Loss of .8 This week

This is a short post because I have strep and I really want to crawl back in bed today. I lost .8 pounds this week, helping me get back to where I was before my 3 pound gain last week. This once again proves it is much easier to gain weight than it is to LOSE IT! Peace out friends!

Gaining is going to happen

It is a fact of life, at certain times you will gain a little weight. You will not be the same weight day after day and week after week. I know this, so I am not depressed by the fact that I gained 3 pounds back this week. I don't honestly think it is all weight as much as it is water due to major bloating today.

I didn't track as well as I had been this week, that may have been part of it too, but I don't think it was very much of the problem. I am definitely going back to tracking religiously so I can watch my habits and so on, and look for better choices and accountability.

So, check back next week to see what happens, but until then, here are some ideas to help you get through Eating Out without over doing it:
*Put your fork down between each bite
*Get a box and put half your meal in it as soon as you get your order
*Drink a glass of water before your food arrives
*Tell the server to leave your bread in the kitchen
*Order all salad dressing on the side
*Eat a salad before your meal arrives
*Eat something sweet before you go, have your dessert first, so you don't have a huge dessert after you eat
