Okay, so while most of you were all warm and cozy in your beds last night, working on a comfy night of dreams, I was in a delivery van. Rolling through the streets of Manhattan with my two trusty sidekicks. We were bringin’ PARENTGUIDE magazine to the masses. A fine publication. I highly recommend it if you’ve never been lucky enough to see it. And I’m not just saying that because I am one of the editors. But anyway, I crawled through the door at about 3:30am this morning. Crashed out at around 4 o’clock. Don’t even remember dreaming before my alarm woke me up at the stroke of nine. Then it was time for the long walk to my bathroom scale.

​

It was waiting for me right where I had left it. All smug and arrogant, thinking it could get into my head. I didn’t play its little mind game though. Instead I showed no fear. Took a deep breath, stepped right up, and gave the numbers a few seconds to settle. I finally mustered up the strength to look down. Being able to see your own feet is always a good sign…lol. I am happy to report that I lost four pounds this week. Now as someone who admittedly has trouble sometimes waiting for things to happen slowly, I have to say I was hoping for more. But don’t get me wrong. I am happy. Losing four pounds puts me four pounds closer to my goal weight.



It’s also four pounds less that I have to lose. Most importantly, it’s four pounds that I did…not…GAIN. I will take it. Not a bad start. I’m definitely on the right path and off in the right direction again. And how did I reward myself for a week well spent? Egg whites and toast for breakfast, followed by a sandwich and salad for lunch. Then tonight on my TV, while the superstars of the WWE are giving it their all on Monday Night RAW, I will be giving my all right back with some good old-fashioned exercise to end the day. Not the way someone else would celebrate a personal victory perhaps. But it might just be the smartest…and the healthiest.
