    03/23 162.8

    I'm beginning to see a pattern here.... But I'm fine with it because a) it was a planned week of indulgence, the kids are away and we are having some fun. And b) I can see a difference that the scale is not telling me. I highly doubt I will get into the 150s this month, but I am still working hard and it will happen soon.

    Total weight lost: (since 1/1: 14.0) for Mar: 1

    OK, I am going to just accept that my body is revolting against me because I gave up smoking on 3/1. I heard someone say that the average weight gain is 7 pounds when you quit smoking. So based on that, I am going to tell myself that I have actually lost 8 pounds because I kept from gaining the 7 and lost 1 myself. I am going to keep going forward to push for the end of the month to see if I can get a .5 off.

    Watch out April - I am coming!!!!! I will be traveling for 3 weeks for work (which means corporate expense account for meals and lots of eating out) but that also means I booked myself only in hotels with a gym. I am going to bust out the exercise while I have gym equipment available.
