Subject: The Rubber Scale

Anyone else have a scale that's made out of rubber? You'll easily recognize it if you do, because all your weight does is bounce up and down.

Saturday 239
Sunday 237
Monday 239
Tuesday 238
Wednesday 239
Thursday 238
Friday 237

What's up with this? This is my second week of re-induction and I haven't cheated. I haven't had any LC snack foods. I've kept my calories and fat intake up, and my carbs have been under 20 each day. I started walking on Tuesday (.25 to .50 mile a day), and I don't think this is enough activity to cause my muscles to retain water.

Maybe it's the "fat cells filling up with water" that some wonderful (thank you, this made so much sense!) person posted to the FLOCERS list.

On the other hand, I tried on my reference "tight" jeans (that I got into for only one day in April) on Sunday, and they were still too tight. Yesterday they were fine, and today they were actually easy to fasten.

Maybe I need to make a concerted effort to find my tape measure. I actually gave up on finding the original one that I had and bought a new one a couple of weeks ago. I've now managed to lose it (still in the package). I swear there are thieving little gremlins in my house.

Oh well. I'm trying really hard to stay focused and not use this as an excuse to cheat. Nothing sounds good to me except Mexican food and cheesecake. I'm fighting a bit of depression (finally figured out the cause this afternoon), and the bouncing scale isn't helping.

I'm doing the CAD/CALP thing of daily weighing and averaging your weight for the week (there will be a weight loss reflected, but that's just because I lost so much last week and started pretty high so last week's average is high). I'm don't want to weigh less often, because I rely on the scale to tell me when I'm doing something wrong (like the 2 diet cokes on Sunday that resulted in a 2 pound water gain).

I'm still trying to find my way in all of this, and figure out what works for me.
