Weekly Weigh In

Well something caught up with me.  I managed to gain 3 lbs at ww this week.  It's funny, I lost over xmas and gained over new years.  I haven't been the gym in 2 weeks so this could contribute I suppose.  Anyway it is what it is.  Better luck next week.

Hey Patsy, chin up it could be nothing more than water or something.
Do you keep a food journal? You are doing so well!
Life usually has a way of reminding us we are only human.
I'm sure you'll get right back on track and it and some more will be gone in no time.

I was down a bit when I went back on the 29th for which I was grateful but they reminded me to be careful and keep measuring so I have been.  I only weigh offically one a month when I go the surgeons office but I weigh every day at home.

Anyway keep on keeping on and good luck!!

Patsy, that really sucks.   You would think that with your new restriction , you would be losing like crazy .   I would really like to know the reason why you would gain.   How much food can you eat  at a time ?  Is it only a cup or so?   I am sorry that you didn't lose but maybe next week,you will lose a lot.  

I have a feeling it was the seafood chowder I made.  I used cream and that has a high fat content.  I didn't expect to eat too much of it but as it turned out i had it for supper 3 times.  I didn't want to waste all that good lobster and seafood that went into it.  It could also be due to the lack of exercise over the past 2 weeks.  I didn't expect to gain either but who knows.  Next week will tell the tale. 

I made a seafood chowder also before Xmas , & when I make it , I make a stockpot half full. I use 18% cream ....half pound real butter.  I use scallops , large & small . All kinds of fish, except cod, I use small & large shrimp too. To make a long story short , I gained 5 lbs. that week. I gave some away , but ate the rest .   It's a good thing that I only make it once a year .

See what I mean.  that last time I made it was when i was on pureed back in November and i gained that week as well.  that's it for me.  I wasn't sure at first if that is what did it, but now I'm convinced.  It's delicious but not worth it.  I'd rather lose every week that enjoy a meal or two.  I can live without it.  It's just that here in halifax/Dartmouth the lobster fishermen were on every corner with their truck selling lobster due to the price war and couldn't resist the lobster.  First I thought I would make a lobster sandwich but rethought that due to the stuck episode with the bread.  so i did the chowder and thought others would eat it up but didn't have as much company as I expected so had more than my share for myself.  grrrrr.  anyway, I should have wasted it and not eaten it.  but  it's gone now.

 Don't beat yourself up, Patsy.  No one is going to be 100% on their game 100% of the time.  Try to look at the bigger picture.  And hey, I'll bet it was really GOOD!  :D
