A 1.6 pound gain! Honestly, I'm ok with it. I weighed in mid-day which may or may not be better than the last 3 evening weigh ins.
I'm ok with the gain because:
1) It's probably mostly water retention due to high sodium intake the last 2 days.
2) It still wasn't an early morning weigh in.
3) Weighing in and accepting the scale is the lifestyle vs. diet mentality. I very easily could have skipped the scale and let that small gain domino into larger ones.
Oh, how can I forget the funniest/stupidest thing that I now know had to affect the scale:
I realized today that the milk I have been drinking all week and counting as 2 points a cup, is actually 3 points a cup. You're probably wondering how I could not know the points of my milk, right? Well I do know the points of my skim milk! I accidentally bought 1% milk at Wal-Mart and had no clue. See-skim is light blue at Krogers where I usually buy it. Unfortunately, skim at Wal-Mart is pink. It was an honest, but point-costly mistake (I normally pay attention, but I was in a hurry that day.) After quickly looking through my tracker, I figure that I actually ended the week 12-14 points in the hole simply because of the milk mixup. :(
Today starts a new week! :)
