Up & Down...

Last night at TOPS I was up (in weight) - which made me down (in mood)... Today I am up (in mood, and probably weight as well) and feeling a renewed sense that I can get healthy. I energetically awoke for my morning walk - to find it pouring rain. I considered a trip to the gym, but realized that would make it difficult for E to complete his morning activities. In the end I resolved to bring my runners to work to walk at lunch. That didn't happen, but I see it is less rainy out, so perhaps I'll make it for a walk this evening!

Re: the weight thing - I'm actually back up to where I was 1 year ago. This seems unusual since I am fitting clothes differently and am much more energetic. So, after some wallowing last night, I have decided that the scale is lying to me and to press on for another week. However, I may have to reevaluate if things don't change in the next month. I've been about the same (up and down 3 lbs from week to week) for about 6 months now... which makes me think that something needs to be done. The more recent gains (2 weeks in a row totaling 7.5 lbs) is more perplexing... So, we'll see what happens this week - still trying to temper this with a sense that the scale doesn't tell the whole picture. It is a part of the picture, though, and a very easy one to read - so I don't want to fool myself by ignoring it completely.
