So, I burned a THOUSAND CALORIES on the bike yesterday. Two hours, a little over twenty miles. I ate some jambalaya, and some peanuts.

And I stepped on the scale this morning...and hadn't lost a single stinkin' pound. Considering the fact that I was able to gain two pounds in one trip to the movie theater, you can imagine my displeasure.

After my shower, I shaved my legs and clipped my nails, and stepped back onto the scale. Oh, look. A whole pound came off.

I loathe my scale; I have no idea how accurate it really is. I loathe my body; my metabolism is shot to shit. I realize that this is the price we pay for getting older, but I don't have to like it.

Bah.

New scale needed? :(

That must have been some awe-inspiring leg hair.

KIDDING! DON'T HURT ME!

*snerk* Oh, it was, trust me. It's weird, though. Shaving and clipping nails has been known to make a TWO POUND difference within ten minutes. That right there tells me the damb thing isn't at all accurate. I hate my scale. Hate hate hate.

No point in loathing your body--it's the only one you get. It seems a truce is in order.

Kudos for exercising.

Now, now. Keep in mind that some of that weight could be water retention or muscle gain. You're not always going to see immeadiate results. Be patient and don't starve yourself. ;) *hugs*

Get Oprah's old book "Make the Connection." That's how I repaired my metabolism by in '96.

It involved hitting the aerobic exercise of my choice in the AM, followed by breakfast within 20 min. of stopping. Besides all the good foods you know about, I'm sure, I also did not have anything to eat after 7.

It's a really valuable book.

Are you moving the scale at all? Mine moves a lot depending upon where in the bathroom it is.
