Early Weigh In and Other Troubles!

I work this Saturday and tomorrow.  My counselor doesn't work on Friday's so I had to weigh in early this week.  This scared me in two ways this week.  One because I had so a big loss last week and was probably a little dehydrated when I weighed in and it was only four days after my last weigh in, plus I went in at 5pm to weigh in and I've never gone in that late.  Well I have posted my first gain.  I gained 0.2 pounds.  No my counselor in not worried about this gain in fact she's actually a little happy with it.  Let me explain.  We lowered my daily calories last week and she was really concerned with dropping calories.  Was worried I would come in and post another three to four pound loss and then would have to tell me I was going back up to 1500.  So she is telling me that this is okay and is probably just the food and water I've had during the day before the appointment.  I'm not happy with this gain, just because I don't want any gains in my record.  Yes I'm obsessive, but anyone that reads this blog or my Facebook page knows that.  But I can live with this, if it is the only one I have.   So we talked about my transition which will be in about 16 more pounds.  We also talked about eating all my meals and foods on the menu.  I missed another lunch on Monday while at work and last night I just didn't want my snack bar.  I went for a walk with my husband instead.  So the importance of getting all my calories was stressed and was ways to substitute.  On work days I may need to take in foods that are easy to eat quickly, meaning not frozen or those like the salads that don't need heating at all.  We will work on that this coming week.  If I need to rearrange some of my meals so I can eat a quick lunch, I'll do that this week. 

Now for the next issue, Monday during my run I kept feeling a lump under my left shoe while I was running.  Our apartment was hot and I was sweaty and I just cut my run short.  Probably a good thing.  When I looked at the treadmill the belt had begun to fray and might have broke if I had continued to run.  Today after a quick repair that we were hopeful would hold for at least a couple of days, I ran again.  Needless to say the repair did not hold.  I will be shopping for a new treadmill on Friday.  I will still try to walk tomorrow morning, but this is obviously going to be an easy week for me in the exercise area.  So that is my short post for this week.  I'm determined to put a loss on my record next week.  So guess I will be taking to the streets of El Paso for the rest of the week.......Till next time, keep moving! ~ Darcy
