technical difficulties

hey dudes and dudettes
so i know it's tuesday and i didn't post updates yesterday. that's because the scale went up one lb. ;( then i knew why. so this week thanks to my female chromosome my weight is going to be up and down--due to such technical difficulties, i will regroup next monday.

for now though i should probably share some feelings and thoughts. i'm def not following the diet stage II in the least but i made another soup from her book and i think it's amazing. i made my first cuban black bean soup! i was pretty excited about it and about freezing yet another bag of soup for a later "easy meal". in general although not meal by meal i'm still using my "instincts" to remain faithful to the food lists and choices.

and i can't tell you how much i am loving my body right now. my upper half has been making me really happy. the lower half still has some jiggle but i get excited looking at my stomach and the muscles and tone that it finally has. def. still room for improvement, but for the first time in a long time i feel like i'm making some healthy progress.

at one time i thought that i wanted to lose weight just to be thin. now i def. DON'T want to be thin--i would much rather have a toned and healthy body. before starting the diet i wasn't sure what would happen and whether or not i could even lose more weight. after losing 15 on south beach 6 years ago--i have always tried to push the scale down and it's never stayed more than a week. not only has it stayed down below the added holiday weight but also 5 more lbs. today at one point it said 140. that's amazing for me!

if it drops below 140-then i'll be stoked! again no worries- i'm still in a healthy weight zone for my height and age. i also hope that once my stomach is in pretty good shape, that maybe i'll start to see my thighs shrink. one can have hope ;)

alright... so although i didn't post an exact weigh in, i gave you the emotional weigh in/check in. and all those results are positive. but in my other life i need to be going so i can stop having so much free time and actually find employment. ;)

tchau!
