saturday stats - scaling the scale

I had a doctor's appointment last week.  I'm so lucky to have my mom nearby to watch Katelyn for these occasions.  I have never been to the doctor with a toddler but I'm sure it is loads of fun.

Anyway, while there it was reconfirmed that I am one healthy fat person.  I'm always glad to hear that my blood pressure, heart rate, and cholesterol levels are normal.  It makes me want to fist pump a chubby hand into the air in celebration as I evade obesity related illness once more.

I know it's only a matter of time though.  That's why I started this blog to lose weight, blah, blah, blah.  You already know all of this.

Anyway, while I was there, I started talking about weight loss and my doctor told me that he only weighs every six months!  Every six months!!!  Can you believe it?!?

Anyway...

Maybe I should work on not weighing every single day but I'd hate to turn Saturday Stats into a Semi-Annual Stats sort of thing.  I'll stick with once weekly for now.

Upon my return, I was summoned immediately by Kate to look at the book she had been reading with her grandma.  It is a Sesame Street book and one page has a picture of The Count with his bat friends and my mom has taught her to scream, "Eek!" when she turns to that page.  I'm glad.  Everyone should have a healthy fear of bats and rabies.

I have to admit something.  I started losing weight before I began writing this blog.  My actual starting weight was 275 and not 267.  At first I decided I just wouldn't mention it because...  I don't know.  I guess I just wanted a fresh start.  But now I'm like, no!  I'm going to claim all of the weight I've lost!

So here are my weekly totals...

Weekly: 1.5 pounds

Total: 19 pounds
