Losing a part of me

I was disgusted yesterday morning when I stepped onto the bathroom scale and saw that my weight had jumped back up to 288 lbs., but I also had a very busy and stressful day yesterday, so not only did I not have the time to take any positive steps (such as exercising) to do something about it, but I also did not think to write about it. It was Leslie who told me this morning that I had neglected to post, and I took a minute to write up my thoughts.

I was relieved this morning when I stepped onto the bathroom scale and saw that my weight had dropped back below 285 lbs. because it meant that the jump was likely a temporary result due to high sodium intake and retaining water. I will also say two things:

1. Aside from my usual pre-bed pee, I woke up a few times in the night to repeat, and then also had a very strong pee this morning, and
2. I had my first good bowel movement in several days this morning.

All of that contributed to getting my weight back down, but that does not mean that I can be complacent. If I am going to do this, I have to do this.

It took me a long time to fall asleep last night, and so I am pretty tired today. I will try to take a nap before class.

Have a great day!
