Dear Bathroom Scale..

Look, I don't like you, and I suspect you don't like me. I'd appreciate it then if, when I step on you in the morning, you could not lie to me. This morning you said I'd gained 4lbs since last week. This is not true, and we both know it. I know I had a "weekend of luxury", but I don't think I had so much "luxury" to gain 4lbs! You and I are not on the same page, and we somehow need to get there.

Tomorrow, or the next day we'll meet up again, and I hope that this time the news you have will be more agreeable. In the meantime, I'll keep doing what I'm doing and hope that you'll come around.

Until then, my mortal enemy.

Love,
Me

I'm Not Gonna Say I've Been Bad...

But... I definitely wasn't good this weekend. I was lazy, and ate junk like it was going out of style. It was certainly a weekend of luxury. We did a lot of eating out and a lot of sitting at home watching movies, but it was great.

Today is back to tracking, back to healthy meals and back to walking. I did the walk home from work again, and it felt great after spending the last few days in lazy mode. I love the temperature lately, it's so perfect for the walk. It's nice and relaxing, and I don't get to my destination all hot and sweaty. Not that there's anything wrong with getting all sweaty, it's just a little uncomfortable to start work in that state.

Anyhow, I'm off to relax the rest of the evening, and perhaps look for some nice healthy new recipes to try :)

So...

After bemoaning my lack of weight loss this past week, I stepped on the scale this morning to find that I am down another 2 lbs!

Yay me!

I am also officially more than 25% done my walking goal for the month. Another yay me!

:-D

Not Quite Abandoned

It's been quite some time. Months.

I won't lie. I was being lazy. I was eating whatever I wanted.

I started gaining back the weight I'd lost.

For the past few weeks I've been tracking everything again. Every bite. I've been (mostly) eating healthy, and I've been on track to lose this weight again. I'm walking again. For the most part, it's one way either to or from work. Some days it will be both. It feels good to be moving again.

Still, with all of this, I can't quite figure out why I've gained again. I'm not going to obsess over it (well, maybe not) and I'll leave it be for another week or so. Could just be water. Maybe I need to re-evaluate how much I'm eating and how much I'm exercising. Maybe I am obsessing.

I've also signed up on Run Keeper where I can make little mini-goals for myself to keep me moving. The first of such goals is to 75 miles in the month of October. As long as I stick with walking each day (the walk to work is approximately 3 miles), this should be totally do-able.

At any rate, I'm trying to not be frustrated with the lack of "weight loss" and remind myself that whether or not I weigh less, I'm still doing things that are healthy for me. In the end, that can't be all bad.. can it?
