Up two pounds in a week. Not bad, considering that I only went to the gym once and got the rest of my exercise in the form of running around the county doing tenant move-out inspections. I've noticed that my burn is not exactly consistent from one day to the next, even if my activities are of the same frequency and intensity. I've decided that as soon as finances allow, I'm going to look into a bodybugg or Bodymedia FIT unit so that I can get an accurate read on my calorie expenditure.
My gym discontinued several of the classes I regularly attend for the summer, so I sat down last night and looked at the summer schedule. I think I'll mix it up by throwing in two Core and More sessions and dropping one TRX class. Until I can improve my core strength, the TRX class is not yielding a level of progress commensurate with my recovery time and I think I may be doing more harm than good by pushing it. They did move a few of the water classes back to evening hours I can actually attend, so I also added two more classes. In total, I'm engaged 6 days a week. I think it's time.
The annual Two Week Retreat from Meat starts today. Husband is going to finish off the beef fingers from last night and then our fridge/freezer is meat free. He's not looking forward to it, but the trade-off is that I'm not making him cook and several of our recipes don't utilize faux-meat. We're also going to stay lacto-ovo, because if I had to give up milk or cheese I would no doubt murder a tenant. You can't really get away from eggs either because a lot of meat replacements utilize rehydrated egg whites along with myco-protein. Seeing as how my hormones are very sensitive to soy protein, I had to do about half and half.
The best part of this is that I will be eating half my weight in watermelon over the next 14 days, and I will love it. The hardest part will be working in the two vegetables or fruits per meal, especially at breakfast. I hate eating breakfast.

Gaining 1.1 kg a Week
31 May 2011
I'm down 1.4 pounds, so it would appear that the stress-free diet approach worked over the weekend. I'm not going to fool myself into thinking I can make it a habit, but it's nice to know that I can indulge in some holiday merriment and still see the scale move downward...

Losing 0.9 kg a Week

It is the weekend of feigned apathy.
I've decided not to weigh in at all this weekend. I'm still tracking my calories to prevent any truly horrifying surprises when I weigh in Tuesday. In the meantime though, I'm not putting a lot of stress on myself with all the holiday food options this weekend.
I made a comment earlier and have since reflected on it a little more - a want and a need are sometimes one and the same. I have come to recognize that I will never achieve my weight loss goals if I have to give up the food that I want and that I love to cook. Every dinner in my house is an indulgence, but I've had to adjust breakfast and lunch to accommodate that need. Likewise, if I want to indulge with a rare Sunday brunch, I'll have to scale back dinner in favor of grilled chicken and vegetables or a salad.
Sure, if I were steel willed and obstinate about my diet, I could lose twenty pounds in a month. The other side of the coin is that I would be a humorless hell harpy with a short temper, no friends, and a perpetually terrified husband. My choice to be healthy shouldn't be an impediment to my enjoyment of life and company. If that means I sacrifice a little bit of expedience to retain sanity and good humor, so be it.

Now that I log all my calories on a daily basis, I can finally corroborate the studies that link lack of sleep to increased cortisol and resulting stress eating. I got about 6 hours last night and despite the fact that I just had lunch, I would kill for a can of coke right now, or a slice of that red wine infused chocolate ganache cake I made last night. If I didn't have a showing in 15 minutes, I might catch a quick nap to try to combat the urge to graze on junk...
FS Buddies, give me strength.

Despite the sick day yesterday and the 2 glasses of red wine I consumed while baking (though I partook of none of my baked goodness, thank you), it seems that I got a pretty good workout while dancing around the kitchen last night. Under 200. Let's see if I can continue the trend.
