6 weeks to go and I’m screwing around with a binge. Dumb. Can anyone relate to being a little afraid of actually reaching a goal?
In the interest of mental health, I’ve made an executive decision to stay off the scale for a few days.
Denial as self-preservation. 
I was 221.4 lbs last night before bed (I’ve been 215 for the past couple of nights) and I doubt very much that 10 lbs came off during my beauty sleep. I’m just not in the mood to see the damage this morning. I’ll get back on when I think it’s *safe* to do so. In the meantime, I’ve got to focus, focus, focus and get right back on track.
I have the day off. I go to the endo today and also the Radiology oncologist and then it’s off to have my hair cut and *sunshine enhanced*. I lost a lot of hair this last round of treatment … not because of the radiation but because of being off my thyroid meds so long. I scooped a whole palmful of hair out of the bathub drain. There are worse things to happen but I’ve always thought my hair was my best feature. Vain, I know.
I decided to walk from the Dr.’s office to the hospital for my next appt. When I left the hospital appt. I decided to walk myself downtown. Total time: 45 minutes.
It was refreshing to get outside and walk and I feel kind of proud that I did this. (it had stopped raining)
