Daily Check In - Summer 2013

I am finding that not eating between meals is hard for me, since I am a well known snacker.
This is something that my Nutritionist wanted me to try. Some days are okay and some
like today are hard. I had a bike today and when I got back I had a Fiber One bar.
But, I felt like I needed it. I guess its all in the discipline which I am learning.

Well, today I weighed myself in, and I have gained 1.3lbs this week. :-( It could be because I am on my "cycle" /shrug According to my Aria scale I have gained 6 pounds of "lean mass" and lost 5 lbs of fat this week, but I don't know how much to believe the scale about that stuff. I have only been working with weights a few days now, so 6lbs of muscle gain seems a bit high. I guess we will have to see next week, right? I was just soooo looking forward to breaking the 250 mark and being able to tell people that I lost 15 pounds this last month. I have always said that the numbers didn't matter and that I was more concerned with being fit and able to do stuff (which I knew would need muscles) but seeing that number go up today was harder than I expected..

Hey all! We are settled in and got my laptop connected. On the side trips, I've been able to jump into the diary a few times with my phone app but now I can get into the message boards. I'll be back with daily check in starting tomorrow! I don't have scales but have been pretty good when eating fast food and traveling. We did a LOT of hiking and walking while in Oregon so that's good. Will do lots of that here in Idaho, also, plus I'll be eating in a lot and there is no fast food here in Ketchum so will have good food choices! Take care and hope all of you are doing well with yor weight loss goals.
