sometimes when we are tying our hardest the scale seems intent on throwing off our good efforts with discouraging numbers. Be gone mean ugly scale you are but one small piece in the overall puzzle to wellness and good health. it will be better tomorrow.

Thanks for the reminder. I had a gain this week and it almost messed with my head, but I was able to get past it and not dwell. Great job!

Sometimes we have to chalk it up to "one of those things" and know that as long as we have been doing our part the fluctuation is only temporary. It's still going to be an annoyance (at least they are for me, lol), but it's out of our hands. Perhaps since you ate at a potluck yesterday there was more sodium in some of the dishes than you would ordinarily consume? I was up almost 1/2 lb today, and pretty sure it's because of the sodium laden canned soup I had for lunch. Heh..."light soup" my eye, they make up for lack of calories by loading it with salt. lol

We switched weights :) I weigh what you weighed yesterday and you weigh what I weighed yesterday. Oh how silly it was- all the time we wasted worrying about that damned number in the past! It is the most important part of the Serenity prayer! Knowing the difference between what we can control and what we can't. You controlled your eating and your exercise, which are your choices to make. And the scale reacted the opposite of expectations, which you accept because you know the difference! :)

Exactly Kate. I had to stop by Wal-Mart to buy some sodas for our vending machines this morning. Of course, the vender hasn't arrived yet and what I need wasn't on the shelves. So I wandered about, trying to kill a little time hoping the Pepsi vender would show up (which of course he did not). So I saw this pair of light yellow capris. They were a size 10. I don't have anything yellow and I decided to try them on, not really expecting that they would fit. They did!!! I didn't buy them (they were not marked down and I am very CHEAP these days) but was delighted they fit easily. So ... yes ... I am beginning to truly KNOW the difference. Thanks for stopping by ... and congrats again on today's celebration of YOU!!!

Possible reasons: you ate relatively late, there was more sodium in the food than you thought, you drank a lot of water which did not make it through your system in time, etc. If you redouble your efforts, you will see an impressive loss tomorrow. :-)

Moose, can lack of sleep cause your weight to go up? If so, why? (I didn't get much last night so maybe if I sleep 8 hours tonight I'll record a drop? Or could I just go back to bed now instead of going to the gym? (LOL) :)

Or perhaps that was a question for Information...depending upon upon how much detail I want. (LOL)

Doit2it - Sleep is always good ... and if you sleep LONG ENOUGH ... no doubt you would burn 1000 calories!!!

Hey, all I have to do is run out and get my Masters, or perhaps a PhD.

I know you...tomorrow you'll just begin a new string-a-blue!

Actually, it wouldn't surprise me at all if you were down FIVE POUNDS tomorrow! That's your style.

OMG Moose, I just looked at my chart and I've only had 3 blue stripes - total - since January of this year, with 2 of them being yesterday and today! (LOL!!) Should I try to start a string? Does 2 make a string?

I know its so hard to figure this whole thing out when you are following it so closely.Don't worry you'll be back down soon enough. By the way are you going out this weekend with the hubby? I just may be going out myself. One never knows. Talk to you soon. At mom's now but wanted to drop in as I had no free time at work today.
