Necessary Mutilation

Weight: 192.3 lbs.

After work yesterday, Tom and I ran several errands, including a trip to the grocery store where we bought our pre-cooked dinners of roasted chicken.

Before I settled in to eat, I dressed for an evening in, and weighed myself. I was 191.5 before dinner. I felt that this might be shooting distance to get back near 190, where I then could focus on getting lower than ever and into my 180’s finally.

I ate some of the chicken and some spring mix cooked veggies that come in a bag. I drank several glasses of no-calorie “kool-aid” later, and went to bed pretty early because I have a long day today.

And weigh 192.3 this morning.

 I was thinking that I might be on my way back down, given that I thought that I did well diet wise, and ate only moderately. Before dinner, I had my usual egg/cheese breakfast, and desk cashews and 2 cheese sticks and a pear for snacks at work.

Why did I go up? I seriously get confused about such things at times, as I seem to go up when I think I should go down, and vice versa. Almost as if there is no rhyme or reason…or I am very sensitive to sodium and fluid. But if so, wouldn’t a few good pees get me back down? Or maybe they are.

I know that I must be diligent and can’t hang my hat in any direction on just one days worth of weigh-ins, but I do admit that it is puzzling and it would help if I understood what worked best so I could aim better in that direction.

Although I am sure that many of you are screaming the answer to this right now…something about sticking to it, exercise, moderation and low carb. you say. Hmmm….

What a novel concept!!!
