Sabatoge Week

Well, its minus Monday.... That means its of course time to report my success, or my failures to my friends and family.

As you can guess from the title of this blog, strange things happened last week.

My weight last Monday indicated that I was under 200 pounds... That very same day the same scale clocked me in at 204..... Then the scale broke.  I had to get a new one. I had suspected that it was going on the fritz for plenty of time now. I have no idea which digits were actually correct.

I was unsure of the new scale  would be calibrated the same as the old one, although I did purchase the same brand.

I was also confronted with another round of sickness. I have been sicker than a truck load of garbage monkeys riding on a dump truck.... perhaps my body went in to "lets attempt to kill this horrendous virus mode instead of fat burn mode?"

I also know that I did not drink as much water and eat all of the meal replacements I should of..... I have been confronted with high grade fevers, breathing problems, and a throat that feels like I had fourteen millions shards of glass hanging out in it. When you feel like I did, you are in a drunken stupor of all sorts of medications and don't feel like eating. I figured I would work on getting enough rest, and get back into my fat-burning-lean-mean-body-machine later.

Also, yesterday Dean made me my traditional brownie for a dessert with "an extra dose of love..."
this translates into, he put a few miniature marshmallows into the brownie..... by no means is this approved on the program. No means at all.

Well, anyway. I did my official weigh in today, the new scale clocked me in at 199. Good news, I am still under 200, but it also leaves questions of weather or not the new scale is right, or the old one. I also had to tightened my belt (and bra) this week, so Dean and I have decided that I have indeed lost weight.  That I went from 204 to 199. This would grant me a 5 pound weight loss.

Perhaps it's a mind game to keep me positive in my transition,  or perhaps its the reality. Who really knows.  I will count my weigh in for today as the reference point for future weigh ins.

People ask me what I am looking forward to the most when I am done losing weight, and basically, it is two fold. Shocking my family and friends when we get to go home for a vacation or something, and going to Disneyland. When I get to my optimum weight, for a reward, we are going to Disneyland!!! I really wanted to put a tracker thing on the side of my blog that reads "so many pounds until Disneyland" but I couldn't figure out how. If you know how, please advise!

On the health coaching front. I have decided that I am going to purchase a really cool cup, and business cards that basically advertise for me. I can have the cup with me when I am in my classes, and then people will ask what it means,  I can explain it to them, and give them a business card. I have already made up the business cards (I just add my co-branded info to a template of this program) I just have to wait until pay day to purchase them. But, I am ecstatic to announce that my only client thus far (Dean) is 7 pounds away from reaching his optimal weight! He has gone from being in the "Obese" category to the "healthy weight" category according to the BMI chart we use, set forth my the diet program, not the internet.

Here's to a healthier, happier, weight-losing week! Let's hope anyway!
