The Side Effect of Working--Losing Weight

Well, I never expected to lose weight while working. I sit all day, reading a computer screen. I don't call that exercise. Yet, the scale definitely says that five pounds have mysteriously disappeared. And no, I do NOT have to turn around for someone to find them "behind" me, as my dear father joked.

I can attribute this weight loss to a few factors.

1. I don't snack.

2. I don't cook.

3. I am too busy to eat.

4. My schedule is crazy.

So yes, I eat about 1200 calories between breakfast and lunch. I don't eat dinner, not necessarily by choice. It's just the nature of my schedule for now. As soon as I get home from work, I teach piano. After sitting all day, I don't want to sit anymore. Consequently, I walk three miles. Once back home, I start checking the home schooling assignments. The boys have usually cleaned the kitchen, so that last thing I want to do is create a mess that I have to clean. Also, by the time I'm ready to sleep, I too tired to notice that I didn't have dinner.

We'll see if this keeps up.
