Exciting Seeing the Scale Inch Downward

Today the scale played games with me and had a different read several times, but it ranged anywhere from 200.8 to 200.2! I think we need to find a location in our bedroom where the floor is level, but with hardwood floors it's been a bit difficult. I thought I had found a good spot, but I've noticed the reading likes to change quite a bit. According to the reviews on Amazon, the scale is really accurate, so it has to be something on our end.

I've also been meaning to post the little changes here and there that I've noticed. For the first time in I don't know how long, when I lie down I can feel my hip bones. Now granted I have to be laying down, but dammit, I feel them! I also can feel the bone that connects the inner thigh to my torso, by the pelvic area. Of course, being a fat girl, I've always noticed that area looking bony on all the models and thin girls wearing bikinis, but I didn't think I'd ever feel mine. My arms seem to be getting a bit more muscle as well, especially my biceps. I think today was also the first day I didn't want to gag at my own reflection in the mirror. I've done a happy dance in the changing room, but I don't recall really staring myself down until today. I was praying someone wouldn't come in to the restroom while I was examining how loose the shirt is that I am wearing today. I remember hating this shirt because it has some spandex in it and 40 pounds ago, it would cling to my stomach in a not-so-attractive manner. Now I'm swimming in it! I think it's really time we head to Ikea to buy a cheap full-length mirror!

In not so great news, my knee has been bugging me for about a week. It almost feels like it popped out of place and on occasion, while I'm walking, it will hyper-extend. I think if it keeps it up I'll have to head to the doctor, I just can't figure out a way to describe how it feels. Not a constant pain, but an occasional one accompanied by feeling like it's out of place. I'm betting it's from all the lunges and squats the trainer has been making us do, not that it stops me from doing them on my own! /whistles innocently
