Weigh In Eight
This is another late weigh in. My apologies. I’m not long back from a vacation that has left me sore and tired so I’m running a little behind on things. Plus it’s time of month along with me having just had four days of eating on the road, so getting on the scale to see how I am doing wasn’t exactly my priority.
I tried to be good even though we were on vacation, but it’s not easy with the meals offered at some places. Plus you’re on vacation, so even if you did pack your food diary, you might not always have it right on hand.
I wasn’t perfect this weekend by any means, so part of me is scared to get on the scale. But I certainly will tomorrow morning just because it’s better to know what I’m working with. It’ll help motivate me along.
My plan this week is to get back to the gym Wednesday (to give myself a day of slow recovery from the hiking). I need to put a real focus on drinking the minimum amount of water as well as eating bland foods for a while. I came home and found myself with a very sensitive and upset digestive system. I have no doubt that’s from all the crappy eating that I did over the long weekend.
How are you doing with your weight loss? Did you see a loss or a gain this week? No change? How are your measurements looking? What’s your plan of action for this week?

The hiking was probably great exercise for you! But if you’re water intake wasn’t so hot, you’ll probably be retaining water like crazy.
That’s what is going on with me.
We were active all weekend, being outdoors and stuff, but my water intake was half of what it should be. As a result, I’m retaining water like a sponge.
But I drank and drank and drank my water yesterday and already the water weight is melting off.
Just remember when you get on the scale that you had a great weekend and that you will make up any ground you’ve lost!

And here that was the last thought on my mind with only one bottle of water between me and my husband. Thanks for reminding me! I saw a gain this week, and coupled with time of month, that would definitely do it.
I think I’ll do what you’re doing and drink as much as I can and see what happens. Hopefully it helps with me like it has with you.
And the weekend was so worth it anyway…

you are welcome! I have already noticed the scale moving down now that I’m back up to snuff on the water. It’s amazing how the body will try to make us crazy.

Or how the scale will.
