I almost threw the grey box out of the window this morning.  I gained a pound last week.  I am back to 208.4… it was awful.  It ruined my whole day.  And what is worse, I weighed myself yesterday morning and I weighed around 203.  I just don’t get it… 5 pounds in a day?!  I just don’t understand– I know I went a little crazy, but to actually gain weight when the day before I was 5 pounds less.  Days like today make me want to quit.  What I didn’t do though, is quit.  I had a very good day. I stayed within my calories and I am confident I will do it again tomorrow.  What I know I shouldn’t do is weigh myself in the morning.  But I will… because to be up is always why I ultimately quit.

I am camping with my family this weekend– it is usually a good excuse to drink and eat a lot.  After this past weekend, and how much hard work I put in and how it can all go away in one day… I am hoping that I can keep it in check while camping and my goal this week is to stay within my calorie goal for at least 2 of the 3 days we camp.  I know that might be really hard while camping, but I am going to try.  Usually all three days would be an chance to overindulge.  I know I can’t do that.  I would say that I not go over any of the days– but that would just be setting myself up for failure.   I can’t take more failure like what I experienced this morning.
