That's not what I expected.

 I'm not really sure how to start this post.  I started my day thinking this was going to be a post about how my second Weight Watchers meeting went.  I had everything lined up and I was ready to go.  I left Lucas with my Mom and headed to my meeting.  Upon arriving at 615 I was shocked when I entered the room and my biggest fear came true, I was L-A-T-E!  Somehow my eyes had deceived me.  I read that the meeting started at 630 and now, I learn it started at 6.  UGH!  I am constantly overly early to everything in my life! All I could think was, this cannot be happening.  Everyone turned to look at me.  UGH!

My normal response would be to run, but I stayed and talked to the receptionist.  She took my weight and gave me my week's pamphlet and off I went.  Back to put my child up right where I left him 15 mins prior.  Oh, you noticed I skimmed over the weight part?

I was a little shocked to see that I had only lost 2.6 lbs.  Yes, yes.  That is a good thing, but my scale at home, that I stand on every morning, had told me I was down 7 lbs.  How could this be? I mean, I know I didn't do that much exercise, so that could figure in, but how can my home scale and my meeting scale differ by so much!  On my drive to the meeting I was already congratulating myself for getting 2 stickers!  A weight loss sticker and a 5 lbs loss sticker.  How awesome would that be?  Everyone would be looking at me for the right reasons, instead of being the one who can't read a website and showed up 15 mins into a 30 min meeting.

I'm not discouraged, but bummed that I had been living this "lie" in my head.  I guess checking everyday is a bit obsessive and a bit misleading, so this week I will only check once mid week and once the morning of my meeting.  That should be fair and not so much of a mind game.

3 big lessons learned here today:

1.  The Monday meeting is at 6.
2.  Don't weigh yourself everyday or you will go crazy
3.  You don't get stickers when you don't attend a meeting.  :(

I'm going to try and find a way to get to another meeting this week.  I think the information is still important.  I will also double and triple check the times!

Losing it,

Lisa 199.4 (should be celebrating being under 200, but I'm too focused on the fact that my home scale said 195.4 this AM!)
