What Came First, The NSV's Or The Pound?

When the scale moves, I usually wait a day or two to make sure it's not giving me a head fake.

I lost a pound. I'll probably be able to say that I lost two soon since I usually drop weight in pairs.

I weigh 171 pounds now -- standing at 5'3 and 1/2 -- the 1/2 being as important to me as it is to a kid.

According to the BMI calculator I'm still obese but that's okay, little calculator, I still have my NSV's (Non-Scale Victories).

I ate dinner: vegetarian chili with Trader Joe's Roasted Gorgonzola crackers then I traveled 30 minutes away to go to Bally Total Fitness.

I took advantage of the National Body Challenge and got a 14 day pass to Bally in order to have access to a pool and different scenery.

The pool was not crowded either. I got in 20 laps and called it a night. While I was swimming, I remembered what this instructor said to some kids on Tuesday:

Do you like music? Do you like rock and roll? Well, that's what we're going to do when we do the back crawl -- rock and roll -- but we're only going to rock and roll with our shoulders.

Capitalism amuses me at times. Got this ad from The Swim Outlet and The SO is ready for Valentine's Day.




So, what's a girl to do now that the scale has moved? She's going to keep rockin' the regimen. She's going to rock steady baby!

Before You Lost The Weight

The questions have started.

How much weight do you plan to lose?

*Shrug*

At what weight are you supposed to be?

*Shrug*

You better find out.

I should say that the commentary has started too.

I liked your face before you lost the weight.

*No comment*

You look better every time I see you and you look younger.

Don't lose the curves.

I miss your cheeks. You look cute either way though.

I've been told more than once that, maybe, I need to sit down which is such a funny assertion. Just what am I doing while sitting down?

Have no fear, people. I can still pinch a couple of inches and, according to the BMI calculator, I am still obese. Plus, I don't lose weight so effortlessly that I'm going to disappear into nothingness.

Momentum is on my side right now and I've got to keep on moving. Yes, there will be neglected things and I just got home about 30 minutes ago from my nighttime swimming but, hey, I actually squeezed in making some peanuts today so when I need that little boost before a workout, I can grab an ounce.

Of course, the peanuts are a little browner than I wanted them to be but...



Keep On Movin'
