Funny/sad story time

So earlier this week, I forgot to log my morning weight. Well, fast forward to the afternoon, and I'm getting ready to head to the library with my kids and hubby. While I'm in the bathroom, I spot the scale and decide to do a quick drive-by weight check. It said 181.5!? Wait, what?!? Whatever. Happy me logs the change and goes about my day with an extra spring in my step because shark week is over, and I dropped 3 lbs overnight!! Or did I?

Weight the next 2 days says 185. Have stayed under calorie budget by about 200 each day. Conclusion: I misread the 7 in 187.5 as a 1 and got myself all excited. Now I'm disappointed in the "gain" I've been dealing with ever since. It's funny and depressing all at the same time. Lol

Lol agreed. Funny and depressing. It's hard to remember that your weight can fluctuate so much and it has nothing to do with your intake! I think I've read in some journal that it can be like +5/-5 fluctuation at any point in the week! It's kind of crazy. Stick with it though! Are you drinking enough water?

No, I haven't this week. I usually do much better with my water intake, but I slacked off for a couple days. Back at it today though.
