OK, this is an excuse not a reason. There is no valid reason for eating a bacon double cheeseburger with fries for lunch yesterday but it sure tasted good. Couple that with some other intentional indiscretions and the end result will most likely be a negative loss for the week. Notice the choice of workd. It is still a weight loss, just a negative weight loss. I know it is the same thing as gaining but at least is sounds better - a little positive window dressing on what is otherwise a negative result. Even though my goal is to see the scale go lower each week, I made a choice to let it climb a bit this week so that I could indulge myself a bit. I'll find out for sure what the damage is on Saturday. As long as I know why I might come in on the wrong side of the bubble, at least I know ahead of time why and to expect it. This way I completely avoid the sinking depressed feeling when the scale reveals the truth.

I have repeatedly said "I CAN DO THIS" and I know that I can, I just chose NOT to this week and I do not regret it, although I'll need to get another can of grease for the Gazell by the end of next week to get back on track. LOL
