Bad Weekend of Eating

Against my better judgment, I jumped on the scale this morning……and gained 4 pounds!  Yep, you read correctly…..4 pounds.  I’m not concerned though and I’m not going to let it get me down.  This is where I wish I could use another “no weigh-in” pass, but if I start throwing that out there each week, I’ll never weigh-in and then find that when I do step on the scale, it’ll read a gain of more pounds than I’m willing to think of.  I can’t rely on the scale to determine how healthy I am.

I did eat well last week and did work out 4 times (weights and cardio).  This definitely had to make a difference, which makes me wonder if I should have weighed in Friday morning.  I was feeling great going into the weekend, but we went away this past weekend and we ate out a lot!  I have no willpower when going to a restaurant.  I can’t just order a salad or a side veggie plate.  I can’t even begin to describe some of the greasy concoctions I ate.  It all tasted amazing, but hardly any of it settled well.  Our hotel had a made-to-order breakfast and we ate dessert after almost every meal.

The big thing for me is jumping right back on track after a food fest like that.  I’m already determined I’m going to, so the motivation isn’t lost.  Here’s to a better week.
