Weigh in was 9 pounds. That was a surprise considering what all I had done to my body with the atkins on off thing. Perhaps I was doing it wrong...who knows. That would make sense since I didn't lose like I did when I was doing it in 2006.
I also know 9 pounds is probably water, but I like to think I lost some fat! Hubby said he noticed a difference (of course losing 9 pounds of water is quite a difference!)
I'm going to talk about the "soundbites" of the meeting in the next blog day. The thing with my sister is getting odd and I'd rather write about that. So she's been doing shakes and 1 meal (800 calories total per day) since I started the program. At first I was a little bugged by that. I'm over it. She said on Friday "I'm eating twice the calories, so I should lose half as much as you" I decided I don't really want to tell her how much I've lost because I think she will get discouraged. It's not as simple as a little math problem. There's exercise, ketosis, body structure...I didn't get into all of that.
She invited us over to her house for 4th of July. She told us to come at noon. I thought about it later and thought yikes 9 hours is a long time! I brought the Wii, thank GOD! Step son would have gone out of his mind without it. Sis had announced the day before she was going to go off her diet for the the 4th. She qualified it (I don't know why she felt she had to qualify it) with I told myself I was going to go off for certain things like the 4th, anniversary, birthday... I just said oh that's good. I still find the whole thing odd.
I expected her to be critical of me (because that's what she does when she is being over critical of herself) It was a good day until we played cards. At one point my cousin did something and I said calmly "I think I won with this jack, but M put his card over mine, so you can't see it." My cousin sarcastically said "boy, you sure follow the rules!" My sister went on this diatribe "OH YA! SHE'S BIG ON RULES! SHE LIKES TO WORK IN LIBRARIES WHERE IT'S ALL ABOUT RULES, AND SHE'S VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNION, SO SHE KNOWS ALL THE RULES AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THEY AREN'T FOLLOWED!" That's the reader's digest version. Half way thru it her hubby shh'd her (that was new, not sure why he did that) and at the end my cousin said "I don't know what that means...does that mean if I'm late bringing a book back I will be fined AND I have to polish the book?" I just looked at him and said...I don't know what it means either. It was very quiet and then we went back to playing. I'm glad I can't drink on this. Had I been drinking I would have jumped on the defense and I would have felt hurt when it was all over...as it was I just felt bad for her.
I love my sister and I want to keep a relationship with her, but I think she has a lot of shit going on!

What's up with that? I wonder about the competition. How many years apart are you? Too many to be competing, don't you think?
Interesting that you didn't think your weigh in would be 9 lbs as it was the first time. That says a lot about your body, right? That you lost the same amount at the same time?
I don't know what the competition thing is...the fact is she has a MUCH smaller bone structure than me. She has longer legs...there's no competition...she wins. She has more of a petite female figure. When ever we talk about my program and we do a lot...she seems obsessed with it...the conversation turns to her weight loss. Its very strange. As for having the same body after all these...it was unexpected that is for sure, but yes it speaks volumes.
