Alright...I'm up earlier than I usually am so I can get my workout in today. So I went ahead and did my weigh in.
Starting weight: 199
Today's weight: 194
I'd be really excited if I hadn't cheated earlier in the week and gotten on the scale because I felt fat. Then I was 192. I didn't really alter my eating that much between the two days. So I guess part of what's different is the lack of sleep I got last night. A friend was going to crash at my place after seeing a show that was 90 minutes. He promised me that he would come straight here, which should have taken an hour at most. Which still put me up beyond what I wanted/needed to be. But then he was 30 minutes beyond that! Lovely metabolism wrecking lack of sleep. And it'll happen again tonight because we're seeing a show I'm not even sure I want to see because I feel like I'm pretty much over.
Anyway... 5 pounds is still good. Nothing to sneeze at. And I need to focus on the positive rather than getting stressed and upset which will just screw with my metabolism even more.
Also? I did notice before I got out of bed that my abdomen, especially the top part where there's been a little cluster of fat (still is, but not as big by a little) slopes down a bit now rather than poking out when I'm laying down. So that's some progress too. :)
