Excuses, excuses

Weigh in this morning:

                                          This week:          +2
                            Total Loss:         -16.5
                             

I am pretty disappointed with myself.  It took me 4 weeks to lose those 2 pounds, and I go and gain them back in 7 days.  

I had a lot of excuses this past week - sinus headaches, earaches, exhaustion, my son getting sick etc. But when I look at it with unbiased eyes, I just gave myself excuses.  There was no reason for me to eat 6 cookies in one sitting.  Not exercising is one thing, but no one was shovelling the food in my mouth.  I think I am getting mildly depressed from not exercising, which is probably one reason I was eating.  Now that I know this, it will be easier to monitor.

I am glad it only took one bad weigh in for me to realize I have to shake myself out of this funk.  My big plan was to get up at 5 this morning and exercise, but I was still so tired I didn't wake up until 5:50.  So I will try to fit in exercise throughout the day instead.

I had my usual breakfast of cheerios and coffee, and I threw a banana in as well to tide me over until coffee break time. I WILL NOT succumb to my weaknesses today.
