I've been absent from the blog since last Wednesday ... and the scale showed my lapse yesterday. I'm up 5 pounds. Ugh.
Blame it on my birthday, a food-filled weekend with the Boyfriend, a Friday night of raging
munchies (seriously — I could NOT stop eating. I thought it had something to do with a crappy day at work, but TOM started again Saturday, when I wasn't expecting it. It's early). I didn't journal and I indulged way too much.
I could also blame part of the gain on not drinking enough water and weighing in the
afternoon instead of the morning.
Whatever my excuses, I'm now that much further from hitting my goal weight by Thanksgiving. Why is it that I can't seem to get out of the 180s? Last week, I was getting close. Now I'm nearly back at 190 again.
Aargh!
Well, it's early enough for me to head out for a walk before it gets too warm. Funny how some of my online friends are dealing with snow, but here in Arizona — at least the part where I am today — it's going to be in the 70s. Flagstaff's supposed to get into the 60s, but I'm at the Boyfriend's again today.
Yesterday, we took a hike — literally. I have some beautiful pictures of the scenery around this little trail I didn't know existed. It's hard to believe that all these different landscapes exist in one little area.
But first, I'm off for that walk. No excuses! (Yes, I'm still trying to cultivate that attitude. It's going to take a while ...)
Just dropping by to leave a comment!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry too much. Most of that 5 lbs is probably water weight from eating junk. You'd have to eat almost 20,000 extra calories to gain that much fat in two weeks.
That's true ... but it's still easy to get upset when you see the scale change that much. I wish I didn't let the scale dictate my mood so easily.
