Drum Roll Please

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been on a mission to lose 7 lbs by tomorrow morning's trip to Arizona for my stuffingfacewithwonderfulfoodanddrinks extravaganza. I stuck to my promise of walking maya everyday, removed all snacks from my desk, ate lots of fruit and high fiber goodies, drank lots of water, and showed up to an ice box office everyday where it's so flipping cold I am in a constant calorie burning, shivering state. But if it wasn't for 6 days of the midgridcycle* virus, that caused me to be so sick after eating that I swore I would never eat again, I probably wouldn't have lost as much weight as i did.
However! Now that the weight is gone, I can't figure out where it came from. I don't look or feel like I lost anything. Isn't that the point of diets and exercise? No wonder it's so hard for people to diet...... I really don't like doing things that don't make me feel good. Good thing I live to feast on Arizona food, because after a two weeks of focusing all my time and energy on something that didn't give me warm fuzzy feelings, I will take great joy in food spending time with my family in my third heaven**.

I am currently fluctuating between 8 and 10lbs, depending on the time of day i weigh myself. Either way, I lost what I wanted to lose. Yippy!
