Day Three Hundred and Forty-Four - Weigh in #49 - Just a Small Setback

So I've been pretty nervous about today's weigh in all week.  I wish I'd been nervous over the weekend, then I might not have stuffed my face with all the delicious food we cooked.  I just knew that I was going to be up at least four pounds when I weighed today.  I was wondering how I would be able to write in my post tonight that I had not only gone up in weight, but gained back the only progress I've had since June.  Thankfully, that wasn't the case.

When I stepped on the scale today, I went up in weight.  While I was afraid that the number would be around four or five pounds up, it wasn't.  As of this morning, I was up 1.6 lbs.  This brought my total weight loss back to 138.4 lbs., with a current weight of 227.8 lbs.  The crazy thing is that I'm not upset about it.  It's actually a very strange feeling.  I guess I'm simply relieved that I didn't put on more weight than that.  The best thing is that I can overcome 1.8 lbs.  I can drop 7.8 lbs. in three weeks.  I can still hit my goal.  I just have to be disciplined.  I have to plan and carefully watch what I eat.  I will be exercising hard, not wasting any opportunities.  I've made a U-turn, and I'm heading back towards my goal.  I'm going to lose my butter half.

My calories today were great.  Then around two o'clock, I started feeling terrible.  My kids have had a stomach virus this week, so I think it's safe to assume I'm catching it now (Yay, me!).  I had saltine' crackers for dinner, and I have been in bed all evening.  I am thankful that I got my workout in this morning before the stomach pain and problems started.
