yesterday was weigh in day at weight watchers. patsy, bec, christine and i joined on the first weekend after the new year. we meet every sunday morning at 8:30 am, climb on those scales, and accept the news, good or bad. the scales don't lie. so far we've all had consistent losses. herman doesn't weigh in with us but he's doing his own version of the program. he calls it the light beer diet, and i guess we should listen to him because he's losing faster than any of us. it just isn't fair. men are blessed with those hummingbird metabolisms and women can never compete with that. wha, wha, wha!
we all received our good news with good cheer. any endeavor of this sort is always more fun when you have friends with whom to celebrate your successes. we have adopted a fifth loser into our group. her name is willoughby and she has the most weight to lose. i'm extra happy she has joined us because until she joined our ranks i boasted that distinction. christine has only a few pounds to lose, patsy's modest goal is fifteen pounds ( she's already looking slimmer) and bec says she will lose twenty, and i need to lose..... well...... a bunch. let's just leave it at that.
this morning i pulled myself out of bed, dressed and headed up to the gym. it was cold, dark and raining. i got out of the car and had to hopscotch my way to the gym door, avoiding huge puddles of water as not to get my new shoes soaked. that happened to me once before with a brand new pair of shoes, and forever more they squeaked with every step i took until i finally bought a new pair.
as i was working out i listened to msnbc. the news woman said that today is officially the most unhappy day of the year. it is the day that all of the christmas bills start rolling in, the worst day for weather, and the day that most people realize they are not going to keep their new year resolutions. just listening to her was depressing, but then i figured she gave me the bad news while i was actually maintaining my new year's resolution, so how bad could it be?
