Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Thursday 2/28

And so ends February....

Today's weight 137.2 and puffy again. Why the puffy / not puffy / puffy / not puffy thing lately I haven't figure out. It doesn't bother me from a weight perspective because water isn't fat. I just hate being puffy.

I am thinking of taking tap dance classes next fall, something I'd never have dreamed of doing 180 lbs ago!

Mom,
I am amazed by the people (especially women) that wake up and weigh the exact same thing every day. Salt gets me and i know this insanity workout is going to cause me to retain fluid as I build up muscle.

124.0

171.0

Started reading a new book by a NY Times author - Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us. Fascinating.

Fun fact: 1/2 cup of Prego sauce contains same amount of sugar as three oreo cookies.

What's sad is the first thing I thought was "I'll take the cookies." Then I started craving Oreos and I don't even like them. What the hell? The mind games just never end for me.

I really liked that book.  Really opens up your eyes.  I was also able to use some of their tricks in reverse and figure out what I should be eating instead.  For example, increasing strong flavors and spices in my foods is really helping me to decrease my cravings and portion sizes.

Wow, you read fast!  Just started shipping from Amazon on Tuesday... Really well done book, very readable.

I was waiting for this one.  I bet I was the first one to get a copy.  :) 

148.6 - same as yesterday, which gives me a tiny spark of hope that tomorrow will be lower. After shoveling snow and a very hard workout at karate yesterday, I'd usually gain 1-2 lbs.

Off to a wild crazy busy day.

Tap dancing sounds like fun, Mom!

Also found some belly-dancing classes. Things that make you go 'hmmmmmm'.

Well, I'm thinking your hubby won't hate your new moves. Meeooowww.
