Day #8 - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

I was both looking forward to and dreading today--the first weigh-in. I so wanted to see the pounds and inches melt away, yet I was worried that nothing was happening. My clothes still fit the same as they had been and I didn't feel any different. So here it goes...

THE GOOD: I lost 4.5 pounds! Yippee! I had hoped to lose 4 pounds the first week, and I did. Patting myself on the back.

THE BAD: I actually gained a 1/4 inch on my waist. Go figure!

THE UGLY: I lost the weight in my bust! Seems like a cruel joke, doesn't it? I went down a full inch!

Now I'm wondering how the fat from my bust dropped to my waist. Gravity? So, now I'm not only fatter around the middle, I also have less up top to balance out the appearance and fool everyone into thinking my waist is smaller. Guess I'll have to up my distance on my treadmill today.
