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.
