Up

226.2 this morning which is UP 2.6 from Saturday morning, in a steady increase every single day.  I'm getting pretty nervous, but my logical mind knows this is probably nothing to get nervous about.


It could be TOM. I have an IUD, so don't bleed.  But the other parts of TOM still visit.  Like the moods - ha! And the bloating.
It could be the calories - I ate more than 1200, but probably less than 1800 on Saturday and Monday. I had sushi yesterday - high cal, but oh, so yummy.  And yes, I did have a lot of calamari on Monday.  It's a special treat.
It could be the carbs I ate/drank over the last few days - I measured 1/2 cup of pasta shells yesterday, my first pasta in months and had it with ham and broccoli and I've had at least one beer 4 of the last 5 nights.
It could be a settling point.  The last time I was at 225 pounds in 2004, I couldn't get below it.

When I think about it logically, I can see that my world isn't ending.  I'm FAR away from instantly returning to 276 pounds.  I just need to not get too upset and maintain my consistency of actions that work.  My good habits that I've built up.

I worked out hard yesterday on the elliptical for 30 minutes.
I drank a ton of tea yesterday.
I meditated for 15 minutes.
I ate around 1400 calories

Today I'll do a Jillian DVD workout after work.  I have an appointment with the therapist.  I'll eat 1200-ish calories.

I gotta just put this together one day at a time.  Yesterday is done and tomorrow hasn't come yet.  The only thing I can change is what I do right now.  Every minute I can choose the good habits and I know TOM will go away and the calories and carbs will fall off also.
