Little set backs

Weigh in this week was a bit of a set back, with the scale showing me going up 1.6 pounds. This isn't horrible and it's something I've come to expect now and again, but it doesn't make it any less of a downer. I am, however, able to look back over the last week and see where I made my mistakes. My usual pattern has me hording my weekly flex points to use in one swoop (usually about half of them). Last week, though, I nickle and dimed my way through them, meaning I was eating more on a daily basis than usual. I stayed within my points for the week, but the extra on each day built up.

Not to be a complete downer, I did make it to the gym three times again last week, which is good. My right knee, however, started aching about 2/3s of the way through my cardio on Saturday, so I cut it short to keep from sparking an injury that would take me out of the gym completely. Regardless of shortened workouts, I made it all three days, even though I had to force myself to go on Saturday. I need to find the time to start working my weight circuit back into things as well as getting the gym to reactivate my Fitlinxx account to help me with tracking things.

Right now, I have three months to drop 36 pounds to stay on target for my goal. That's twelve pounds a month for the next three months. It's doable, but it's on the top end of doable. We'll see if I'm able to make it and break the 300 pound barrier by my one year Weight Watchers anniversary. It would certainly be nice to be under 300 by my birthday.
