Two Confessions...Two Lessons...

1 - Hubby got called out, oh, about 2:00am this morning.  I loaded my gun and put it under the far side of his pillow (that helps me sleep when he's gone at night...far side so I don't accidentally knock it off...even though I don't venture onto his side) and then...

I ate two pumpkin spice covered chocolate malt balls.

I fully expected to have gained a few pounds when I stood on the scale this morning.

I didn't.  The number was lower than yesterday's number.

2 - There is a big mirror over my sink, there are huge mirrors around my garden tub.  I tell you this so you realize there is NO way to avoid seeing yourself in my bathroom.

Today, I have been very tired.  Before getting in the shower, I'm yawning and stretching and happen to look in the mirror and see a lump and think, "What the crap is that!?!!?"  I move and look closer, lift my arm up over my head, gingerly go to touch the lump...and...

It's my ribs.

You may now take a laughing break.

Apparently, I haven't seen my ribs for a long time.

So.  Crisis averted.  I don't need to go to the doctor.

It's just my ribs...showing up when I stretch...

Lessons learned?

Two malted balls do not make me fat.

Live so that having your ribs being a part of your life is normal.

Thank you Dr. Dukan.  I can feel my hip bones...I can feel my ribs...that's cool.
