02.21.12: Weekly Weigh In

Dear Friends and Family,

weigh in: 139.2

I lost 0.2 lbs since my weigh-in last Tuesday.

0.2 lbs. I'll take it.

First, in isolation it's 0.2 lbs. A loss is a loss.

Second, in context, it's 2.0 lbs over two weeks because I had a 1.8 lb loss the week before. And, 2 lbs over 2 weeks is fine by me. Better than fine, truth be told.

Third, in additional context, it was a miserable week from a Weigh Watchers perspective.

• Monday, we went out to buy P's Valentine's Day gifts and our milk and ate at the supermarket food court for dinner.
• Tuesday, we ran into traffic on the way home because apparently it's all the thing to eat out on Valentine's Day. We ate at the airport for dinner.
• Wednesday, there was an event at school to meet P's teachers. We ate at fast food Chinese for dinner.
• Thursday, there was an accident on the way home. We ate out late and unplanned.
• Friday, it was lunch with a girlfriend and Mom's Night Out Happy Hour.
• Saturday, it would have been a Chinese New Year party we bailed on.
• Sunday, it was the first of several Restaurant Week meals we have over the next ten days.
• Monday, it was fortunately a day to breathe.

See? In context, losing any weight is a testament to sheer luck. Hopefully this week will be a little less hectic because I really don't need any more 26 point disappointing hamburgers this week.


Cheers!

PS: Tired. I woke up at 3:13 AM thinking about my weigh-in. Sigh.
