What Is That Smell?!

Kate, holding her nose at the stinky Pig Chase.  
Hopefully, this is not how bad burning fat smells!

My family has noticed a smell.  It's me.  And, they don't really like it.

Yes, I have showered!  And I've used deoderant!  (Don't be funny!!!)

It's more of an essence than an odor, I guess.  It's like when my husband comes home from work and I instantly know he had onions on his sandwich at lunch.  It's not his breath.  It's a total essence of onion being given off from his every pore.  I think it's kind of the same thing.  Only not onions.

It's the smell of fat being used for fuel.  I have researched it a bit and found it is a fairly common experience for people who are in fat burning mode.

So, Dan and I are sitting alone last night watching our favorite TV show (Once Upon a Time, of course!) and he suddenly, out of the blue, says, "I have good news and bad new about tonight."  Uh-oh.  I sensed a serious conversation coming...

"The good news is, your losing weight again.  The bad news is, I know because I can smell it!"

He was right.  I was down several pounds this morning. (He likes being right about things like this!)

Isn't it crazy that my husband can smell me losing weight?  I kind of like it!

Sorry if the rest of you can smell it too.  I happen to think it's worth it, don't you?

  2. Oo, Sara, very poetic! I too think the scent of victory must be on you. That is the coolest thing...about the smell related to fat burning. I smell different because I'm taking vitamins. Either way, it's the smell of health.
    Love you! Can't wait to "smell you" soon!
