I'm running.
I love to run.
I think we all sort of know that by now. So far this week I've run 17 miles. Pretty good, huh?
Yet I gained this week. Again. Last week I was 160.4 pounds. Which is a gain of 1.4 pounds. Not too bad.
This week? I'm 163.2 pounds. So I gained 2.8 pounds.
I blame Easter. I pretty much lost my stuff and ate EVERYTHING you can imagine. Tuesday I was 165.4 pounds. So I did have the scale go down a little bit by the end of the week. But I was really shocked I gained 5 pounds. Although I shouldn't have. Because I know my body. And yes, I ran 5.5 miles on Sunday. But I didn't do anything on Monday. I got up (still in a food coma) and went to work and didn't work out. So...
I need to continue running. And I seriously need to tone up my stomach. Even with the extra skin (that won't go away without surgery) I know I can tone up some of it and I won't hate it so much.
All of last week (after Easter) I ate 100% clean every day. And I felt amazing. Processed food is so evil.
I hope to get back to 160 this week. I bought a new scale and it's awesome. I love it. My scale was 8 years old and I had to kick it to get it come on. So this new one is all glass and super fancy. And I did weigh myself on both today to see if there was a difference. My new scale is 0.2 pounds less then the old one.
I didn't beat myself up over the gain. Sometimes I just have to eat and enjoy it and deal with it later. But 3 pieces of cheesecake? That won't be happening again. Or 3 cookies made by my Brother-In-Laws girlfriend. Or a pint of ice cream. I could go on, but that's enough. I told you it was a bad day.
And thanks for all the music suggestions. I'm always looking for more, so if you have any, just let me know.

Easter killed me too. I still showed a loss on the scale, but my body fat went up by almost 1%, and that's really bad. i want them both to go down.
But May is almost here, so hang in there until tomorrow!
May starts a new month ... Easter is a tough time for dieters. How great to get a new scale. All those fancy features!
The worst thing you can do is beat yourself up. You know how to work this losing weight business and when you need a reminder of how far you've come, look at the pictures on the right hand side of your blog. You are doing great!
