One of the ways I am trying to bring my weight into the forefront of my mind is to weigh myself each and every day. I try not to get too wrapped up in the numbers, understanding that it is the trend over a few days that helps me know if I am on the right track or not.
Today though, I started off the day on the wrong foot. I ate a late breakfast, had some less than happy dialogs with a few people, and it really bummed me out.
When I feel like this, I just want to eat junk food, and it is especially hard since Sabine brought home a pizza last night. I had one slice, but have resolved not to eat any more of it.
The good news is that I got a small bench to do my dumb bell workouts on for free off of Freecycle. This will be really great, once I get it together and start using it. While I don’t always see myself needing to use the bench, it will help me do certain exercises and keep perfect form.
I have the car today, a rarity as of late, and I haven’t run off to the gym yet. Mainly because every time I go, I feel bad. I have a deal where I work on the gym’s website and help them with their technology and in trade, I get access to the gym, but I haven’t been able to help very much lately as I have been super busy. They have been relatively understanding about it, and probably don’t realize that I feel the pressure, but I do.
Thankfully, the weather isn’t too bad, so I will probably take out our dog for an hour and walk and play with her. Hopefully, that will burn off most of the calories I take in for lunch.
I am down a single pound versus yesterday, which is pretty good in my mind. I am not sure what I am going to do next in order to loose the weight that I need, but I know that I have to keep focused because I am sure a piece of my depression over the last three months now is directly related to my increasing weight.

Do remember that it is normal for weight to fluctuate up and down a bit. If you’re feeling down, go do some exercise - which is shown to help make you feel *better*.
