I can feel the dust from the wagon wheels! 

I moved to a new apartment and I have a nice, level, solid floor for my "broken" scales that Target wouldn't take back. And they totally work now! So we are starting the Plunge all over again. Forget where I started before and where I ended up. 

175.0 lbs. The real problem is going to be stress. I kind of have a lot of it right now. Which makes me want to eat bad things and not move much. Besides the fact that the cortisol factor turns my calories into belly fat.

Which I also have found out is also an effect of Fibromyalgia. What a crappy thing. 

It was nasty hot and humid today, and Tyler and I went for a walk!!! Yay us!

I finally stopped by the Health Center today and got on the scales. 176 on the nose. Looking back on the blogs, it seems like the last time I weighed in the Health Center I was at 174.5, so I've only gained 1.5 pounds. That's pretty exciting, actually. You have no idea how far off the wagon I have fallen. Like, I fell off, and the wagon is now about a mile ahead of me. But I've gotten up and have started walking toward the wagon again. I'm not sure how long it'll take me to actually catch up to the wagon and hop on, but I'd venture to guess it'll be at least three weeks. We're closing the halls this week, and over the next two and a half weeks I have four campus interviews scheduled. Stress and more stress, and travel never equals good eating.

I didn't tell you either that I couldn't take my stupid scales back. I lost the receipt and I paid cash for it, and Target won't take stuff back without a receipt if it's over $20. I think I paid $29. Grr. But maybe once I get someplace with a hard level floor it'll work. If not, it'll be a good yard sale item for Dad.
