Oh man! Just got back from the gym. Ran an extra mile tonight, but had to cut out the rest of my session because basketball players came in. Guess I've still got that paranoia/self-image issue, eh?
AND! The last time I weighed myself I had gained 3 pounds which saddened me but made sense - water retention and muscle build-up. But tonight when I weighed myself, I found the scale saying I was a full pound less than what I was to begin with. Which stands to reason that I'm on my way to my goal =) It also helps that I can now look at myself in the mirror without gagging. Even with my shirt off *nods*. How excited am I that I lost a pound? VERY! It doesn't sound like much, but if you had any idea how much this picks up my spirits, you'd be happy too:D
Especially since, theoretically speaking, I'll be on beaches in about two months. I'd really like to go to a beach and be able to do more than hide in the water and fear being speared by some whale poacher. And, I can't deny that I want to spruce myself up on the possiblity that I'll see Chris. The last time he saw me, I was about thirty pounds lighter and a redhead. I'd kinda like to wow him, you know? Not that my weight ever mattered to him - just something I want to do.

I actually weigh the same as I did before I started training regularly in 1985, but am a completely different (better) shape now - a tailor begged me not to weight train any more because I wouldn't find women's clothes to fit me properly...
So the scales don't tell the whole story by any means.
