Weigh In 10

I’m back! …and I’m considering moving my weigh-in date to Tuesdays because it always gets buried beneath the Monday Mailbag post. Then again, I could just post the weigh in on top… Meh.

I’m back! Haha. And I have weighed in, despite considering not doing so (post-vacation weigh-ins are not fun). But alas, avoiding it isn’t going to make it going away…

SW: 256 pounds
LW: 241 pounds (Last weigh in on September 29th)
CW: 246 pounds

As we say in Oz, ‘not happy Jan’. Five pounds gained does not make me happy, but I’m not going to punish myself over it.

1. I’m probably still retaining water because of the trip.
2. It could be worse.
3. I was able to enjoy myself on the trip, which means a lot to me.
4. I didn’t get the chance to drink as much water as I should have and I didn’t get time for regular scheduled eating, so five pounds isn’t that bad.
5. I was away for over a week! Five pounds from being on the road isn’t so bad.

So overall, I’m disappointed that I gained, but I’m not beating myself over the head about it. I’ve lost it before and I can lose it again. I’m drinking heaps of water and eating healthy once again, so I have no doubts I can get back to where I was by the end of the month. (Crossing fingers that most of the weight is water retention.)

I’m very excited about next weekend as well because we should be able to buy our elliptical machine. Not only will I have an exercise machine I’ve fallen in love with, I’ll be getting exercise by cleaning out the spare room. Ha!

Good things ahead!

How are you going?
