The Morning After…

I was very impressed with the SATC finale! It’s no secret that I wanted Carrie to end up with Big (*ahem* John…teehee), but I was pleased with the other storylines too. Samantha is in love…Charlotte is finally getting a baby…and Miranda has settled into family life without totally losing her edge. Love it…will miss it…waiting for a reunion special. 🙂

Ok…enough of the warm fuzzies. I am officially announcing my plateau (“The Bastard”). My weight has stayed at 219 and some change for over a month. One day it will be at 219.8…the next week it will drop to 219.4…a few days later, up to 219.6. Forget Onederland, I just want to see 218! I guess I shouldn’t be complaining. I’ve escaped The Bastard for a long time and it was bound to happen at some point.

As I mentioned before, I’m not planning any radical “shake up” moves. I’m just going to continue plugging away…and wait for things to change. The hardest thing to deal with right now is my attitude being affected by the scale number. I’ve always been able to take everything in stride…but lately, if I don’t approve of my weight, the attitude suffers (not to mention people around me). I think things will go back to normal once the cycling/5K season begins. It’s easy to see weight as just one measure of success when I’m crossing finish lines. During the off-season, the scale takes priority. I don’t like it…but I’m human.

Hope you all have a tolerable Monday…

P.S. Thanks for all the supportive notes in my last entry. I didn’t give the offender a deadly kick to the temple. I tamed the tiger…and kept my job for another week. LOL

My pound must be flying over to Texas and attacking you in between sticking with me. I read an article saying stress affects how you lose weight. you body emits some kind of hormone or what ever that slows weight loss. My last two monthes had been full of external stresses. Still I will try to lose my pound this week…I have beens stuck at 200 for over a month

RYN: I still LOVE the show. And it was a very happy ending, and I do LOOOOVE me some Big. I just thought they weren’t true to there nature. I’ll still always be a SATC fan-atic! 🙂

I thought SATC ended well too. I just wish Big’s name was better than John. You’ll be at 218 before you know it and then 199 is around the corner. Then you’ll be leaving me for good in the terrible twos. But I must confess, that I will be thrilled to see you go. 🙂
