Weigh-In 4/28/09

I’m baaaaaaaaack!  I lost 1.7 pounds this week!  I’m definitely not going to get too cocky since I’ve only been back on plan for two days half-assed (Sat. and Sun.) and two days fully (Mon. and today), but I’m happy!  That’s the first real loss I’ve had in almost a month.

I’m sitting here watching Biggest Loser while I’m writing this and wow!  They all look amazing!  Especially in their goal outfits that they tried on.  I had a moment of re-awakening when I realized that even with my recent stupidity and the weight I’ve regained, I’ve still lost more weight than any one of them.   I feel pretty good about that.  Now, I know they’ll all show me up at the finale again, but that’s okay.  )  It’s a good reminder that as they have a lot to be proud of, so do I.  So do we all.  Even having lost only five pounds, three pounds, half a pound is something to be proud of.  It’s not easy.

 I had another moment of re-awakening this afternoon on my way into work.  Okay, it was more a moment of intense and paralyzing terror.  I was literally about four inches (if that) away from having one of my biggest fears realized.  As I said, I was driving into work and was passing a bus, when it happened.  A man walked out from in front of the bus right in front of me.  OMG, I slammed on my breaks and seriously had about a heart attack.  He wasn’t even looking at all where he was going.  I’m honestly not exaggerating when I say that I think he was only a couple of inches from my bumper.  I’m still kind of shaky just thinking about it.  There have been stories on the news about people being killed this way, and I’m usually always so careful, but there’s only so much you can do!

Be careful out there, folks!
