Yesterday was a tough day for the momentum I had going this week. I broke my streak of 4 days in a row losing weight. There are a number of reasons why this happened, but regardless of those reasons I need focus on not having one "bad" day turn into another. 

Yesterday I went to a football game in the afternoon and then I went to a concert in the evening with my daughter. I expended enough energy that I was pretty hungry right before I went to bed. I hadn't eaten since 4 p.m. so I looked in the fridge and found some leftovers to devour right before bed. This wasn't the wisest of moves and I realize that if I had simply gone to bed I probably would have lost weight on the scale this morning. I'm regretting that decision last night, but I need to learn from it. I was so close to the finish line and I stopped short. 

Today is going to be another great but challenging day. It is the weekend and I don't have structure. We are going to a fall festival where there will be food trucks. If I can keep myself from overeating and not eat after 5 p.m. I should do well. We'll see what happens today and we'll see what the scale says tomorrow morning!

That Which Gets Measured Gets Done. 257.3 pounds. + 0.7 pounds today, - 0.5 pounds this week, + 0.1 pounds this month, - 22.7 pounds since May 1, - 75.7 pounds from my all-time high of 333 pounds.
I knew the results on the scale were not going to be what I wanted to see, but I needed to see the number anyway. That which gets measured gets done. Studies prove this. Those who weigh themselves daily lose more weight than those who don't. So as painful as it is to get on the scale when you know you've gained weight, you need to do it. That is the point, right? You need to be dealing with reality and connecting the dots in your mind that if you overeat you will gain weight, but if you follow a reasonable plan you will lose weight.  Last night was fantastic. The whole family was together celebrating a birthday. We grilled steaks and had a fabulous desert of yellow cake with chocolate frosting. My favorite! I thought that I would only have a little food but I ate a lot. I knew I would gain weight this morning, but it was worth it. It was so fun to be together as a family, and food is a great part of the celebration.  Today is going to be a good day. It is the weekend so that is always difficult in terms of eating since there isn't a normal schedule to keep me on track. I have a lot of projects to do around the house, so if I can keep from eating too much, and if I don't eat after 5 p.m. I am confident that I'll lose weight. We'll see what happens today and we'll see what the scale says tomorrow morning!
