152.8 - I'm starting a couple of days of decarbing. This usually doesn't drop my weight all that much, but it does help with getting the carbs under control.

I have a weird infection on my pinky finger that didn't clear up with the round of antibiotics that I had to go through a couple of weeks ago. I feel a touch stupid for paying a copay for an ouchy finger, but it's starting to bother me. So, that is one fun thing I get to do today.

Found out that my daughter got 3rd place overall (there was a tie-breaker for 1st) in the camp rodeo. It was her first time working with horses. So dang proud of that girl.

You all have a fandamntastic day!

Congrats to your daughter!!!!

155.2.

Confession: I binged on rice krispie treats and sugar cookies last night and didn't sleep well because of it.

Conclusion: lots of mental health work to go. I can't ... (no, that's not right).... I am not allowing myself get out of this cycle. I'm controlling it enough that I'm not gaining consistently, but I'm forcing myself to stay in "maintenance" but I'm doing it wrong. That's okay. I'm just going to sit with that information for as long as it takes. I'm not putting my head in the sand. This is good. I will figure this out and work with my therapist. I'm not going to beat myself up, but I'm also not going to allow myself a free pass. I need to deal with this issue. Yes, I look great. Yes, I'm doing great. But there's obviously something more going on in my head that I need to figure out.

Conclusion 2: Maintenance is hard. Any leftover mental stuff rears it's ugly head with a vengeance. It actually feels good that I'm recognizing it for what it is. I don't know the "why" part, other than maybe fear, but that doesn't feel right either.

Sorry, I needed to talk that out.

104.3 lbs. up a bit from 103.something, but I am still good. Need to get back to my exercise routine, but I have another vacation coming up next week, so I will be able to return to my regular routine at that time.

119.

Not sure if it will last. I suspect I'll be back up to 120 tomorrow.

Mentally I like to stay under 120 so in some ways I'm happy. But in other ways... the number on the scale is right but what I see in the mirror is not. Too much fat, not enough muscle. I'm starting back to exercise so that should help but I don't think I can do weight training just yet, at least not the kind I like to do and is most effective.

I signed up for 5 races yesterday. 4 OWS races and 1 AquaBike. I have two other races I'm going to sign up for but I am waiting for logistical reasons. I'm SO HAPPY.
