Week Three - Ye Old Weigh-In Sucketh

Well, I did some really good things in Week 3.  I ran for an hour, 3 times and ran 3.5 miles each time. Plus I walked the dog one of those days.  I logged my food and followed my diet Monday through Thursday.  Then Friday and the weekend happened. Friday, we had my seester and her hubby Kevin over for Friday Night Decompress. This is basically our version of happy hour.  At home, it is cheaper than going to a bar for happy hour.  Quieter too so we can actually hear each other speak.  It is not that I ate poorly on Friday.  In fact, I ate quite well.  BUT, I completely forgot to log my dinner!  I pre-logged my drinks knowing I usually only have 2, maybe 3.  But, I had a few more than that and forgot to log those as well.  So I lost those points.  Then Saturday we went up to Flagstaff to Northern Arizona University to see my girl!  She's been up there for a month and it was parents weekend.  We didn't participate in any of the parents weekend activities (though there were alot, including a football game) because we just wanted to see our girl.  We would have loved to hit the football game but she was so homesick and missed Soccer (our dog) so we brought the dog as well.  Can't go to a football game with the dog.  Just as well because the poor sweetheart (Dakota not Soccer) had strep throat.  I'm glad we were there.  We got her to urgent care, they gave her a great shot in the butt of Penicillian and some steroids to reduce the swelling in her throat (it was bad) and she is good as new.  While we were there, I didn't log anything.  I didn't eat too, too badly portion or calorie wise (well, except that most excellent French dip from Altitudes restaurant and bar) but I did eat food that had a lot of salt over the weekend. Then on the day of weigh in for last week (today), good ole' Aunt Flo rared her ugly, unwelcome head so you know there is even more water retention there.  Anyway, I normally weigh in on Saturdays but I completely forgot.  Had I weighed in on Saturday instead of today, I bet the stupid scale wouldn't have reflected a 2 pound weight GAIN!  UGH!!  But I did weigh in today so I did gain 2 pounds this week.  Damn that salt and Aunt Flo.  So long story short, did some good behaviors and had some bad behaviors and ended up 2 pounds heavier.  BUT, I got to see my baby and that really is what matters! :)  Good luck in week 4!!!
