Day 84 - Weigh In Day

I was hoping for another good week with the scales but it didn't happen. I am showing a gain of 0.2 pounds! Did I cheat last week? NO WAY because I am in this for the rest of my life. I am sitting here telling myself that it is not my fault and it is NOT my fault. I am telling myself that the scale does NOT determine my success. This is not a linear journey from point A to point B. Sometimes there are detours in the road. Sometimes you sit still or even have to backtrack a little.

I am not using this as an excuse but my fingers are incredibly swollen this morning which is my water-retention indicator. I lost 6.6 pounds in the past two weigh-ins so that could help explain not losing this week.  Whatever the reason, I just have to keep on keeping on with what has been working - tracking, exercising and PRAYING! It will happen. The weight will come off. I will reach my goal.
