Fluctuation is a 4-letter word.
I know I’m not supposed to weigh myself every day. I know I’m not supposed to put so much stock in what numbers come up because there are so many factors that can have an effect on them. I know. I know.
I was so stoked, though, the past few days. I’ve been getting exercise every day and finally the numbers were MOVING. I had broken the 280-barrier and had ventured into the 270’s. I lost three pounds in six days. Getting on the scale every morning had turned into the highlight of my day!
The scale says I’ve gained back almost a whole pound. My husband says either the scale is wrong or I’m full of shit. Literally. LOL. I admitted to him that I have not done yet today what is usually done by now.
We went out to Cracker Barrel last night - but it was planned! I had actually entered exactly was I was going to eat into FitDay before we even went to the restaurant! Then once I was there, I ordered and ate ONLY what I’d planned to eat. Mike noticed my leftover biscuit and asked, “Aren’t you going to eat that?” No, I don’t need it, furthermore, I don’t want it.
So now it’s 2 pm on Sunday and I haven’t had a thing to eat yet so far today. This is normal for us on the weekends. Yeah, breakfast is supposed to be important but it’s not uncommon for Mike and I to eat our first bite of food at about 3pm. I kinda like it when it happens because then I’m allowed to scarf down 1500 calories in just half-a-day instead of a full one.
I hope by tomorrow morning I’ll see some progress. I’m definitely getting on the bike later today!
