OK
UM, I am NOT highlighting this! Two reasons - 1) It doesn't affect your calculations, I don't think. And 2) I plan to weigh again when I get home, after drinking a LOT of water today. Here's why...
I GAINED 2 lbs! WHAT?!?!?!? I honestly do NOT know what I have done that would have caused this. I am soooooooo frustrated today. If I knew the cause and I could change it, I would not be upset, but I really don't know! I am hoping for a mishap in timing due to the jumbo pickle I ate yesterday and the sodium from it???

I have done my exercise bike for 30 minutes twice this week and my exercise ball for 30 minutes twice this week so far. I have stayed right around 1600 calories every day besides my cheat day and one day that was 1900, but since I weigh 230-something, that should not be an issue. And I don't believe my cheat day was any worse than any of the others. (I can't remember what we ate for dinner that day, so I will have to ask DH if he remembers tonight.) I was flabbergasted when I saw that number on the scale this morning! I was hoping to lose at least the .8 lb. I would have needed to get my 20-lb ribbon! Ugh! This is making me quite emotional, so sorry if I am rambling. I am trying to think about this logically and determine possible causes. I know that this is one week and next week may more than make up for it if it is just a fluke, but right now, in this moment, I feel frustrated and confused. I will work on this. I just want to see that number go down, and I want to know what I need to do to make that happen next week. OK, I guess I just needed to vent about that. I will keep plugging away and work even harder this coming week to see that loss next Friday. And I WILL be drinking a lot of water today and weighing again when I get home, and I will report what I see.
