I just can't help it. . .

Mike once mentioned that his "vibe" on me was that I was the "happy" team member, always smiling and cracking jokes (four years working for Disney will do that to a person). He also told me that he didn't want to see me smiling anymore. "Put on your game face," he said. He was trying to get me to buckle down because, while my body fat/inches were coming down, I wasn't seeing the drop in pounds that he thought I should have been.

Well I hate to tell you, but the smiling hasn't ceased, especially after today's weigh-in. I actually don't know all the stats yet (they have to work out the numbers still), but I do know that I pulled off my best personal weight-loss since the beginning of the challenge. And while the numbers aren't staggering, my students would probably tell you that I was in one of the best moods I've been in since Christmas Break.

As you've read from the others, nothing is a guarantee when it comes to elimination weigh-ins. Nobody knows how the numbers will come out, or what criteria they'll use for this week's cut, but just knowing that I've done all that I could, worked as hard as my body would let me, and continued to garner substantial results. . .well, in the end that's the prize.

And I just can't stop smiling about it. . .
