Stupid scale....

I had toyed with the thought of not weighing myself at all until the end of the 21 Day fix and just see what the final results were. I know the scale can vary and it always seems to be heavier on a weigh in day.  Well yesterday morning at 6AM I stepped on the scale and was shocked to see myself down 3 lbs since Monday.  I felt really good all day but then this morning thinking that because I can weigh myself later in the morning, since it is Saturday, I will weigh less. BIG FAT NOPE!! I was heavier today than yesterday.  UGH!!! The reason I was thinking about the scale is this small fluctuation of less than a pound throws me into a downward spiral, causing massive binging on junk food and

It is funny that my first instinct was to eat something but instead I put on my work out clothes did my Dirty 30 work out the morning then took Loki for a walk.  While my natural reaction was quit and eat it didn't take hold like it normally does.  I thought do you work out and you probably just need to drink more water today.

Tonight however all hell broke lose on my diet and I feel just awful about the whole thing.  We were invited to do a local wine walk and dinner afterwards with some friends of ours.  I told hubby I don't know if we can because what would I eat at the restaurant. We hoped for the best and went out with our friends. I don't drink so not having the wine was no problem. Our friends made reservations at a local place for dinner and I kid you not when I say there was NOTHING on the list that was diet friendly. Granted I could have ordered a side salad but at this point I wasn't just hungry I was HANGRY!  They had fried food, burgers, pasta and 18 oz Ribeye steaks.  I looked over the menu 3 times and finally decided the burger will have just to do tonight.  It was a very good burger and I didn't eat it all and I didn't eat all my fries. It was a great night spent with friends but I feel like it I failed.  The difference will be this time if I can keep going.  Not let this derail me completely and keep going and start fresh tomorrow.
