Fluctuations

My weight is down to 161 today. I need to not weigh myself till Wednesday now. The detox lost me 2 lbs, but I ended the detox at like 4pm yesterday. Um, I think I'll do a 7DSD starting Saturday or Sunday. This is just getting ridiculous because I cant figure out where that weight came from. I did not eat 10,500 extra calories to gain 3 lbs!!!!! But that aside, I'm just trying to stick to my workouts and clean eating. Last night I did have 1 margarita and popcorn to watch the season finale of Greys Anatomy. Today I'm hoping to get lunch with a good friend and possibly go for a walk if the weather permits it.

Tonight, instead of indulging I really want to take a walk or catch up on my TIU toning routines. I'm a little behind this week but only by a couple so I should easily be able to make them up. It'll be okay. This week, and pretty much since I started dieting, my mantra has been "It's a lifestyle, not a race!" and I just have to keep remind myself of that.


*Update

So I went for a little walk with my sister this afternoon then I went for a 40 min. cardio jog/walk afterwards. :) Nearing the end of my jog, I was pushing really hard to keep jogging, watching my feet hit the pavement and singing "Just around the river bed" in my head as I rounded a bunch of trees and a lake. For some reason that line always comes in my head when I'm jogging in the forest preserve. lol. Anyway, so I look up and stop in shock.... there is a deer standing 10-15 feet in front of me, at a dead stop! He looked just as shocked to see me! Ha. And he was stopped dead center of the pathway. Of course this is the very first time I did not bring a camera with me... I figured everyone was sick of seeing my workout pics in the park. Of course this time I would have had something to shoot! Ugh, I could kick myself. But I had a really great moment with nature and with this deer. I motioned at it to move as if it would understand what the motions meant. It jumped over a few feet, I saw it's poofy white tale. Then I started walking past and it took a few more feet into the trees. I watched it and it watched me. It was a really cool moment, seriously!

After I got home from my jog, I checked my weight for the last time until Wed... and I am back down to 159. My sister had speculated that this fluctuation is due to me ovulating and I can assume she's right, being that I am ovulating right now according to my period tracker app.  lol
