Our least favorite friend TOM arrives for a stay
Well, after all my hard work & exercise in the past week to get rid of those pounds I gained back over Labor Day, I weighed in this morning and saw no change from last week’s number. I’m 100% sure this is due to Mr. Tom’s arrival, so I know that I’ll see that number fall at next week’s weigh-in, but it’s frustrtating nonetheless!

Today I’ve been doing well, I’m sucking down water like it’s going out of style in order to try to control the water retention issue this week, and I’m eating the healthy foods I brought to work with me. I didn’t get to run this morning but I’ll probably go this evening after work. No…I WILL go this evening after work! I’ll commit to that right now so I know I have to blog about it tomorrow and I won’t want to have to admit a failure to you guys!

I leave Wednesday evening to go to the beach for a long weekend, won’t be back until Tuesday the 19th. The beach house we’re staying at doesn’t have a scale so that will be a nice break for me from the constant obsessive weighing. Unfortunately the house also lacks internet access, so I won’t be blogging for those days and won’t have Sparkpeople to help me track my calories. I’ve decided that I’ll log my food manually and enter it in when I get back - it’ll be a fun challenge to see whether I can actually apply what I’ve learned over the past few months and eat well without the daily logging of exact calories. The only exception to this will be Saturday, when DF is cooking me a delicious dinner for my birthday. :) That evening I’ll eat what I want!

The other good part about going to the beach is that there are lots of great places to run, so I’ll definitely be able to keep up my exercise and enjoy the beautiful scenery while I’m at it!

Have a wonderful vacation!? And happy early birthday to you too!!!!!!? And I agree with Nikki, you know what to do, and you can look at this vacation as a “work experience” on what you’ve learned all this time with regards to eating.
Happy Birthday!?
Well, you and I are in the same boat this week.? I had finally broke my plateau and lost 2 lbs when TOM warned me of his arrival!?
