After a fantabulous week last week, my monthly “friend” has me glaring at the scale. After walking 11.25 miles this week, I’m one pound heavier than I was last week (it had been 3) :zombie:
Bah humbug. I know there are benefits of exercise besides weight loss. I know it’s not a week lost. But there’s nothing worse than a cranky PMS-y woman who is working her butt off and can’t lose weight. I think I saw the scale cringe today.
Weight lost: 35
P2G:150
This weekend, I am going to a scrapbook retreat. Friday night, all day Saturday, and part of Sunday. Can’t wait to see how many pages I can get done.
I went to one of these in October, before I was dieting. Here are the snacks I took along:
)Oh my!! Can you say BINGE?!?!?! Now that I am watching what I eat, there is NO WAY I’d consume all that junk food in a weekend!
This time around, I am making smarter choices:
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided so obviously, the above is not all I will eat! 
Can I tell you?? … I am actually going to miss NOT walking on my treadmill tomorrow. I might try to take a walk around the building but it’s supposed to be VERY cold so I don’t know if I see that happening! The good thing is, I’ll only miss one day because I’m getting ready to walk when I get off here for today then I’ll be back early Sunday and will be able to walk that evening! Who’d a thunk that I would be regretting that I won’t be able to get my exercise in!!! LOL I am planning to take along my yoga/pilates mat… but I doubt I’ll end up doing it. But can’t hurt to have it, right?!?!?! I don’t remember seeing a TV the last time I was there but I think I might go ahead and throw in my new pilates tape I bought off ebay! It’s always good to be prepared, right?!
Weigh in this morning followed this calculation:
Add dinner with friends, including wine/cheese & pasta.
Plus Superbowl Sunday.
Plus 10pm pizza.
Plus Take Out Chinese.
Plus “Christmas” in February.
Minus wise choices.
Equals = 0.8lb gain.
I suppose given all of the above happening in one week, I should be relieved that it was only 1 lb.
What I’m not relieved about is that I should have been able to control my choices rather than just rolling with it and ignoring that little voice – you know the one.
What I’m not relieved about is that I also neglected to exercise – AT ALL – which may have given me a fighting chance to counter those bad choices.
What I’m not relieved about is that it will take me 2 weeks to get rid of that 1 lb.
Volleyball starts next week – here’s to getting fit and making better choices – no matter the circumstance.
