My weekend of indulgent eating finally showed up on the scale this morning. Since weighing myself four days ago, my weight remained unchanged each day until this morning. I was beginning to think my scale was broken, but today my weight was up 1.3 pounds.
I know it's water weight at this point, but I do need to be more mindful. I say this as I sit here with a belly full of pizza. Sigh. I did have a meal planned for the night, but I ended up babysitting for a friend today, which was delightful, but chasing and playing with a 1 year old baby all afternoon made me very tired, so when my husband suggested ordering pizza I only had to think about it for negative .03 seconds. I think I said, "Okay," before he even got the suggestion out of his mouth.
Tomorrow I'm going to eat light and drink lots of water and hop right back into my healthier groove. I think I might wait until the day after tomorrow to check the scale, though. I'm feeling sore afeared.
Let not your heart be troubled! :) A carb-tastic indulgence is going to show up on the scales for sure, but remember - do a little better today than you did yesterday (not perfect, just better), and keep looking for the 'overall downward trend'. :) x
ReplyDeleteIt won't be hard to do better today/tomorrow (I'm off to bed in just a few minutes.) than I did today. I can definitely do that! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd remember, it's not just about the food, it's also about feeling better overall. I think you're doing so well, with starting up yoga, and even the babysitting for a friend - got you out of the house and playing and having fun :)
ReplyDeleteYou're exactly right! Thank you.
