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.

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.

A little frustrated by my progress as of late but glad to see the scale is still trending downward. Not being able to be as active as I’d like has really thrown a wrench into my plans to exercise 5 days a week. I still go 5 days a week, but I feel like I can’t put in as hard a workout as I could before since my knee injury. I did go early Friday morning and swim, so that may be something I continue to do: get up at the asscrack of dawn and go swimming. There is something soothing about swimming back and forth for 40 laps. All I do is concentrate on breathing, and propelling myself forward. I don’t have to think about anything else. It’s very Zen.
I have an MRI scheduled for this coming Saturday morning to see what’s going on in my right knee. If I have torn meniscus cartilage, I will have to have the knee scoped. When, I have no idea. I will have to find the time between now and EVER to be out of commission for about two weeks. I am NOT jazzed about this. At. ALL.

This week saw me lose most of the gain I had last week. How, I don’t know. This was a good week for the most part, though.
