Historically if I don’t get on the scale my weight creeps up. One day I get on and realize I have gained 20 pounds and wondered how the hell that happened? That being said I have stopped weighing myself through the week and sticking to either Saturday or Sunday a.m. This morning I was thinking I looked rather bloated and decided I better check it out (after my two large cups of coffee) and I am up 6 pounds from my lowest post baby weight. So I thought about the options on the way to work:
1. Give up the triple shot venti Carmel macchiato for breakfast (which some days includes a toffee almond bar)
2. Eat everything you want to for a couple of days then start the master cleanse diet and go for that 10 pounds in 10 days
3. Do nothing and see what you weigh in the morning maybe it was just water weight
With that in mind I did skip the venti Carmel macchiato and got egg burritos without the tortilla from Sonic they are cold and dry – yum! I am strongly considering the master cleanse diet (some concoction of lemon juice, maple syrup and red pepper in water for ten days) After 3 rounds of IVF having to give myself shots of three different things twice a day, 10 months of heparin twice a day (when someone referred to it as injecting the spit of the devil they weren’t kidding that stuff burns) and taking prenatal vitamins with fish oil that I burped all day so Mary’s brain would develop to its full potential the “master cleanse diet” sounds like a walk in the park.
Also there is going to be birthday cake here at the office for one of the partners – maybe I will think about what to do while I eat cake?

I feel your pain. I have been working out at the gym like a crazy woman and I'm up 5 pounds from my lowest post baby weight. Things just don't compute. Part of me says screw it, do I live my whole life trying to be this perfect weight or just enjoy the days we have on this planet.... having a little cushion for the pushin'??? The vain sheila says let's wired our mouth shut for a week but the rational sheila says F-it let's eat and bring on the dessert!!!
I'm all about losing some weight these days. The last two weeks anyway. I've been really good too. I've been working out at the gym and trying to skip those snacks. The fridge is full of fruit and veggies. I gained a pound. (eye roll) It's just muscle mass, right? I'm still working on that same 20 pounds I said I would lose on FT months ago. At least my pants are a little looser.
Good luck with the cleansing.
I fell the pain, I just hopped off the treadmill myself.
Why couldn't I have been blessed with a super fast metabolism, instead of one that came from a turtle!
It must run in the family, I got up and down like crazy! Mostly up lately!
