It's hard to know how to react to this weight. I think maybe last week with my minor gain my body was still reacting to being sick and adjusting afterward. I think in part (hopefully) this is just my body playing catch up. Also this week I counted calories. Never exactly, but always a running rough total in my brain. I tried to have it between fifteen hundred and two thousand calories. I also pretty much always stopped eating when I was full. I think I am most proud of that.

This week I am heading to Vancouver for four days for a doctors appointment and a mini vacation. I leave on Tuesday and I am coming back on Saturday. I really want to have a great time, but I also don't want to throw out all my eating habits whilst I'm there. That is four and a half days of eating out. I'm going to try to make the best choices I can for wherever we eat and most importantly, stop eating when I am full. Beyond that, I am going to try to workout before I leave on Tuesday and I know there is a gym at the hotel so I need to commit to workouts everyday there as well. Plus a few laps in the pool, which I'm excited about.

I am in the 230's. I am a happy girl. I can almost taste the 220's. I don't think I'll weigh myself this coming Saturday just because I know I will ingest a lot more sodium than I usually do and won't have an accurate reading. The following Saturday I will probably be on my period and because I don't weigh myself at that time of the month, my next weigh-in is in three weeks on the 4th of February. My goal for February the 4th is to be in the 220's. I would be seriously happy with 229. It's going to be hard not weighing in but I think it's a smart choice, we'll see if I can abstain from the scale.
