Weight? What?

jo_anne_stormI don't normally watch the doctor talk shows. Because the doctors annoy me. But I was impressed with Dr. Oz starting out his spiel today saying that being healthy did not mean looking like Twiggy. Yay.
So... I stepped on the scale today. I don't normally, because it depresses me. And for the first time in about 8 years, it read under 200 pounds. *blinks* I've lost approximately 15 pounds in a month. How? Good question. Where? Also a good question.
OK, I have made some lifestyle changes. I'm trying to not sit my fat butt in front of the tv/computer so much. And trying, with limited success, to do some sort of exercise every day, even if it's just some crunches. We've switched back to whole wheat bread and pasta, for the most part. And I'm trying to drink more liquids during the day. Which is oddly hard. I forget to drink and I? don't know why.
I should mention that we don't really eat unhealthy around here. I mean, sure, we should add in more fruits and veggies, but there's really no junk food in my house. The kids eat apples, pears, bananas, etc for snacks. We easily go through 9 pounds of apples a week. That's just the apples. And they're not going to waste. Youngest eats everything but the stem. Eldest leaves a scrap of the core.
So where did my lost 15 pounds come from? No idea. I don't look or feel like I have lost any weight. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled that I'm under 200 pounds again, but I really wish I could see the change.
Of course, the 15 pounds could just be from the hair #3 has pulled from my head. Today.
