I’m going to keep this brief, but I’ll post more on my thoughts about this later…

So this week was another awesome week of tracking and eating well. While I didn’t get to exercise as much as I would have liked to, I was vigilant with my food and made sure to track everything I ate. The biggest win of the week was not binging after a terribly stressful week of work. I stuck with the process and it worked out…kind of.

Here’s the “deceiving part…”
When I weighed in on Saturday (just because I was curious) I was alllllllllll the way down to 254 which was awesome! Then, we headed off to the beach where we swam, got pretty sunburned, hung out with friends, and had a pretty healthy potluck! Then, we hung out with some friends some more later that night. So this morning, I woke up feel like complete crap and…still sunburned which can make you retain water like crazy.

Soooooooo 24 hours, I weighed in this morning at 259, 5 pounds up. I’m not thrilled and really it doesn’t give me the credit I deserve. As always, the scale doesn’t tell the whole story.

Today, I just kept calm and carried on. I tracked, worked out (because my sunburn was starting to feel a little better) and ate healthy. I have a good feeling about my next weigh in. Regardless of what happens though, I’m learning a lot each week. Things that are going to make this whole weight loss thing stick.
