Well, today was better. I made it a point to eat small healthy things through the day, and kind of breezed through my workout - bodystep. I usually Spin on Wednesdays so I dont go to Step a lot. Plus I'm not very coodinated or graceful, and I feel like a fool for most of the class. Today was good though, I managed to follow along okay. It wasn't easy but I did have fun, and I burned 500+ calories. I felt great afterward and got on the Stairmaster for a little bit, taking the steps two at a time and doing leg lifts in between. By the time I got home I was still pumped so I turned on the Kinect and did a 20 minute Zumba class for another 200 calories. I still feel pretty energized but its 9 and we havent had dinner yet... but soon. So I think I made good food choices today. Which is good cuz I go to the grocery store at the beginning of the week and buy several things to keep at the office to eat throughout the day, and I can have the same things again tomorrow if I want. Also my pants felt a BIT looser than yesterday(thank god) and Mr. Scale read me 169 after my shower. That's better, but still not good.
I expect tomorrow will be a good day. I think I may try a new class at the gym.... BodyAttack. Its time to switch things up a bit!!

I know Flo is visiting, but 171 was definitely higher than what I expected to see on the scale. I know it was evening, I had food and water in my system and I'd just come from Spin class, and I probably won't see 171 tomorrow morning, but its bothering me.

I know I've relaxed a little bit in the past couple weeks... last week especially...my Nonno passed away and that made it hard to stick to my routine OR eat healthy. He was from Italy and naturally I wanted to honor him with the heavy italian meals from my childhood which I love so much. And red wine, which he used to make. Not to mention the added benefit of Aunt Flo's impending arrival...... it was a rough week and I know I could have done better but I didn't. There, I said it.

Anyway, I felt discouraged all day today. My pants which were quite loose a week or so ago felt tighter, and I felt generally heavier than usual. I hadnt stepped on the scale in a while but I was pretty sure I had put on a couple pounds. Desserts and pasta are my weaknesses and I did not hold back. It was emotional eating - i knew it, and I did it anyway. I felt a little better on Monday, had a healthy day food wise and hit the gym for body pump after work, but it went downhill when i got home. Husband brought home donuts (another weakness) and there was a little piece of cake in the fridge. I decided to go ahead and undo all the work I did at the gym that day, which I regretted as soon as the last bite was gone, as I always do.

So this morning I did not even look for my skinny work pants - right to the biggest pair. My heart sank when they felt tight. My own fault, I know. Still sucks, on a lot of levels, but mostly because I feel like I let myself down a little bit. I've done this gain-lose-gain thing enough times that I should freakin' know better. This feeling was exacerbated when I decided to see what Mr. Scale had to say to me this evening. I guess I was already down so I may as well find out. 171 - a good 6 lbs heavier than what I halfway expected to see, which is about 5 lbs heavier than what I saw a month ago, which is yet another 5 lbs heavier than my goal weight. Bummer, man.

But, instead of feeling sorry for myself about this, I am going to turn this into positive change. Okay - I messed up. Got a little lazy. Overindulged. Maybe got a little bored too. But we all mess up. What's important now is how I move forward. So... Spin class tonight + 15 extra arc-trainer minutes and a healthy chicken curry for dinner. Tomorrow is another day and another chance to make good decisions.
