This morning's weigh in was quite a surprise.

I have been hovering just above 200 for weeks now. I even had a backslide week when I gained 3 pounds. And this is that week of the month where I usually stay the same or gain a fraction. Ladies you know what I mean and gents if you don't, ask your mom ;)

Beyond that it was a week of events at work with tons of challenging food provided. And evenings of thinking I would go to the gym and do a lesser workout because I didn't feel "right" For the record, each time, I ended up doing my normal workout as once I got to the gym that felt "right".

So I was for just hoping that I hadn't back slid too far, and I would still be close to 200.

I stepped in the scale - 199.2 ?!? That can't be right.

I walked away and came back to weigh again. 199.2

Much giggling and a small happy dance ensued.

I have been on MFP on and off for 4 years and this is the first time I have broken through this line in my imagination.

YAY!!!!!!!

    You got this!

    I totally do this on the Time Of The Month! I trick myself into working out unless I'm flat-out sick. I'm bloated, cranky, crampy and weak. I tell myself a half-assed workout is better than no workout. It works every time!
