Measurement Monday: June 23rd, 2014

I fell off the wagon, it backed over me, and then drove off. Friday I went to happy hour with a few friends. I really did a decent job. I had a skinny margarita and we split nachos and I ate a reasonable amount. Awesome, right? Then they sent me home with the leftovers...so I ate them for breakfast because I woke up starving after eating carbs the night before. Saturday, other than the nachos, I did pretty well. Then my fiance suggested Red Robin for dinner. I was going to get bottomless cooked broccoli and eat my burger without the bun, but then...I dunno...bottomless fries. Needless to say, I ate two servings of fries (how did that happen?) and a third of my burger. I will say I'm glad that I only ate a third of my burger. Normally I would have eaten both servings of fries and my whole burger!

So, then I took the remaining two-thirds of my burger home, and ate it for breakfast on Sunday. Then Sunday I met up with a friend and we had the nugget meal at McDonald's. It's a tradition, don't judge.  Then I didn't really eat the rest of the day. I wasn't hungry until 10 o'clock last night, and I was not going to cook that late.

But today is a new day. I'd like to change my measurement day to Friday (before the cheating), but I like the punishment and immediate repercussion of cheating based on how it affects my measurements.

You know what's most frustrating about this? The fact that the other day, before all this cheating, I had gotten down to 195. It was a new low for me! Ugh. Now I'm up 6 pounds from that. Today I'm seeing my doctor to see if she clears me for exercise. My gym membership starts back up on July first. I am going back to the gym in July regardless. I can't take this sitting around not doing anything crap. Plus, I feel fine! I've felt fine almost the entire time. my abdomen hurt the first month, and since then, for the last two freaking months, I really haven't noticed any change.

On another note, I can't believe my left bicep is up an inch. That seems weird. Yesterday my fiance John, and I finished painting the bathroom. I know there's such a thing as "pump" after exercise, but that seems excessive to me. Plus, I feel like my right bicep would have increased proportionately, especially because I'm right handed (although I paint with both).

I'm not going to cheat this week. It's not happening. I have my own wedding looming, and since I'm making my dress, it'd be great if there was less of me to cover. Sure, my wedding is still a year out, but still. I'm not going to be a fat bride.
