Bye-bye birdie!**

A very wise lady gave me some advice the other day; she said to stop obsessing over pounds lost, to instead focus on inches lost and how clothes are fitting. So I listened to her and put away the scale. (At least until my monthly weigh-in on the 21st.)

Because it was getting bad, people. Weighing myself up to three times a day, hoping the numbers would be in my favor, which they never were. Even though I'm doing an hour workout every day and eating fairly healthy. So it was incredibly frustrating and frankly, I was getting depressed about it!

But the other day I noticed something that gave me hope and just flat-out astounded me. I no longer have my "chicken cutlets"! Do you know what that is? Most women with large breasts have them -- the fatty little roll ("cutlet") under the armpit. The bigger the breasts, the bigger the cutlet. When I had my breast reduction back in 2000, the doctor informed me I would need a second surgery to remove those fat deposits. I never did get that done and so for the last 10 years I've had my these two lovely chicken cutlets.

But now they're gone! How incredible is that? I am so thrilled.

So yeah, I may not have lost any actual pounds yet, but obviously something is going on in my body thanks to all that exercising. Woohoo!

**Because a chicken's a bird, get it?
