How to gain 5 pounds in 1 day!
I think I’m going to tape an infomercial explaining how to gain 5 pounds in 1 day. I checked yesterday morning and saw 230.0. Food for the day continued to be good…until we came home from the hospital. What I have learned about myself is that I’m a rock during a crisis but when the trouble is gone I have trouble. I was able to eat healthy foods and exercise while Kyle was in the hospital but once we got home I started the comfort eating. Of course I didn’t realize it was comfort eating at the time, I was just going to eat a bite or two of something yummy. I’ll spare you the details of the exact foods I ate but this morning the scale showed 235.0 I’m smart enough to know I didn’t honestly gain 5 pounds, a lot of it was probably water b/c I ate a lot of salty stuff. I’m back on plan today and have to weigh-in tomorrow for my challenge so we’ll see how much actual damage I did.
Kyle is doing well but the saga continues at school. I came back to a poor sub note in one of my classes, bad enough that our principal had to be called. Our principal was gone today so I couldn’t talk with him about it but after I talked to several kids in the class it sounds like the sub made a racial slur to one of the kids that set off the confrontation. I then talked w/the specific kids who were involved and we talked about how they could have handled the situation better. I left a message for my principal stating that we need to talk about what happened; I’ll be curious to see how it turns out.
After school I put in my hour at the gym which puts me over the 250 minute mark for this weeks challenge. I had considered dropping out w/Kyle being in the hospital but I knew that I could do it if I put my mind to it. Without the focus of this challenge and Eileen’s stars I don’t think I would have done as well. Thanks, gals, for keeping me on track.
