You know those days when the last thing you want to do is front up on your blog about your weight?

This is one of those days for me. While I’m not stressing (I’ll explain why), I am a smidge embarrassed about posting up the actual numbers.

BUT, what is the point if I don’t do it?

SW: 264
LW: N/A
CW: 232

Yep, the 230s. It’s been a while since I have seen them again, and they’re not a welcome sight to be sure. The last time I stepped on the scale and was only just close to 230, I freaked. This time? Well, the vacation was good for me – especially for my head.

Why I’m not stressing.

I went on vacation for a week. I ate plenty of seafood mornay (mornay is a cheesy creamy sauce), I had smoothies made with ice cream, I had carrot cake, I had Chinese food with the husband and with friends, I drank more alcohol last week than I’ve drank in the past three months…

And I accept that.

I had a frigging fantastic time on vacation, and I don’t regret a moment of it.

Part of the weight is dehydration from the alcohol, which is why I’m boosting my water considerably this week. Pounds will come off as I rehydrate.

Part of the weight was because I ate heaps more calories than I have been since last May. Pounds will come off as I adjust back to lower calorie intake.

I’ve printed off a heap of raw recipes that I am so excited about trying in the coming weeks. Pounds will come off as I eat more nutrient-rich and healthy food.

While it sucks to have to lose pounds that I had already lost, I’m looking at it in a different way: It might take a couple weeks or a couple months, but I have lost this weight before and I can lose it again.

It’s as simple as that.
