It’s looking good for the team this week – ok, there is no team, it’s looking good for me. Apparently, grand-parenting is better than a diet, better than a fitbit. Or maybe it’s the prospect of spankings and such in my future. It’s not because of my step count, which was about 44,000 – better than last week, but not hitting my goal.
But whatever the reason, this morning, I hopped on the scale and saw a number i haven’t seen since who-knows-when. (I know, i am more than a number, my self-worth does not depend on my weight, right?) But it was 160, y’all. Ok, 160.6, but still. It’s pretty darn exciting.
I could mention that I’m having some issues at work and, for once, instead of eating more, i’m eating less. Very odd, right? Usually, anxiety drives me straight to the food. Instead, i’m just not even hungry. Don’t misunderstand me, i’m still eating, just less than normal. So there’s that.
My non-obese weight goal is 148. So i still have a long way to go – 12 pounds. I’ve lost 12 pounds though, so i guess i’m halfway there!! Ok, that’s good reason to celebrate.
In other news, I’m having some serious issues at work. Ok, i already mentioned that, but consider this an indication of how serious it is. Sigh. But what a great opportunity to find my Zen, right? Feel free to send me positive energy and good luck, cause i can use it.

Way to go!! I think that weight loss happens when we are generally happy, as if emotionally holding on to things shows up in weight in our bodies. That is an amazing step count. I’m excited the grands are back and I’m really hopeful you have to eat that BAB remark when you take them and have a delightful time! The work stuff sounds really stressful and you know how to get ahold of me if you need to vent. ❤️
