Ups and downs

I suppose this is like anything else in life....highs and lows. Last night was week 10 on the program. I felt like I had done so well this past week and was actually looking forward to the meeting and weigh-in. In my usual fashion, I of course pile all my jewelry on the desk and hop onto the scale. Yikes! I was up ONE pound. I jumped off, got back on...and yes, it was the same the second time. Immediately I go into panic mode! I felt like I had done very well on following the plan when it came to food and my guess would have been that I had lost two pounds...rather than gain a pound. :(
So...what went wrong? The Weight Management Center team will say that day to day weight fluctuates due to your body, foods, etc. I have a couple thoughts regarding this week. Last week I lost 3.6 and I had done a lot of walking the week prior. This past week I did OK on physical activity, but nothing out of the ordinary. I think I am to the point where I am really going to have to "pump up the volume" even more and burn more calories. Also yesterday, I drank a lot of fluids all day long. A couple of us had a discussion about the fluids when we were leaving the meeting last night, commenting on what a difference it made in the weigh-in when they reduced fluid intake in the afternoon. I know it's a mental thing with the numbers, but when it comes to the scale LESS IS MORE!

Anyone have any thoughts as to how you handle days like this?

Top of mind for this week....more, more, and more exercise. Small bouts when possible and more consistent workouts. Come on warm weather I need you
