Week 11

I’m officially declaring this week a bye.  I’m the boss of me and that’s what I want to do.  I was expecting to have a gain on the scale this week; I was on vacation, I ate whatever I wanted, and I didn’t drink enough water.  However, I still went running 4 times and I figured that would give me a little leeway.  Unfortunately, I was painfully mistaken.

Michael weighed-in this morning and had gained 1 pound.  Great after a week of vacation.  I weighed-in this morning and had gained 6 pounds.  6 pounds!  How can a person gain that much in one week?  We ate the same food.  I exercised.  It didn’t matter.

I was horrified and promptly went for a run.  Then I re-weighed.  The gain reduced to 5 pounds.  It’s entirely inconceivable and depressing.

I refuse to record that weight. 

• Week 11: Bye, due to heavy denial.
• Week 10: –0.8 lbs
• Week 9: –1.0 lbs
• Week 8: –1.2 lbs
• Week 7: –0.4 lbs
• Week 6: –0.6 lbs
• Week 5: –1.2 lbs
• Week 4: –3.6 lbs
• Week 3: +0.8 lbs
• Week 2: –1.8 lbs
• Week 1: –2.2 lbs

Total weight loss: 12.0 lbs  (Technically only 7 but we’re not talking about it.)

I sure hope it’s just water retention.  Heaven help me.
