Up 4.4 pounds this week but I know exactly why. I ate way more starchy carbs than usual while on vacation last week. This was a conscious choice I made, and I’m not sorry I did it. I knew what would happen if I did it, and I knew what the consequences would be. So I’m not surprised that I saw a jump on the scale this morning. I am surprised it wasn’t greater! But I’m also glad it wasn’t greater.

This week I am grateful for no change on the scale. I am struggling mightily with keeping motivated to stay the course.

Surprised by this week’s progress. I traveled out of town for a conference, so planning for meals was tough because I didn’t know what would be available. I did work out two of the three mornings of the conference as my hotel had a fantastic gym in the bottom of it. I also ended up walking nearly 15000 steps each day I was away. I think that helped stave off any potential weight gain I could have had. Given how I did eat while I was away, I was shocked it didn’t show up more on the scale this morning. I dreaded stepping on it this morning but knew I needed to hold myself accountable, so I put on my big kid pants, sucked it up and weighed.

Not terribly pleased with the scale this week, but it’s all my own doing. And it needs to stop.

Discouraged this week by the slight uptick on the scale but this week was the week from hell. Unfortunately this whole month looks to be that way. This week, I fell down on the job of taking care of myself, and I let stress make choices for me that I wouldn’t have made otherwise.
