Weigh In: Week 17

This week is the greatest 1 pound gain ever! So, I went up a pound from last week. Big deal. It was bound to happen sooner or later. What's so amazing about this gain is that I had a TERRIBLE weekend. Sure, I had my normal cheat Friday, but Sunday was Mother's Day and I did not make the right food choices. Chicken fried steak for breakfast at a new delicious restaurant, pizza and a bunch of other junk. Monday morning I weighed myself to check the damage. I gained 7 pound in 3 days!

With my re-found 7 pounds I struggled all week. I'm not sure if over eating re-stretched my stomach, but I was hungry all week. It seamed to be all I could think about. It was a constant battle of what I wanted and what I needed. Throw in some stomach trouble and not being able to eat my favorite snack of celery dipped in buffalo ranch sauce and you have the makings of a diet disaster. So, even with a 1 pound gain this week will go down as a victory in my books. I may have gained 7 pounds in 3 days, but I lost 6 in 4 days.

On the exercise front... We've still being walking 1 to 2 miles a day. About 2 weeks ago I got some Skechers Shape-ups. Those things ROCK! Not only has the walking been easier on my knees, but they have been making my legs BURN! In less than 2 weeks I'm already starting to get some of the cuts back into my calves like I used to have when I played football in high school. It's awesome! If you can shell out the $130 for this shoes than I say do it. They are well worth it. I'm even thinking about getting another pair or two to wear everywhere, because they make my knee feel so much better.
