Yeah, I announced it this morning on my personal blog (it is the MONTH OF MEL! after all) but I wanted to share with my fellow Fat Chicks (and Dick are you still around Joe?)
I have lost 22 lbs!
I get to buy my 20 lbs reward CD and I’m just 3 lbs away from my 25 lb reward CD.
It’s good to be Mel.
What’s funny is that last night, I was kevetching to Cute Little Trainer Boy #2 that I only lost 1 lb last week despite me sticking to my diet, and my working out like a madwoman.
CLBT2 eyed me like I do my kids when they’re lying. Yes, he gave me the look. I thought only mommas knew how to throw that look around. I was wrong.
“What?!” I asked.
“I don’t believe you. You’re not eating right.”
“I’m totally freaking eating right. That’s it. You’re demoted.”
“Demoted?”
“Yep, you will from here on out be known on my blog as Egbert.”
“What was I known as before?”
“Something much better than Egbert.”
He sighed. Dramatically. “Anyway, write your food down for me for the next two days, mmmkay?”
“Whatever, Eggy.”*
But then a miracle happened. The Saint of Fat Asses graced me with a 3lb loss over night. I knew if I would just be patient the weight would come off. But sweeet fancy MOSES when???
Today, that’s when.
So now I’m shopping for my next CD…I’m totally digging watching the CDs pile up as the pounds fall off.
It’s good to be Mel.
Race Day is Sunday…let the countdown begin.
*portions of this conversation may have been embellished for dramatic effect.
Doncha just love when the scale jumps downward? Congrats! I’ve been stuck at 38 pounds forever!!! I wanna see 40!!!!!
I’m still here baby, just been so busy working and working out. (yes, I’m still at it) I don’t know why I’m still lifting like crazy and doing cardio in between, I have only gained like 3 pounds and I’m a little miffed. But I am so proud of how you are doing and can wait to celebrate the climax of the month of mel with you and fishdog. I may be quiet but I’m watching! hehe
