no floating balloons today ... so sorry to my team-mates. After my 3 pound loss last week...
I am UP ONE today. Bummer, bummer, bummer.
But, I won't beat myself up ... I won't moan and complain ... I will just keep at my improved habits and GET OUT OF THE HOUSE MORE!!! I have been home by myself all week and really focusing on house-cleaning. Scrubbing walls and baseboards and the really intense stuff! Everytime my mind starts wandering and I start looking for a break, the easiest place to "escape" is to the pantry searching for something to eat. Am I really hungry, nope, just bored, and eating allows me to stop cleaning for a while, pick up a magazine and stop for a few minutes. I just realized this yesterday ... so I should be ok for the rest of the week.
The other problem ... since the kids are away, we are going to our favorite restaurants for our favorite meals ... and guess what, I don't love low-calorie, low fat food just because it is good for me. Fortunately we are good friends with most of the chefs, so it is easy for me to ask them to downsize my portions ... and that has been a huge step in the right direction, BUT the decadant desserts don't help.
All in all, I guess I should be happy I only gained 1 and not 15 ... but I do feel bad about letting down my teammates. Sorry guys, I will try to post a balloon next week! How did you do this week - any suggestions for a carb-lovin, food-obsessed Mom???

Don't worry about that pound, we all have ups and downs! You'll get it off and then some next week! Being a vegetarian, I struggle with the carb issue all the time...and unfortunately, I still haven't figured it out either! :)

One pound could just be a little salt from eating out. Keep up your good habits this week and you will probably see a great drop next week!

ooh, I like your thinking!!
I'm a salt-a-holic and when I eat a lot of sodium, I totally retain water so the previous commenter could be absolutely right. In any case, good luck. Wish I had your willpower :)
