Tuesday's Scale Tip

It feels like I JUST did a scale tip a day ago! Today was another GREAT day!! I lost exactly 3lbs. My neighbor that I love says that you shouldn't say you "lost" the weight, you should say you gave it away, because we tend to look for things we lose. She's a genius. Anyway, that puts me at 31.2lbs down. Oh that feels so good! The measurements for this week, interestingly enough (to me, you probably don't care) stayed exactly the same. To the .25 inch!
We were installing a patio this weekend, after getting a wild hair and spur of the moment deciding we could do it while walking around Lowes, and it involved moving 20 (so far!) 16X16 HEAVY stones, ten 50lbs bags of sand, and two dozen smaller stepping stones. The large stones easily weigh 30lbs a piece, probably more. I kept thinking "Holy cow! I can't imagine doing this 30lbs heavier. I can't imagine how I did laundry 30lbs heavier!" With all the heavy lifting and extra working I was a little nervous that the scale wouldn't move a lot. My body tends to hang on to everything for a day or two after a hard workout session. Especially one that lasts more than a day! We still have about another 2 days worth of work to do, but I can already tell I'm going to like it a lot.
Tomorrow is my Dr.'s monthly weigh in. I'm pretty excited to see what he says about the progress. Last time I had lost about 15lbs on his scale (maybe 18 on mine) so hopefully there will be about 10 less on his scale this time (13 on mine)!
