Seeing the scale go down I just want to...well, figure out what else I can do to make it go down faster. I am so anxious for it to go below 200! It's like, it's not real weight loss until it does, it may just be a fluxuation. Actually, though, I just opened a spreadsheet with my weight from 3 months ago and apparently I started the year at 5 pounds more than I started the juice feast, so I am down 15 pounds for the year which sounds much more real and substantial than 10 pounds.
I feel so dumb sometimes, season after season I watch the show "Biggest Loser" and all the contestants start out weighing more than I do, but by halfway through the show, the smaller ones start to weigh less than I do. Then I just think...what the heck am I doing? The answer, I suppose, is "nothing".
Anyway...I woke up before my alarm today. Not exactly all by myself...one of my cats woke me up BUT I wasn't really tired. The night before, my other cat kept waking me up all night long and then yesterday you'd think I'd have been really tired, but I didn't even take a nap, something I did several times last week. So, it's starting to seem like maybe I'm needing less sleep.
On a whim, I got the circulars from my mailbox and actually read them for the first time in years. I was checking for produce specials, and decided to walk to a store that is over an hour away on foot and take a nice long walk. I thought I knew the route, but after walking past the rowing club and the yacht club, I passed the homeless shelter and dead-ended at the women's correctional facility. I had to go all the way home and look at a map to realize I needed to go INTO the yacht club past the sign that says "private property, permission to enter may be revoked at any time" and then I would find the pedestrian path that runs between the marsh and the freeway. So, I added probably an extra hour to my walk.
When I finally got to the store, my credit card was declined and I had no other method of payment. Fortunately, there was a branch of my bank there and I managed to find out my credit card had been duplicated and was being used in New York and New Jersey. Apparently, I used it at Costco here on the east coast and then ten minutes later someone used it on the New York turnpike and my bank figured that couldn't be right so they shut down the card. I was racking my brains trying to figure out how someone could have skimmed my card and the only time I think that could have happened was right before the last time I went to my local farmer's market and I used the cash machine outside my local bank...someone could have had a skimmer on that machine.
The bank was able to issue me a temporary card, it doesn't have my name on it and it doesn't work as a credit card, debit only, so I'm not able to order anything online right now. Maybe that's a blessing in disguise since it's tempting to order more supplemental things for the juice feast but if I keep doing that I'll run out of money even sooner than I already am.
Weight: 202.8
