Seeing a shrink...

I am delighted (and more than a bit relieved) to report, that despite my sneaky peek wibble of yesterday, I managed to exhibit shrinkage to the tune of 2lb!

Having a sneaky peek is not something I will be indulging in again, as I'm unlikely to forget the effect it had on my psyche.
Quite apart from feeling physically sick (at the thought of seemingly having gained 4lb overnight), my motivation to do half an hour of exercise on the Wii plummeted through the floor, and I had to force myself to complete them - yet the day before when I was feeling smug (cos it said I had lost 2lb), I bounced through it like a spring lamb - probably best not to hang on to that image too long, especially given the wayward nature of my appendages!

I then spent the rest of the day fretting about something I hadn't a hope in hell of changing anyway.
I even hatched a plan, in my tormented mind, whereby I would intercept the WW Leader Karen en route to the hall, rip the plugs and batteries from weighing scales....she would never know it was me 'wot dunnit', because I'd be sporting a balaclava!
Oh yes, I had it all worked out!

Even my quality of sleep was affected, as I was up and down all night. Maybe the amount of water I am drinking atm contributed to that, but I swear it was induced more by 'Wii', than 'wee' ...

This morning I looked forward to WI, with a sense of impending doom. It didn't matter that I knew I had weighed and pointed, increased my water intake and upped the exercise, in my head I was still going to be up those 4lb!

I could have wept with joy when I saw another 2lb had gone, not least because it saw me break into the next stone, - a huge psychological boost for me.

Lesson well and truly learned, I am concentrating on my next mini goal, losing that first half stone!
