No, I am not having a Britney Spears flashback moment. You guessed it, I gained again! However, this week it was only 0.2 lbs. Let me explain: all last week I was a little more careful of what I ate and what I put in my mouth for the most part. Thursday night was 50/50 on if I would gain or lose. So Friday morning I got up, got showered, put on my jeans, shirt and cute scarf (that I made BTW) and headed to my meeting. I hopped on the scale and the lady said in a whisper and a frown on her face, "honey, you're up 0.2". My response was, "Hell, that's better than last week's 3lb gain." Not exactly what she thought she would hear but whatever...that's just how I am.
I sat down to wait for the meeting to start and it hit me...JEANS...clothes. The 0.2 was because of the clothes I was wearing. You see, up until this week I weighed in every week wearing the exact same clothes: t-shirt, sports bra, underwear and shorts. Hell, everyone knows that winter clothes weigh a lot more than summer clothes. JACKPOT! I guess it is good that I "forgot" to wear my weigh in outfit b/c from this point on I would look pretty silly in shorts and a t-shirt in 30 degree weather!
The meeting was great, it was with a leader that I had never met before and she was great. Very thought provoking and I left feeling motivated. So motivated that I went out to lunch and had: garlic bread, pizza, and 4 beers! DAMN IT...grrr. Oh well...life goes on and I am going to live my life. I am not going to be a FAT MAMMA but I am not going to be one of those over the top crazy people that deny themselves everything. I am taking it one day at a time...yesterday was not a great day in the diet world but that's OK...I can and I will do better today!
