Well, my former "goal pants" still fit, a teensy bit snugger than I'd like. I need to get new goal pants, maybe size 10. (that was supposed to be the size 12!)
I am very happy to report I'm back under my red light weight that I was a couple of pounds over the last time I weighed (about 3.5 weeks ago). I'm relieved and pleased to see that my body really doesn't seem to easily add back on 'real' lbs because I know I ate a lot more for a good chunk of that period and it still managed to balance out. I know at some point on my trip I was up some because of the fit of my clothes. Life gave me a good opportunity to really 'test' my new lifestyle and it got an A!
I have found it very hard to stay focused these past weeks. I have made and appointment with a nutritionist and am trying desperatly to find a GP who is taking new patients. It is incredible how hard it is to see a doctor. I might just have to go to the walk in clinic (wait 5 hours) just to get a referral to a dermatologist). Well, I will call more Dr's offices tomorrow.
I need to focus on my baby stepping again
Enjoy every minute!

I've experienced this caloric "back-lash" many times.
I've made "bad" choices for a few days and have thought that I've dodged a scale bullet and the weight gain has come back to haunt me about 7 days later.
A lot of times I'll hear people at WW say, "Well, I was off track for a few days, but I've been back on track for 5 days now and I don't understand why I gained..."
Nelson got this fortune cookie once that said, "The laws sometimes sleep, but never die." For some reason, it made me think of this caloric delay. If I eat more than I burn… I WILL gain weight... eventually. There is no escaping the laws of thermo-dynamics - they might sleep for a week, but never die.
I was in Delaware last Wednesday so I didn't have a weigh-in and didn't post last week. My comparison weight this week is from before vacation.
Before vacation: 153.4
After vacation: 155.0
I think the saddest thing about this is that, when I came back from Rehoboth last Thursday, I was just a fraction above my weight from the week before.
Since I've been home, I've GAINED weight. I definitely made a few bad choices after I got home, but then I made a few bad ones in Delaware too, so it doesn't seem to make sense that I gained AFTER I got home but not before. Oh well. I've been logging my food really carefully since Monday and will hopefully be able to turn this around.
Personal Healthy Habits Challenge - 10/1 to 12/31/08: 1. Exercise: Get back to consistently working out 3-5 X week. 2. Food: Get back to consistently preparing healthy lunches for the week with increased veg servings. 3. Behavior: Reduce intake of sweets.

One pound down from last week, still 2 above my official goal weight but I feel good anyhow! I'm in a much better frame of mind this week too, which matters a lot.
