disappointment

So, I weighed myself today. To say the least, I am disappointed in myself. I am back where I started. It sucks that one weekend of being stupid can make you gain 5 pounds. Sucky day for me today! I think I'll make lemonade out of lemons and use this as a major learning experience... not only do I need to watch my diet better but I need to get on the treadmill every day. I wonder if it is possible to lose 15 pounds in the next four weeks so that I can reach my cruise trip goal.

I'm considering buying another scale. (I'm not saying it is wrong that I gained weight!) I can step on it 1 minute and it reads one number, and then 5 minutes later (and I've done nothing to lose or gain weight) it can be + or - 3 or so pounds. I also kind of want a digital one that tells an exact number rather than trying to figure out what it says.

So, yesterday.... hmmm. Well, Tuesday night was a miserable night at our house. Our little one is teething and was awake for 3 hours during the night. And then on top of that she still woke up at her regular time and didn't take great naps. So I put off getting on the treadmill until that evening due to feeling exhausted. Then at about 5:30pm my mom called and said that my little sister would need picked up in Vegas that evening (and I was really excited to see her) so we left to pick her up a little while after that and we didn't get home until about 1 am (mostly due to the teething baby who didn't want to be driving in the car).

Anyhow, I did not get on the treadmill yesterday. And what did I learn from that? I learned that I should not put off getting on the treadmill because something is always bound to come up and make it so I can't or don't want to get on the treadmill. I know I say the same thing all the time... but hopefully at some point (soon) I will get this figured out so that I can get my life back in order.
