Squee!!!

Mondays are my weekly weigh-in day, so today I headed up the YMCA to hit the scale (it's way too nice out right now to be working out indoors, so I've been walking down at the local park instead). I stepped on, checked the weight, boggled, stepped off, stepped back on again, checked the weight, boggled... (okay, you get the idea -- I did re-weigh myself three times though, just in case there was some sort of error involved).

As of today, I've officially lost 40 pounds since the first of February.

I still keep waiting for it to turn out to be some sort of trick... that maybe I've been using the scale wrong and someone has secretly been sneaking into my house and letting all my clothes out so they're too big to wear. Which obviously isn't the case... but it's all been way too easy and weight-loss isn't supposed to be easy! I'm supposed to, you know, *suffer*. I'm supposed to agonize over the fact that I can't eat anything good and I'm supposed to feel like I'm constantly starving. Instead, I'm plotting my day to make sure I eat enough food so I don't lose too quickly! And I've gotta say, I'm really hoping it stays this way.

So, in review: Squeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Hee! I know!!!! Now I need to follow up with the thing I like to do on these occasions... put 40 pounds of weight in a backpack and carry it around for a bit. It really does make the whole thing seem that much more real... a concrete way of experiencing exactly how much the weight really represents.
