Practice - measurements and other thoughts

I haven't been practicing my tap.  I blame it on my back.  It started to spasm on Thursday and I don't want to exacerbate it any more.  But if I don't practice then I am going to be a numskull.  We will see if I practice tonight.  Maybe - maybe not.

So it is coming up to my measurement time.  T2 gave me a jacket to wear, and before I couldn't button it, now I can button it, but the arms feel a bit tight.  I don't remember that being a problem last time, so maybe I have put on weight on my arms.  Bummer.

Measuring every 20 pounds is about right.  Unlike weighing yourself three times a day, the results of the measurements don't change on a daily basis (well mine don't).  So it is a good gauge overall how you are doing.  As they say the scale is just a number what you truly want is a smaller body.

Unfortunately, my measurements have never been the ideal, even when I was at my lowest.  I am just a big girl, with large bones.  It is always fun when you lose enough weight that you feel your bones.  Not buried under a ton of fat.

I am trying to think of how to take this blog after the transition.  Using it as a tool to keeping the weight off might lead to some dreary and repetitive entries, but that might be how I feel about transition, weight loss and maintenance.  My baby sister always says can't worry about tomorrow cause it will come whatever you do today, so focus on today and let tomorrow come.  She says it more eloquently than I just did, but that is the gist of it.

Just watched Keith Olbermann - yes Trump is a Jack Ass.

  1. Boy, T3 doesn't like Trump! What a shock! Since the election she's been watching MSN continuuously & is chanting "no trump, no trump, no trump" in her sleep. I hope this blog goes one for years since I find it really useful to see what my T3 is thinking. The big dog bit the small dog again, so I'm hoping T3 can fix it. The first phase of tax season ended tonight 4/18/17 so maybe we can see what the world is like.
