Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating!
Here's the breakdown:
number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO!
number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less).
Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much anear death resting pulse), had sweat pouring from my forehead as I was running on an INCLINE (5.0) and yet, never lost a pound. It LIES!! Drastic news calls for drastic measures. Stay tuned. My plan will work even if it means I punch Tony in the face.
**Please don't email with supportive words about how the numbers on the scale mean nothing or how it only matters how my clothes fit, or how I am building muscle, blah, blah, blah. I know. I know. I know. I know. I am writing for my own comic relief. I know next week will be better. Just hang in there through the whining ;)!

"It's my blog and I can whine if I want to, whine if I want to." Sorry that was just what came to my mind as I read your comment ;) Of course I will keep working. I don't quit. I think that is the ND in me--we are loyal to whatever and whomever, regardless. To quit is not in our vocabulary.
J--good news. I lost 2 pounds thus far this week. Yippee!! Thanks for the unsolicited support. I think you are pretty awesome too.

I won't leave you with empty words about "building muscle" or how "it weighs more than fat". In fact, I'm pretty convinced that the diet industry is in cahoots with the scale industry...if the scale doesn't show results, then you'll buy more diet products. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
But, I will leave you with a *hug*. You can do this! Can't wait to hear what your new plan of attack is!
