Well, let me just say that I've been doing so well lately. I've been doing everything right. I've been steadily losing weight, and coming closer and closer to my goals. That's the good news. What's the bad? What is the purpose of this post? Here goes...
This past weekend, we went camping. It was an intentional screw up from the beginning...I was fooling myself into thinking that I could handle the situation but I was lying to myself. The reality was that for meals, we planned on eating hot dogs friday night, quesadillas for breakfast, chili and cheese over fritos for saturday's lunch, and more hot dogs on saturday night. We also supplemented all of this with chips and lots of beer. Oh, did I mention that I drank about 12 ounces total of water for Friday night and Saturday all day and night??? Bad bad bad...I know.
We had a GREAT time though. I mean fabulous. There is nothing like communing with Mother Nature.
I weigh myself every day and average it out after 7 days. Last week's average was 215.2 lbs. That was a 2.11 lb loss from the week before. What did I weigh this morning after a weekend of overindulgence? 219.2 lbs. But I am not going to freak out about it until the end of the week when I average it all out. I couldn't have gained all that in two days. I think it was because I ate a lot of salty foods and drank no water and dehydrated myself with all that beer. To top it off, after I weighed myself, we went off to the buffet for lunch! What gives, people?
Now what the do I do about Thanksgiving??? I was hoping to enjoy myself on Thanksgiving but now I am going to be worrying about what I am eating because of what I did this past weekend!
