Monday, July 12, 2010 (Day 170)

The scale read 169 yesterday morning.  That’s crap.  I didn’t gain a pound last week.  I should be at 165.  I haven’t had a bowel movement in about 4 days, so that’s probably why.  But, I guess it still bothered me subconsciously because I ate everything except the kitchen sink last night.  Homemade ice cream (2 cups), cheese balls, fruit snacks, popcorn … That’s it?  Wow, it sure seemed like I ate more than that!  I was able to lay off the chips and salsa (because, even though my brain wanted it, I knew my stomach would explode if I ate any more).  Oh, and I ate one of each flavor of tootsie roll.  I was telling myself that my body thought I was starving and I needed to show it otherwise.  Maybe true, maybe not.  Who knows!  All I know is that I’ve eaten under 1200 calories every day last week and I’ve worked out longer than I ever have every day last week.  So for the scale to be up a pound pissed me off, big time!  It better fix itself before I fall off the wagon!
