Happy Dance
I got off to (what I consider) a bad start. My head wasn't in the game, it was that simple.
I got an unpleasant diagnosis along the way.
And I've had my woes over scale readings. (Arthritic knee swelling = lying, useless scale)
Right this minute, I feel like crap. (Nasty ear infection sprang up in hours last night -- probably viral, but bad enough it hurts to turn my head or chew. I also have a minor incision on my hip that is just plain in a bad place, and hurts out-of-proportion to the size of the wound -- no signs of infection, it just ACHES a lot when I move.)
And yet?
Inside, I'm doing the happy dance.
I'm down almost 10 lbs, and what I finally noticed (The "noticing" was delayed, because it's on my phone, so the screen-size is small) that each of my scale "bounces" was, in fact, to a lower number than the previous one. And yes, my trend is down. And I am currently in one of the "steep fall" phases. Should be under 230 by tomorrow, if this keeps up. (If it doesn't I'm going to be convinced I have 1 pt of fluid collected in my EAR CANAL... dang this thing hurts.)
So I've hit one of my milestones: The one where I can see the trend on my weight-graph, and see that yes -- it's heading in the right direction. (The power this has on my psyche is one of the reasons I try to weigh daily. I'll admit there are drawbacks, but the way my mathematical mind works, I need that graph, and that graph has to have lots of data-points or it's useless.)
