Oh my goodness - Angels shined down on me!

Last WI: 214.2/ At home WI: 215.2
(eh on the last number, but did you SEE that first number?)

FRIDAY

Oh my, oh my. I can NOT believe it. Angels must have been looking down on me yesterday because by some fluky flukiness, I actually LOST weight at WI yesterday. Yep, lost. Ok - so it was only 0.4, but hey when you're expecting a gain, any loss is a huge loss!

So - that makes 5 WEEKS of losing. That's a tie for my all-time best streak. Now - if I lose again next week? We're breaking records here! And I fully intended to lose again next week.

So - yesterday at work, I did my typical WI day routine. I ate a good size breakfast. I chugged water (and a couple diet cokes - addicted here) until 1:00. Then I "fasted" until WI at 5:00. I actually got out of work early, about 2:45 to go by the Fayette office to drop something off. That gave me about an hour at home before WI to chill. I ended up taking a quick cat nap.

To be honest, part of the success yesterday can probably be attributed to the fact that I've started weighing in in shorts. It's April now, and getting warmer here in Georgia, so I decided this week was a good time to switch to shorts for WI. I have this super light pair of shorts, that are actually already almost too big, but that I'm going to try to were through the summer for WI. They weigh almost nothing, so it gets me close to my at home weight. So - maybe the "loss" can be attributed to that, but I'm not complaining. I'll be consistent from now on - wearing those shorts, so any future losses should be legit.

After WI yesterday Erik called to say that a couple wanted to come look at the house at 6:30. Mind you it's about 6:00 when he's telling me this, I've just gotten out of my meeting, and on my way home. I had hung out at the house a bit before the meeting, and slept a bit, so the bed wasn't made, the house wasn't picked up. So I raced home and we did a quick speed cleaning routine to make the house presentable for the couple at 6:30. It was actually kinda funny. Erik was vacuming, while I'm making the bed and scrubbing down the kitchen. He's sweeping, while I'm scrubbing behind him. Kinda cute actually.

A little background on the house. Erik has lived in this house since 1999 when he bought it with his first wife. He's lived with two wives there, and after the last separation and divorce, I met him and moved in last year. Now that we've been together almost 2 years, we've decided to find a house together. Something small and more convenient to where he works and where we hang out a lot. So, he listed the house at the end of last summer. It's been on the market now for about 10 months. He's had a couple real low ball offers, but nothing serious, and he's REALLY trying to sell the house now. So, once a week or so, we go into a cleaning frenzy when we're told someone wants to look at it.

Erik also built a new house in a city a couple miles away, for an investment. That house is now also on the market, and once he sells both of them, we'll be able to get our own place. I'm so ready for that, but the market's been so tough lately, they just aren't selling. This is a major point of frustration for both of us.

Anyway, after the couple looked at the house - Erik gave them the grand tour - we headed to YKnots for your Thursday night poker/party. He drove, so I could drink We had a good time, but both of us went out of the poker tournament pretty quickly. Which is good because it kept me from drinking too much. We were home by 10:00 and caught up on the lastest episode of Lost.

Today I'm only going to be at work for a little while. I'm leaving about 11:00 to run some errands and head home to pack for tonight. Erik and I are going to Atlanta for a date night. He has an appointment with an attorney friend of mine at 4:00 then we're going to do dinner, and drinks in the city. With that in mind, I was thinking about going for a run when I get home this afternoon. If I could get 6-10 AP's earned, I'd feel better about this evening's indulgences. I'm going to plan for that. Hopefully I'll keep the motivation.

I was actually pleased with the number on the scale this morning. I'm always up on Friday's because Thursday after WI is my "splurge" day. But it wasn't too bad this morning. I'm hoping if I can keep up the exercise this week, I can get a good loss in next week. By good loss, I mean over a pound. LOL. Hey - if I keep losing, even in small numbers, at least I'm not gaining - something I inevitably do when I'm not OP.

I plan to have a good day - indulgences notwithstanding.

Here's hoping!
