Hello folks,
I forgot to weigh this morning. My weight is up. That much I know. All week my weight has been between 170-172. I assume its water. I'm not very happy about it. It's pretty frustrating considering how good I felt about my weight last week. However this blog is about being honest and about documenting my journey. I was tempted to just skip the blog today since I don't have anything to celebrate, but I realized that would not be honest. I'm sure every weight loss journey has its ups and downs.
I feel as though I have not gone too far off track. I had 2 caesars on Saturday. The sodium in them always makes my weight go up, but I would have thought it would be flushed out by now. I have made a conscious effort to increase my water consumption. My other indiscretions were a piece of deep fried fish and small amount of party mix. I know my consumption of off-limit foods has been small enough that my weight gain cannot be fat. There are 3500 calories in a lb of fat. So you have to over consume 3500 calories more than you are burning off in order to gain 1 lb. And I certainly have not over consumed that much. However in my case, it seems as though one small grain of salt... can result in a 5 lb weight gain. So not fun!
So yes, I have had 3 items this week that I should not have had. It's time I smarten up. I want to reach my goals. I don't need to eat this salty junk. I didn't like the way I felt after the party mix. The fish, it was eaten in a moment of limited options and I did not eat the fries that came with it. The caesars, well they are going to be a lot harder to resist. Although, I contacted Mott's on Facebook and asked about them making a reduced sodium version. They promptly wrote me back and said they are currently working on a 25% reduction of sodium! It will still be high in sodium, but at least its a start.
I really hope to flush out these extra lbs before my next weigh in. So far I have been down each time I have been to the Dr Poon office. I don't want to have that feeling of disappointment in their office. I wish I had one of those Tanita body composition scales at home. I would like to see on paper what my fat and water weight are. My scale tells body fat percentage and hydration percentage but I just don't trust my scale the way I do theirs.
I'm thawing out a pack of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Trying to decide just what I will make for dinner. Perhaps Carbquick Chicken Parm.
I invited my cousin over last night to watch the season premier of Survivor. I put on my favorite pair of jeans that I bought last year. They were falling off of me. A little disappointing because I loved those jeans... but very happy to see that my body really has changed. Okay well that's all for this week. I truly hope that I have better news next week. Please wish me luck.
Here's to staying the course!
