weight report: 213.5 pounds...yay?

Wednesday is my weigh in day, and I report that I've lost all of half a pound. Looking at the reports on FitDay, I can see why I lost so little. I ate about 1,000 calories more than I burned one day last week, and I haven't cut that many this week. I'm not too depressed about it. I might not reach my goal for April (I'd have to lose about 2.4 lbs every week), but I think I could still get a shiny one up front by then. I'm still eating too much sodium, but my intake has dropped 1,000 mg, so that's still good. If I can continue that trend for the next few weeks I'll be good. I also opted for an olive oil salad dressing instead of Caesar, and I'm making sure I only use a serving of it instead of just dumping it on. Next step for me: adding a good source of potassium to my diet. (In case you haven't figured it out, I'm trying to lower my blood pressure.) After that is a little bit of exercise. I'm taking it slow because when I've tried to make big changes, it does work. I thought maybe if I took little steps it would be easier.

I started another writing table, this one at 12days, my claim being the Book of Shadows from Charmed, prompt table 3b Spring. I think that'll be fun. I might make another claim there, when I figure out what to claim. I'll probably be making another claim somewhere, for Teen Titans probably. I also considered trying a hand at original fiction, though I wouldn't know where to start. I know I like fantasy/supernatural type stuff, but I'm afraid I'm going to copy too much of what I've seen on TV. Any ideas/suggestions?

I keep thinking that I'm losing lots of weight, but when I weigh myself, I gain weight.

I know that I'm gaining a LOT of muscle from Yoga, Pilates, and working so much, but it's quite frustrating.

The number doesn't matter as much as your health. I'm sure you're a lot healthier than I am.
