    Me too- totally eat based on emotions. Gained 2 lbs past 2 weeks. Seems like the days I start off with protein (6 egg whites scrambled with a spoonful of salsa then a greek nonfat yogurt plain with stevia (add pure cocoa powder or coffee for flavor) then the rest of the day I have way more control. This weekend I decided to skip breakfast which just made me carb-binge at lunch (and then turned into an afternoon snacking marathon). I blamed my car being in shop and stess of an expensive surprise repair bill. This week I will do a better job of analyzing these bad patterns as I realize only I can stop it.

    Finally seeing a loss after a week of the three W's: workouts, water and watching what I eat. Actually under my pre-vacation weight. Did not work out this morning. I took a spill while walking yesterday and I'm uber sore this morning from the impact. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

    Finally back on track with working out and tracking calories. I downloaded a new app (new to me) mapmywalk. It says I am burning 80 more calories during my workout than the other app was! I'll take it!

    Well the good news is I got my weight back down with a few oz extra. I really didnt think i would be able to do this but man o man did i try hard these last couple of days. I cant believe i was up 4.5 lbs on Thursday. This week i will be focusing on staying on or under my allowed 1200 calories and i will be getting back to workouts this week. I may have to start slowly. Also i will be attempting Intermittent Fasting 5:2 which is 5 days normal eating at 1200 cals and 2 days of fasting with an allowed 500 cals each day. Lets see how the first week goes.

    Weigh in day and I’m up 1.2 lbs. This can be because of one of 2 reasons. It’s either bloat weight as it will be the TOM in a couple of days OR, water retention from muscle repair as I am back to working out and strength training and feeling all kinds of sore. Either way I know I did the best I could this week. It wasn’t perfect but it sure was the best week I’ve had since the beginning of the summer. I worked out every single day this past week, kept my calories low despite the occasional snacking, and kept my daily steps well over 10,000 a day (once I almost reached 30,000 steps in one day). So I know if I continue this way that weight will be down by next weigh in. I can’t let these little spikes get the best of me. I must keep pushing forward.
