Weight: 157.2
Exercise: 5 mile run yesterday, I work out with Lauren this morning
Yesterday I had this notion that maybe I could be a little less strict about my diet and not gain weight because I was exercising so much. I guess that plan didn't play out very well. I gained 3.5 pounds yesterday. This is why I am so super strict.
I didn't eat that much. I didn't eat anything sweet. I also didn't eat at home. I had lunch out with a friend (a salad) and we ate dinner out at a bar and grill. Dinner out was not the healthiest thing in the world, but it was a small meal. I had potato skins stuffed with pulled pork and a dinner salad. It really wasn't very much food. I also had a beer. I maybe would have done OK with all of that, if it hadn't been for the ball game. At around the third inning I decided to get a bag of peanuts and another beer. I guess it was a cheat day and it showed up on the scale in a big way. Food is something I just can't afford to mess around with.
I will recover from this, of that I'm certain. Unfortunately, it is going to be difficult to be really strict with food for the next couple of days because Jack and I are going on a little road trip, leaving this morning and coming back on Monday. I am going to have to make very careful choices while we are gone.
It's kind of a shame that my weight jumped up so much overnight because I was feeling pretty good about everything. My weight had started coming back down, my stress level was coming down a little bit, my exercise program is feeling solid, and I enjoyed my day off. This is why I have to weigh myself every single day. All it takes is one day and the slide really starts.
I probably won't post from the road. My next post will probably be on Tuesday morning.
Enjoy your holiday weekend.
