TGIF! I am not usually a TGIF type of guy, but I sure am today. The only sad thing is that Friday will end. I will have to put in a good deal of work this weekend to get ready for the next school week. I left school today with books and laptop in tow. I figure I will put in a good day or a day and a half of work over the next two days. But I will do it in my own time, which is nice.

I had a shock this morning. Up another 2 pounds. Try as I might I could not figure out why my body would react this way. Then I calmed my azz down and thought logically. I am prone to holding on to water for whatever reason. I have also had more salt this week overall. We have been close if not over 100 degrees every day this last week. All good reasons to retain some water. I also failed to poop anything of significance yesterday. I have also done some minor stress eating. I can say with certainty I know I did not eat an extra 14,000 calories the past for days, so whatever weight I have is not real and will go buh-by in a few days.

But the uptick in weight triggered some feelings and mental hunger. It was interesting to take not of those triggers and the rationalization I can use to justify an emotional indulgence. I did not eat the pastries I imagined I could pick up on the way to school. Three separate chances to tuck in to some hearty, carby taste sensations arose in a 30 minute window after leaving the house. I was proud to choose not to indulge! Took some mindful effort, but I didn't!

I am beat from my day, so will sign off for now. Hope to check in tomorrow afternoon once I'm back from the Subaru dealership and home from picking up the elliptical.

Is Covid would put an end to the treat table at school? I am imagining if they serve us any breakfast a etc workshop days, it will probably be individually wrapped stuff. I can resist a pre packaged muffin much easier than a tray of bakery goodies.
