Weigh In

Okay...so let me start with all of the excuses.

1.  I just got back into town after traveling for a quick 48 hour trip....hence my body is all off.
2.  While I was on vacation, I ate like I was on vacation.
3.  There was one day that I actually ate 3200 calories...THAT IS ALMOST A POUND!
4.  I only exercised one day this week.
5.  I haven't had a really good BM in a couple of days.
6.  Can I blame TOM for one more week?

I'm pretty sad that I actually GAINED over half of a pound.  Actually, I am VERY sad!  But I guess when I look at everything that I just wrote it does make sense.  BUT honestly, I felt like I didn't do that bad...even on the day that I ate 3200 calories...I feel like it could have been so much worse (the wedding that I went to was a buffet with limited vegetarian options).  The open bar is where I went wrong...very, very, very wrong.

One other reason that it was really disappointing was that I have started to take that African Mango stuff that was recommended by Dr. Oz for weight loss.  I mean, it's only been four days (AND I did forget to take it on a couple of afternoons) but I have been secretly (and stupidly) hoping for miracles.  Oh well...I'm going to continue to take it and see what happens.

OK...let's cheer me up.  I can still be happy that:

1.  I can still fit into the size 4 pants that I bought and I'm actually going to be returning the 6's.
2.  I'm still under 130.
3.  I tracked calories the whole time that I was gone AND I was really conscious of what I was eating (clearly not as conscious about what I was drinking...)
4.  I've agreed to run two more 5K's in the next two months.
5.  I feel like I am back on track...I feel more determined than ever to continue losing.  It's a new week and I'm going to go hard!!!

So, that's my weekly stupid weigh in.  May is coming and I have one more weigh in before the scale returns to the top of the closet for a month.  I have kind of mixed feeling about the whole thing...but I think in the end it will be positive...as long as I see some kind of loss.  I think that I will weigh in again on May 1...six more days.
