The Opposite of Stellar is...

most definitely my week.  I have been stress eating like crazy this week, this after getting some answers about some life situations that should have reduced my stress.  My pain is higher right now.  I have been assuming it is because of the physio therapy on my back and leg, but I also wonder if it has alot to do with the levels of refined sugar I've been eating (read: chocolate chip cookies).  I know...I know.  Not great choices.  I own my choices and they haven't been good.  My only saving grace this week has been that I've walked several times and continued to drink my water, and done the toning and strengthening exercises assigned at physio.  I can celebrate that I guess.  But I want to be stellar, and look good.  I really do.  Why I keep sabotaging myself is beyond me. 

I'm researching the "core" foods according to We.ight W.atchers.  I have been giving myself alot of leeway point wise on that program and it is obviously not working.  I need to have some boundaries I guess, as it seems I'm not strong enough to make it work on my own.  So we'll see. 

I plan on taking my measurements today too.  Part of my goal right now is not so much pounds, but inches.  I have to get back into my summer wardrobe and I won't right now because of the inches I gained post-surgery.  So that has to be my first goal. 

Today I weighed in at 172.2  Yes, I gained back four pounds in the last month, the same four pounds I have been losing over and over again since mid-February.  So there.  It's out there.  I'm being honest about my struggle.  I just wish there was an easy solution.  But healthy eating has never been my strong point.  I have to figure out how to change that.
