Onederland

Earlier I described the phenomena of onderland. It was a while back when one scale died and I purchased a new one.  The new one weighed me in significantly less.  I knew better but physiologically I was at a point that I needed to celebrate so I did!


This morning, I was actually there! My scale weighs in tenths.  I was barely there but I was there.  This is going to be a difficult week to not pop back out of onerland.  It is the week of the month that I retain water.  It is also my birthday this week so we are going out for a special supper.  I am not worried about it.  I am used to bouncing 3-4 pounds. 


I am a bit curious to see how it is going to bounce this week.  There is one other thing different.  My blood sugar levels have been bouncing between 98 and 113 which is very good.  After all, that is my target to be healthy and medicine free without a doctor nagging me.  I know that the doctors want me about 60 pounds lighter but I don't think that would be a healthy weight for me.  Too skinny and you don't have the extra needed when you fight an illness. I am targeting 40 more pounds before I start maintenance.  It will be a challenge because my body loves living on the plateau. LOL
