" until your body has been working for about 20 minutes. So if the WHOLE Curves workout only takes 30 minutes, then I'm spending twice as much time GETTING to my fat burning as I am actually BURNING! And I wanted to be burning MORE! So... there I am! And between that and the darn pilates, I'm pretty sure I'm building some muscle sOMewhere! So... if muscle burns more calories than fat, and I gained 2 pounds of muscle, really I should be very PLEASED! Shouldn't I??? LOL! Well... it sounds good on paper anyway!

I'm not sure what I did right or wrong last week. i did loose 2 1/2 lbs but I ate a lot of bad stuff and couldn't exercise after blowing my hip out the week before. The only thing different was that I ate a bowl of instant oatmeal right away when I first woke up every morning. I got that Quaker Dieters one Banana Nut.
Heck and so lazy and dragging in the morning that I didnt' even heat up water! Nope.. just poured hot coffee in straight out of the pot. I'm so bad terrible lazy.
There may be something to this eating more often thing - although the dieter in me says "No! Don't chance it!"

I'm not going anywhere near a scale esp. since I ate a lot of doritos. That is great that you can fit in your smaller jeans! WAhoo!

Hey you are going to be just fine and you know it!! Hey we missed you at Lazy Daisy's party that she gave for me Friday over at her weight blog. We only had about 4 of us but you missed some good virtual food. You know the GREAT thing about virtual food is that is had virtual calories too!! My weight loss was only about 2 lbs but that must have been those 2 lbs that you GAINED! Hmmm. I wanted to break that plateau that I had been on for 3 whole months!!
Now if I can just stay there I can keep going down and down some more.
Well take care and have a great rest of the weekend..;

Having done Curves, I do think you are probably building muscle. Especially if other indicators say you are getting smaller.

Count the calories it took to write this blog and I think you are right on track!! You are an inspiration...for real. As soon as I get that man, my weight is the next project. If I can't get him looking like this, I don't want him at all.
You look good, you sound good and you have been doing fun things. Why wouldn't I want to be you?
