Doh! Fat Tuesday!

Okay, it's my first week back with the journaling and the point counting.

I'm having a hard time re-establishing the habit but I was doing pretty good until Fat Tuesday.

I had to be away at a three day business meeting so I planned all my meals and brought them with me so that I wouldn't need to sweat what catered food might be served.

And then?

Fat. Tuesday.

[Aptly named.]

There was this party...

It was about Mardi Gras...

There were trays and trays of po' boys, jambalaya, red beans and rice, fried shrimp and fish...

I couldn't even begin to guess what points to record so I just wrote "GRRRRRR!!!" all over my journal for that day.

My inner Lady Flabina won on Tuesday.

I have been good at weighing myself and my weight has been all over the place.

One day I'm 139, then 132, then 136, then 134.

I'm weighing myself at the same time of day on the same scale so what is that about?

The only thing I can figure is that, because Aunt Flo is here, I have some defective six pound tampons.

You think I would notice something like that though...

I tell you what, birthin' them babies has ruined this gal's "down there" parts!

My weight changes like that when umm...err... I have eaten less fiber. I add more fiber, and then my weight stays about the same.

Mmmmm beans, rice, fried shrimp ... I'd have gone for it too!

The same thing happens to me when I weight too frequently. Now I follow the WW policy of only weighing once a week. It definitely helps your sanity.

Wine is 4 points?! Maybe that's what is messing me up. Thanks for the answer, even though I'm depressed now. Maybe I can just have wine for dinner. Hmm...

I laughed when you said you wrote "GRR" on your entry. I've had a day or two like that myself!!!

Jess, I'd like to switch scales with you. From day to day, mine says 140. 140.5. 139.5, 140. Are you zero-ing it out before you get on?

I just had a "GRRR" night tonight. I went to play Bunco and there were way too many treats calling my name. I can almost still hear them now...."Lisa, Lisa"....
