Week 4: Snack attack bites back
All I have to say is, "Waaaaaahhhhh!"
That is the noise I made when I regrettably climbed onto the scale Sunday and saw it blink back: 190 pounds. That means I officially gained a pound in the last week, despite my renewed commitment to the gym.
I can think of two things that caused this problem. The first is -- and avert your eyes if you cannot take a "too-much-information" moment -- probably driven by PMS water retention. The other might be the fact that Joe and I gorged ourselves on steak and desserts two nights this weekend. That can't help.
I'll note that I am still on track, since I have lost six pounds, which is slightly more than the one pound per week goal. But I am looking forward to actual progress this week.
Joe actually lost a pound this week, even though he went to the gym a scant two days and ate out as well. Worse, he realized his jeans were now big enough that they looked weird on him and then, on a lark, tried on a pair of 36/30 jeans -- his goal size. They fit him perfectly.
