And So Began Yet Another Week...

Hope everyone had a good Monday! 

I was able to make it through Saturday’s celebration okay – what “helped” was that we got over there late because I wasn’t feeling well. (Yay, coffee on a mostly-empty stomach… *eyeroll*)  But it was good to see people I hadn’t seen in a while!  There was, of course, a lot of food left over (I have mentioned that mine’s a mostly-Greek family, haven’t I…?) and my Mom didn’t just try to send food home with us – she actually BROUGHT OVER leftovers for us yesterday!  *Sigh*  Thanks, Mom… :}  Luckily I was able to share a lot of it with a friend and her family, so it wasn't around here to tempt me!

One of the things the Hubster was quite happy talking about at the party was his own Weight Loss journey. (He did break through a major milestone on Friday – Yay, Hubs!  And my family was quite congratulatory - rightly so!)  and he felt perfectly comfortable spouting out his starting weight as well as his current weight.*   I, on the other hand, have a very hard time talking about the fact that I’m working on losing weight (in real life - obviously not here..) with pretty much anyone.

*I’m not going to mention his numbers – that’s his journey and his story to tell, if he ever decides to do so.  But if he ever decides to start a Blog of his own, you know I’ll happily link to it! :D

If someone were to notice my weight loss (especially a family member – ESPECIALLY my Mom) and comment on it, I would probably just talk about  working on getting healthier, and maybe the amount I’d lost, but not the hard numbers.  I don’t think I’d EVER be comfortable to sharing my hard numbers with anyone but a VERY small handful of people.  (And I don’t think I could EVER tell it to anyone in my family, unless it was absolutely necessary. More than likely because I can’t remember a time growing up when my weight wasn’t an issue for me. And for them…) Even on this Blog, I tend to avoid the actual numbers I’m seeing on my scale, and stick with mentioning just the amount lost. The Hubster, on the other hand, has no problem talking about his Weight Loss journey with others.  I don’t know if that’s a guy/girl thing, or if it’s because of all the time I spent struggling with my weight while I was growing up.

So today I took in 1291 calories and 112 oz. water along with my usual coffee, and had fun at rehearsal tonight. Didn’t do any more exercising than that – I’m still trying to adjust to “springing ahead" yesterday. :P And with that I need to get myself to bed…

G’Night, all!
