Today's Weight - 219.8 (Up 0.2)
Well, I have had a long weekend of retreat, and now I'm ready to get back into the game! On Sunday morning, I weighed in - after my splurge at Golden Corral the night before! - and I was up 1.3 pounds. Big surprise. I skipped breakfast, because I was in a hurry as we were trying a new church. For lunch, I had a deli chicken sandwich on whole-grain bread, with a tsp of mayo, some greens, and a little red wine vinaigrette. Same for dinner, with the addition of some pretzels and a few bites of Jenny's tuna salad (tuna and mayo). Water, one cup of coffee. So when I got on the scales Monday morning, I was down 0.9 pounds! However, Monday came completely undone. I was so glad to be down almost a pound that I was gung-ho about being tight and disciplined, but alas...
First, Zeke went by Chick Fil A on his way over here (we went to visit Josh in the am), and brought everybody breakfast, so I had a chicken biscuit. (I am thankful that he bought breakfast for us all!! Especially as I had very little money). I had about four ounces of Coke and a handful of Chex Mix with Jenny around noon. That was all I ate until about 6pm, when, stranded beside a McDonald's with Joy and Joanna and Isaac and Addy, while we were waiting on Johnny to come help us change my flat tire, I ate a BIG MAC. And a few fries. At least I didn't eat a whole large fry by myself, and I didn't have a coke. But then, when we finally got home.... As we came in the apartment, the smell of Julie's enchiladas was enough to melt the will of an iron giant. So yeah, I ate. Too much. In fact, I didn't feel so good afterwards, and that reminded me of how unpleasant it really is to overeat.
Nevertheless, when I got on the Wii this morning, before taking the kids to school (rather, Jenny to school - Joseph is taking another day to recoup), I was down! another 0.2 pounds!! I am so thankful. After yesterday, I could have been up two pounds. So, all-in-all, after my awkward long weekend, I'm up 7/10's of a pound. That's really not too bad, considering. :)
