Day #2 - Some Days Are Like This One

nterestingfacts12.blogspot.com

The whole ordeal with the scale is now behind me, but as my friend has quite rightly said, "My 'Theory of Relativity' as applied to scales involves accepting that scales can be arbitrary and capricious, and that switching scales just means there is a new baseline to start from. See, it's all relative!" 
And yes I do have a new and shiny scale, upon which I will once again place my blind trust, as I did with the last one. And, just look at where that got me:-) The thing is that I need a  gauge by which to measure my progress, other than dead reckoning. the fact is that when I do not pay proper attention I tend to gain weight. I know that without doubt. 
Evidence? 
Here I am.
Yes, I could have stayed with the old measuring device, but that would be like having a one-cup measure that showed itself to be only a half-cup. I could use it, sticking with the belief that it was correct - in spite of every single recipe requiring a full cup of whatever, turning out wrong.

Today's words are presto and change-o.

Today's weight is the same as yesterday's.

It's a good day.

Day #5 - I Made a New Friend Today

Marie is my new friend on My Fitness Pal, and she is to be acknowledged as the first person who has ever thought to discover me there as "ificanloseit" - I felt somewhat surprised and very honored.-p


Other things have been happening as well... a couple of days ago If I Can Lose It... was #1 in two categories on Amazon Kindle: Personal Transformation and Weight Management. Currently, it's hoovering around #54, but such things are not the measure of how I would gauge the success of the book.  Knowing that the message is spreading, that people are understanding and taking personal control of their own weight, is.


There is simply no better feeling... Well, there is getting on the scale and seeing it all work - that's good too.-)
