fitness and health blah-g

I think I need an icon for this topic since it is so central to my life.

Last Wednesday (5/9) my weigh in was 152.4 lb. (current low)
Yesterday (5/23) weigh in 153.2 lb (up 0.8 lb)

No doubts in my mind how I added 0.8 lb. I'm just surprised it wasn't a bigger gain.

I spent the weekend eating like a teen, I did not track my WW points and I did not put a lot of thought into portion control. Monday morning I felt like crap physically and mentally/emotionally. I really enjoyed the trip to Craps-ville and was aware of the trip as I careened through meal after meal. But the consequences were rough and my body started feeling loggy Saturday night. I spent Monday and Tuesday refocusing on my mental space and "cleaning house" with regard to my outlook. Wednesday I was back on track and using some of my life tools:

focusing on my winning outcome
believing in myself
strategizing
reframing
self-talk
Become more self-conscious of Lethal Logic

In retrospect, I think some portion control between Friday night and Monday morning would have gone a long way towards alleviating how I felt Monday; it would have greatly lessened the degree of thrashing I did to my body and it would have helped my self-esteem instead of sabotaging it.

I'm jotting this all down so that I'll have it to remind me next time.
