Angel 3.0 My Hand Just Grabbed the Water

Angel (to my daughter Skye, upon rising, on my way to weigh myself): "I'm SO upset with myself. I did ALL THAT to refrain from eating a bite last night when I took Lai to the Olive Garden. I weigh myself in the mornings when I wake up. That's my reward for fasting. I've fasted for 10 days. This is day 11."

Skye: "What happened?"

Angel: "I sat up, on the side of the bed, eager to go see if I've lost anymore weight. I've been losing about 1/3rd of a lb. these last few days. At the first it was more. My hand reached over to my water bottle and picked it up and started drinking WITHOUT ME TELLING IT TO. It wouldn't stop. So that's going to mess up the scales. It's going to add a .1 or something."

I go to weigh. 168.8

Angel: "I can't remember what it WAS yesterday. For exercise I've just been swinging my arms. I have that blue band (she knows). I've just been stretching with it."

I come here to write my story. I still haven't checked yesterday's story to confirm what yesterday's weight was.

I do know that when I was sitting on the side of the bed I rubbed my back with both hands. I noticed my body feels firmer. I'm telling myself, "You've completed 10 DAYS. No food. Just focus on doing that one more time. Do ANOTHER ten days. Then, you've GOT to be at least somewhere NEAR the 150's. My goal is 150, toned, and then maintained.

I go find my story from yesterday.

Angel (calling out to Skye in the other room): "It was 169.2. Today, it's 168.8. Even AFTER the WATER." We both go, "YAYYYYYY!"
