Wow. Just. Wow. 
Before I call uncle, I have 2 more tricks up my sleeve. *sigh*
Stay tuned...
[3 hours later] Now that a cooler head has prevailed, translation: it's been many hours since the weigh in, logic takes over.
Looking back on the last 7 days, there's been a grand total of 3 "formal" workouts. Much as I wanna cheat and consider Saturday's bike ride a workout, it wasn't. Considering, it was closer to 30 mins than 45. And I spent some time sitting on the side of the curb reading the manual. And I pedaled a few spins and coasted down hills the rest of the time. The sweat I netted was more due to the heat than the exertion.
Next.
I thought about this on the drive in, for the last 2 weeks, I've been drawn to stories of weight loss that all have 3 things in common:
Sacrifice
Discipline
Consistency
Shure I do all 3, to some extent...well...kinda...ur...sorta
But I don't do all 3 all the time. That is my biggest downfall. I can get motivated w/the best of them. I can get pumped get psyched. I can go for 3-4 days, but then I peter out. Not all the time. I've had a few challenges last year that netted me nice losses and thinking back, I was if nothing else, consistent. I sacrificed, my discipline may have been lacking from time to time, but for the duration of the challenge I was @ least 2 outta 3.
3 workouts in 7 days does not a weight loss make.
Logically I know that.
But some part of my brain is delusional. Some part of me, only remembers Monday and Tuesday of this week. Completely blanks out @ Friday thru Sunday and feels affronted not only is there an upward tick in fluctuation from yesterday to today, there nerve of my body to have gained from last Thursday to this Thursday.
Last week I went thru a similar pattern, and if I'm not careful I can fall into a vicious cycle.
Wake up, see gain, pout. Feel punished for all my "efforts". Say to hell w/it all. @ least for a few hours. Buy breakfast. What's the point in eating fiber 1?!?!? Buy lunch too w/the change left over from breakfast. Don't bother to workout out, go home and go to bed. Spend the next few days licking my wounds, feeling sorry for myself. Finally pulls self together to start the new week. Only to be hit w/a gain from 3-4 days of dicking around. Wake up, see gain, pout.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
I'm breaking the cycle this week.
Despite the gain, gym bag was grudgingly packed this AM.
Depsite the gain, water is being drunk, pills/vitamins are being taken.
Despite the gain, fiber 1, cheerios, raisins and soy milk was for breakfast, lunch'll be a turkey & cheese sammich.
Despite the gain, I will not cry uncle.
