Ugh. Easter Weekend.

As I feared, a long weekend, less structure, less gym time and lots of temptations all led to a weight gain this week.

This week's weight in: +1.4 lbs.
Total weight loss: -18.9 lbs.

I'm not too surprised, but I'm a little disappointed in myself for not faring better. I feel like I'd been on such a "twenty pound" high, that I probably got a little cocky and thought I could handle more. It's another reminder that all of this is a lifestyle change, and I'm going to have good weeks and bad weeks, but my ability to not get derailed by a bad week or two will make or break my success on this.

It set me off for a crappy mood for the day, and a few things happened at work which made me even in a worse mood. By the time it came time to head to Pilates reformer with Maria last night, I was dreading doing anything but sitting around at home and just moping a bit. But i went to class, and it felt great. It was really the best hour of my day. I'm grateful to have had it.

This week, another unusual schedule. My husband is leaving town tomorrow, and I'm joining him on Friday night, as we spend the weekend with his family. I'm excited to see them all, and am not too worried about eating decisions when I'm down there. But, it means I need to be very focused the rest of the week to make sure I really can afford to relax a bit more when I'm there.

Sorry not to have good news to report. I'm hopeful not to lose too much ground here... even though I know it will take me a couple of weeks to get back on track.
