Keep Trim Day 2 - The Scale Said What?

Salt is definitely on my watch list. Yesterday's calorie intake was not so low as to cause the body to think I was starving it but definitely not high enough to gain.  But the scales today said 207.4 (1.4 lb GAIN) ugh. All I can think is it must have been the salt and soy added for the cabbage dish last night. Of course that would probably mean it is mostly water but it still is annoying to see the scale go up without having enjoyed something to cause it!

I got a limited amount of walking time in on my lunch hour. I went outside to warm up (the AC is terrible!) and walked around the building. All total I probably hit a half mile today but that is no where near enough exercise. This is the part I still need to figure out. By the time I get home the afternoon storms have started. If it rains tomorrow I will dig the Wii out and at least burn a few calories that way.

What I ate today:

Breakfast: Watermelon and toast
Lunch: Salad and sliced deli meats
Dinner: Leftover beef and cauliflower with sliced tomatoes and one slice of toast.
I will most likely have a cottage cheese (1/2 cup) with a sugar free jello tonight as a snack. Working on more water intake and hope the scale is kind by morning.

  1. Don't you have a raincoat? I walk even in the rain, and the snow.

    The trickiest part was finding waterproof boots that were sturdy and comfortable enough to walk in. I tried many types and settled on some Survivors Steel Toe boots I found in the men's shoe department at Wal-mart for about $20.

    1. Because the arthritis is in my feet, I have a huge problem with shoes and balance so walking when it is wet not only causes an arthritis flare but also is hazardous to my body because I seem to wind up on the ground way to often! I am hoping as the weight goes down the feet will not mind as much and I can regain my balance too.
